The Other Side of the Door Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Niammh 

Cover art for The Other Side of the Door lyrics by Taylor Swift

I get from this song that she saw him with another girl and missunderstood the situation which caused tham to fight so she just walked away in the middle of their fight ignoring what he was saying because she was so mad. She feels like she has had enough and wants to give up on him but then looks at things more closely. She tells him to leave but wants him to see passed that and stand outside her window throwing pebbles saying he loves her. "Me and my stupid pride are sitting here alone going through the photographs, staring at the phone" .. This line says that how she got the wrong idea about the other girl so was left sitting alone with no one else to blame but herself and how shes waiting for him to call her. Shes sitting alone thionking of what eac of them said to each other when they were fighting, and how she misread everything. "I don't need you, but I do, I do, I do"... she wants to believe she doesn't need him but does. In the last verse shes thinking back of a certain moment in their relationship. She wonders if this other girl really was worth all this fighting and finally admits she does in fact need him!
