The Last Time Lyrics

Cover art for The Last Time lyrics by Taylor Swift

i think this is a song about a couple who've hurt each other in the past, but mainly he's hurt her. it seems that he's left her many times before just to get come back to her, because for whatever reason he can't stay away from her and this song from his perspective is an apology from him to her, when he says "This is the last time" it's meant as saying I promise not to hurt you again. At the same time, she's been badly hurt by him many times before, and then he comes back and she can't help forgiving him, just for him to do the same thing all over again "And all the times I let you in just for you to go again Disappear when you come back Everything is better" the chorus from her perspective- she says "This is the last time" meaning that she's not going through this again, this is his last chance to make it up to her
