Picture To Burn
State the obvious, I didn’t get my perfect fantasy
I realize you love yourself more than you could ever love me
So go and tell your friends that I’m obsessive and crazy
That’s fine I’ll tell mine you’re gay
And by the way…

[Chorus:]

I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You’re a redneck heartbreak
Who’s really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I’m concerned you’re
Just another picture to burn

There’s no time for tears,
I’m just sitting here planning my revenge
There’s nothing stopping me
From going out with all of your best friends
And if you come around saying sorry to me
My daddy’s gonna show you how sorry you’ll be

[Repeat Chorus]

If you’re missing me,
You’d better keep it to yourself
Cause coming back around here
Would be bad for your health…

I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You’re a redneck heartbreak
Who’s really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
In case you haven’t heard,
I really really hate that..

[Repeat Chorus]

Burn, burn, burn, baby, burn
You’re just another picture to burn
Baby, burn…

A Place in this World
I don’t know what I want, so don’t ask me
Cause I’m still trying to figure it out
Don’t know what’s down this road, I’m just walking
Trying to see through the rain coming down
Even though I’m not the only one
Who feels the way I do

[Chorus:]

I’m alone, on my own, and that’s all I know
I’ll be strong, I’ll be wrong, oh but life goes on
I’m just a girl, trying to find a place in
This world

Got the radio on, my old blue jeans
And I’m wearing my heart on my sleeve
Feeling lucky today, got the sunshine
Could you tell me what more do I need
And tomorrow’s just a mystery, oh yeah
But that’s ok

[Repeat Chorus]

Maybe I’m just a girl on a mission
But I’m ready to fly

Taylor Swift - Taylor Swift (2006)

The Outside
I didn’t know what I would find
When I went looking for a reason, I know
I didn’t read between the lines
And, baby, I’ve got nowhere to go
I tried to take the road less traveled by
But nothing seems to work the first few times
Am I right?

[Chorus:]

So how can I ever try to be better?
Nobody ever lets me in
I can still see you, this ain’t the best view
On the outside looking in
I’ve been a lot of lonely places
I’ve never been on the outside

You saw me there, but never knew
I would give it all up to be
A part of this, a part of you
And now it’s all too late so you see
You could’ve helped if you had wanted to
But no one notices until it’s too
Late to do anything

[Repeat Chorus]

So how can I ever try to be better?
Nobody ever lets me in
I can still see you, this ain’t the best view
On the outside looking in
I’ve been a lot of lonely places
I’ve never been on the outside

Stay Beautiful
Cory’s eyes are like a jungle
He smiles, it’s like the radio
He whispers songs into my window
In words nobody knows
There’s pretty girls on every corner
That watch him as he’s walking home
Saying, does he know
Will you ever know

[Chorus:]
You’re beautiful
Every little piece love, don’t you know
You’re really gonna be someone, ask anyone
When you find everything you looked for
I hope your life leads you back to my door
Oh but if it don’t, stay beautiful

Cory finds another way to be
The highlight of my day
I’m taking pictures in my mind
So I can save them for a rainy day
It’s hard to make conversation
When he’s taking my breath away
I should say, hey by the way

[Chorus]

If you and I are a story
That never gets told
If what you are is a daydream
I’ll never get to hold, at least you’ll know

You’re beautiful every little piece love,
and don’t you know your really gonna be someone ask anyone.
and when you find everything you looked for,
I hope your life leads you back to my front door.
oh but if it don’t will you stay
beautiful beautiful beautiful
beautiful beautiful beautiful
la la la
Oh, oh oh oh,
oh but if it don’t,
stay beautiful
stay beautiful
Na na na na na

Mary’s Song (Oh My My My)
She said, I was seven and you were nine
I looked at you like the stars that shined
In the sky, the pretty lights
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
Growing up and falling in love and our mamas smiled
And rolled their eyes and said oh my my my

Take me back to the house in the backyard tree
Said you’d beat me up, you were bigger than me
You never did, you never did
Take me back when our world was one block wide
I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried
Just two kids, you and I…
Oh my my my my

Well, I was sixteen when suddenly
I wasn’t that little girl you used to see
But your eyes still shined like pretty lights
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
They never believed we’d really fall in love
And our mamas smiled and rolled their eyes
And said oh my my my…

Take me back to the creek beds we turned up
Two A.M. riding in your truck and all I need is you next to me
Take me back to the time we had our very first fight
The slamming of doors instead of kissing goodnight
You stayed outside till the morning light
Oh my my my my

A few years had gone and come around
We were sitting at our favorite spot in town
And you looked at me, got down on one knee

Take me back to the time when we walked down the aisle
Our whole town came and our mamas cried
You said I do and I did too
Take me home where we met so many years before
We’ll rock our babies on that very front porch
After all this time, you and I

I’ll be eighty-seven; you’ll be eighty-nine
I’ll still look at you like the stars that shine
In the sky, oh my my my…

I'm Only Me When I'm With You
Friday night beneath the stars,
in a field behind your yard,
you and I are paintin’ pictures in the sky.
And sometimes we don’t say a thing;
just listen to the crickets sing.
Everything I need is right here by my side.
And I know everything about you
I don’t wanna live without you.

