Taylor - Photoshoot 2010

I didn't know what I would find
When I went lookin' 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 nothin' seems to work the first few times
Am I right?

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

You saw me there, but never knew
That I would give it all up to be
A part of this, a part of you
And now it's all too late, so wewe see
You could have helped if wewe had wanted...

I'm five years old
It's getting cold
I've got my big kanzu, koti on

I hear your laugh
And look up smiling at you
I run and run
Past the pumpkin, boga patch
And the trekta rides
Look now, the sky is gold
I hug your legs
And fall asleep on the way home

I don't know why all the trees change in the fall
But I know you're not scared of anything at all
Don't know if Snow White's house is near au far away
But I know I had the best siku with wewe today

I'm thirteen now
And don't know how
My Marafiki could be so mean
I come nyumbani crying
And wewe hold me tight
And grab the keys

And we drive and drive
Until we found a town far enough away...

And wewe might think I'm bulletproof, but I'm not
You took a swing, I took it hard
And down here from the ground I see who wewe are

I'm sick and tired of your attitude
I'm feeling like I don't know you
You tell me that wewe upendo me then wewe cut me down

[Chorus]
And I need wewe like a heartbeat
But wewe know wewe got a mean streak
Makes me run for cover when you're around
And here's to wewe and your temper
Yes, I remember what wewe alisema last night
And I know that wewe see what you're doing to me
Tell me why

You could write a book on how to ruin someone's perfect day
Well I get so confused and frustrated
Forget what...

I'm walking fast through the traffic lights
Busy streets and busy lives
And all we know is touch and go
We are alone with our changing minds
We fall in upendo till it hurts au bleeds, au fades in time

And I never saw wewe coming
And I’ll never be the same

You come around and the armor falls
Pierce the room like a kanuni, cannon ball
Now all we know, is don’t let go
We are alone just wewe and me
Up in your room and our slates are clean
Just twin moto signs, four blue eyes

So wewe were never a saint
And I upendo the shades of wrong
We learn to live with the pain
Mosaic broken hearts
But this upendo is great and wild

And I...

I remember when we broke up the first time
Saying this is it, I've had enough, 'cause like
We haven't seen each other in a month
When you, alisema you, needed space, what?
Then wewe come around again and say
Baby, I miss wewe and I swear I'm gonna change
Trust me, remember how that lasted for a day
I say, I hate you, we break up, wewe call me, I upendo you

Oooh we called it off again last night
But Oooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you
We are never ever ever getting back together
We are never ever ever getting back together
wewe go talk to your Marafiki talk
To my Marafiki talk to me
But we...

Let me know how's it feel
To be under my skin
Wrapped around my moyo
Is it like anywhere you've been?
And everything I do I do it all for wewe

So why the hell don't wewe upendo me?
Why the hell don't wewe need me?
Like I need wewe
Why are wewe so far above me?
But I was just a toy
That what wewe destroyed
Stupid Boy

I have been, Looking in
Tryin to read your mind
Give wewe the benefit of the doubt
Every single time
But didn't wewe waltz right kwa
I screamin' out inside

So why the hell don't wewe upendo me?
Why the hell don't wewe need me?
Like I need wewe
Why are wewe so far above me?

But I was just a toy...

You, with your words like knives
And swords and weapons that wewe use against me
You have knocked me off my feet again
Got me feeling like I'm nothing
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
Calling me out when I'm wounded
You picking on the weaker man

You can take me down with just one single blow
But wewe don't know, what wewe don't know...

Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so wewe can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why wewe gotta be so mean?

You, with your switching sides
And your wildfire lies and your humiliation...

hujambo Stephen, I know looks can be deceiving
But I know I saw a light in wewe
And as we walked we would talk
I didn't say half the things I wanted to
Of all the girls tossing rocks at your window
I'll be the one waiting there even when it's cold
Hey Stephen, boy wewe might have me believing
I don't always have to be alone

[CHORUS]
Cause I can't help it if wewe look like an Angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss wewe in the rain so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met wewe
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...

I see your face in my mind as I drive away,
Cause none of us thought it was gonna end that way.
People are people,
And sometimes we change our minds.
But it's killing me to see wewe go after all this time.

Mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm

Music starts playin' like the end of a sad movie,
It's the kinda ending wewe don't really wanna see.
Cause it's tragedy and it'll only bring wewe down,
Now I don't know what to be without wewe around.

And we know it's never simple,
Never easy.
Never a clean break, noone here to save me.
You're the only thing I know like the back...

wewe have a way of coming easily to me
And when wewe take, wewe take the very best of me
So I start a fight cause I need to feel something
And wewe do what wewe want cause I'm not what wewe wanted

[Chorus:]

Oh what a shame, what a rainy ending aliyopewa to a perfect day
Just walk away, no use defending words that wewe will never say
And now that I'm sitting here thinking it through
I've never been anywhere cold as you

You put up walls and paint them all a shade of gray
And I stood there loving wewe and wished them all away
And wewe come away with a great little story
Of a mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you...
