Cover art for The Last Time lyrics by Taylor Swift

A girl and guy fall in love. She feels like their love isn't the strongest, or the most special, but she loves how she feels safe and loved with that guy. She treats him both like a best friend and a lover, and is truly happy when he's around. He is still in love with someone else, and she knows him well enough to realize it. But he tells her he loves her and means it, and she tries to make herself believe it, and to forget how his heart doesn't entirely belong to her. When they're together, he can only think about her, but whenever he's alone or far from her, he can't stop thinking about the past and notices how he won't be able to give her what she needs, which is to be loved by him, to be the only one on his mind. He often ' leaves ' by pushing her away because of these mixed emotions. He wants to be with her, wants to love her fully because he truly cares for her, but he's never able to forget that other one. Meanwhile, she doesn't understand why he keeps breaking her, but lets him come back each time, in need of him. Both of them recognize how this love is making the other suffer, but they can't let go, because it always seems right when they're together.

And he says it's the last time he'll hurt her, and she says how it's the last time she'll let him...

You just exactly said whats on my mind right now you know ...