[Chorus:]
I’m only up when you’re not down.
Don’t wanna fly if you’re still on the ground.
It’s like no matter what I do.
Well you drive me crazy half the time;
the other half I’m only trying to let you know that what I feel is true.
And I’m only me when I’m with you.

Just a small town boy and girl
livin’ in a crazy world.
Tryin’ to figure out what is and isn’t true.
And I don’t try to hide my tears.
The secrets or my deepest fears.
Through it all nobody gets me like you do.
And you know everything about me.
You say you can’t live without me.

[Chorus]

When I’m with anybody else it’s so hard to be myself.
Only you can tell.

[Chorus:]
That I’m only up when you’re not down.
Don’t wanna fly if you’re still on the ground.
It’s like no matter what I do.
Well you drive me crazy half the time;
the other half I’m only trying to let you know that what I feel is true.
And I’m only me
Who I wanna be
Well, I’m only me when I’m with you
With you
Uh huh
Yeah

A Perfectly Good Heart
[Chorus 1:]
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?
Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart,now?
Why would you wanna make the very first scar?
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?

Maybe I should’ve seen the signs, should’ve read the writing on the wall.
And realized by the distance in your eyes that I would be the one to fall.
No matter what you say, I still can’t believe
That you would walk away.
It don’t make sense to me, but:

[Repeat Chorus 1:]
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?
Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart, now?
Why would you wanna make the very first scar?
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?

It’s not unbroken anymore.
How do I get it back the way it was before?

[Chorus 2:]
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?
Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart,now?
Why would you wanna make the very first scar?
Why would you wanna break, would you wanna break a:

[Repeat Chorus 1:]
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?
Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart, now?
Why would you wanna make the very first scar?
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?

Fifteen
You take a deep breath and you walk through the doors
Its the morning of your very first day
You say hi to your friends you aint seen in a while
Try and stay out of everybodys way
Its your freshman year and youre gonna be here
For the next four years in this town
Hoping one of those senior boys will wink at you and say
You know I havent seen you around, before

Cause when youre fifteen and somebody tells you they love you
Youre gonna believe them
And when youre fifteen
Feeling like there nothing to figure out
Well count to ten, take it in
This is life before who youre gonna be
Fifteen

You sit in class next to a redhead named Abigail
And soon enough youre best friends
Laughing at the other girls who think theyre so cool
Well be out of here as soon as we can
And then youre on your very first date and hes got a car
And youre feeling like flying
And youre momas waiting up and you think hes the one
And youre dancing round your room when the night end
When the night ends

Cause when youre fifteen and somebody tell you they love you
Youre gonna believe them
When youre fifteen and your first kiss
Makes your head spin round but
In your life youll do greater than dating the boy on the football team
But I didnt know it at fifteen

When all you wanted was to be wanted
Wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now
Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday
But I realized some bigger dreams of mine

And Abigail gave everything she had to a boy
Who changed his mind and we both cried

Cause when youre fifteen and somebody tells you they love you
Youre gonna believe them
And when youre fifteen, dont forget to look before you fall
Ive found that time can heal most anything
And you just might find who youre supposed to be
I didnt know who I was supposed to be at fifteen

La la la la la .. la la la la la .. La la la la la
Youre very first day
Take a deep breath girl
Take a deep breath as you walk through those doors.

Taylor Swift - Fearless (2008)

Hey Stephen
Hey Stephen, I know looks can be deceiving but I know I saw a light in you
As we walked we were talking and I didn’t say half the things I wanted to
Of all the girls tossing rocks at your window
Ill be the one waiting there even when it’s cold
Hey Stephen, boy you might have me believing I don’t always have to be alone.

[Chorus:]
Cause I can’t help it if you look like an angel
Can’t help I if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic I’ve been feeling since I met you
Can’t help it if there’s no one else
I can’t help myself

Hey Stephen, I’ve been holding back this feeling
So I’ve got some things to say to you
I seen it all so I thought but I never seen nobody shine the way you do
The way you walk, the way you talk, the way you say my name
It’s beautiful, wonderful, don’t you ever change
Hey Stephen, why are people always leaving
I think you and I should stay the same

[Chorus]

They’re dimming the street lights
You’re perfect for me why aren’t you here tonight?
I’m waiting alone now so come on and come out and pull me near
Shine, shine, shine

Hey Stephen I could give you fifty reasons why I should be the one you choose
All those other girls, well they’re beautiful but would they write a song for you
