Written by Taylor Swift and Aaron Dessner

If you would’ve blinked then I would’ve
Looked away at the first glance
If you tasted poison you could’ve
Spit me out at the first chance
If I was some paint did it splatter
On a promising grown man
And if I was a child, did it matter
If you got to wash your hands
Oh, all I used to do was pray
Would’ve, could’ve, should’ve
If you’d never looked my way

I would’ve stayed
On my knees
And I damn sure never would’ve danced with the devil
At nineteen, and the god’s honest truth is that the pain was heaven
And now that I’m grown
I’m scared of ghosts
Memories feel like weapons
And now that I know
I wish you’d left me wondering

If you never touched me I would’ve
Gone along with the righteous
If I never blushed then they could’ve
Never whispered about this
And if you never saved me from boredom
I could’ve gone on as I was
But lord, you made me feel important
And then you tried to erase us
Oh, you’re a crisis of my faith
Would’ve, could’ve, should’ve
If I’d only played it safe

I would’ve stayed
On my knees
And I damn sure never would’ve danced with the devil
At nineteen, and the god’s honest truth is that the pain was heaven
And now that I’m grown
I’m scared of ghosts
Memories feel like weapons
And now that I know
I wish you’d left me wondering
God rest my soul
I miss who I used to be
The tomb won’t close
Stained glass windows in my mind
I regret you all the time
Can’t let this go
I fight with you in my sleep
The wound won’t close
I keep on waiting for a sign
I regret you all the time

If clarity’s in death then why won’t this die?
Years of tearing down our banners
You and I
Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts
Give me back my girlhood
It was mine first

And I damn sure never would’ve danced with the devil
At nineteen, and the god’s honest truth is that the pain was heaven
And now that I’m grown
I’m scared of ghosts
Memories feel like weapons
And now that I know
I wish you’d left me wondering

God rest my soul
I miss who I used to be
The tomb won’t close
Stained glass windows in my mind
I regret you all the time
I can’t let this go
I fight with you in my sleep
The wound won’t close
I keep on waiting for a sign
I regret you all the time

Oh, god rest my soul
I miss who I used to be
The tomb won’t close
Stained glass windows in my mind
I regret you all the time
I can’t let this go
I fight with you in my sleep
The wound won’t close
I keep on waiting for a sign
I regret you all the time

  16. I've seen a lot of talk about the 'give me back my girlhood" line, but the one that really gets me is "If I was some paint did it splatter / On a promising grown man". The twist on the famous "promising young man" line that is used to help abusers and all get away with everything is so clever, because she removes the "youth" factor, highlighting the age gap and imbalance in power, and it shows she never could have hurt him as much as he did back then

  31. After hearing this songs, I really wanted to cry but I can't because I'm afraid of people questioning me why. But this time, I'll speak what it is behind. I actually didn't enjoyed being young because all I've experienced was pain from those people who harrast me for many times and when I grow up it affects me a lot. Those nightmares turns into trauma. A lot. There are times I woke up in nights and crying because I dreamed about my shit past. How I wish I can move on from it. I really love this song. I think this will be one of my favorite from her album. I love you Tay, thank you for keep inspiring me everyday even though I really want to give up, your music keeps pushing me to wake up everyday. Thank you so much♥️

  34. the repeating lyrics esp at the end with increased intensity really reflects how her bad memories keep on coming back no matter how much she ignores, or pushes it away. people keep saying how she should move on already and not talk about her exes but actually its not her exes she's talking about but her own experiences that keep on bothering her for years no matter how much she sings or talk about it. these kinds of memories just never go away easily.
