I'm the life you chose and all this terrible danger / Would it be enough if i could never give you peace
The analogy of Matty as a “forget him” pill in the Fortnight video and “I took the miracle move on drug, the effects were temporary” is the heart of it I feel. If you had to have an extremely painful surgery and could choose to go medicated or not, what would you pick? She had to end things with Joe but she couldn’t bring herself to do it for years because she knew the pain of actually losing him would be too much to bear, and along comes this person peddling that he can take away all the pain. He sells her a story about how he is the great love of her life, that he’s never forgotten her all this time, that it was supposed to be them all along. He can give her everything she can’t bear to let go of. And who wouldn’t want to believe that, when the alternative is … the love that you thought was forever just ends and there’s nothing and no one? So she does it, she takes the pill, she has the surgery, only to find he was selling not just snake oil but poison that leaves her far worse off than she was in the beginning. She feels all the pain of the surgery and the side effects of the drug in one fell swoop.

I've been seeing so much critisism that ttpd sounds exactly like midnights and i really don't get it, for me it sounds entirely different. Anyone else?

tale as old as honey, a moment everybody knows History of Man (Maisie Peters) x The Prophecy (Taylor Swift)
what really blows my mind here is that cardigan actually did become the story of this album because when she felt lost and forgotten he came along and said she was his favorite….. only to throw her back under the bed the second he couldn’t handle the heat it’s all so
and when she did the whole “this song is about you” thing to dedicate the song to him she was thinking he was the one who put her on and made her feel cozy and warm but two weeks later he was the one stuffing her under the bed
Jake was literally telling 20-year-old Taylor he could see her having his babies and people were like, "why would that dumb little girl think a three-month relationship was 'the one real thing [he'd] ever known'"
ttpd is like... this fucking sucked... it was my fault... fuck joe... this also fucking sucked... fuck matty... i thought i was gonna die... straight up commit me to an asylum... FUCK matty... fuck joe... no one knows me... fuck kim kardashian... i created every problem and every consequence i have to face... please see me as human... i am exposing my flaws so you see me as a real person... fuck jake gyllenhaal... if you're gonna be so up my business you better realize how fucked up my business is... also hi killatrav ily... there is nothing redeeming about this chapter of my life... hi mom ily... this ALSO fucking sucked... there may be good in the world... here is every sin i have ever committed... i was promised love and forever repeatedly and no one ever delivered... my reaction to trauma was awful... i made so many bad decisions... if you're gonna crucify me do it for good reasons... are you not entertained?
thinking about “and i’m pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free” and “give me back my girlhood, it was mine first” is actually making me feel sick to my stomach
A complete story:
FUCK
since you admitted it, i keep picturing her lips on your neck, i can’t unsee it. my heart, my hips, my body, my love. trying to find a part of me that you didn't touch, gave up on me like I was a bad drug. i hate that because of you, i can’t love you. quiet my fears with the touch of your hand, paper cut stings from our paper thin plans.
i love you it’s ruining my life
"why do you have to make me feel small so you can feel whole inside? why do you have to put down my dreams so you're the only thing on my mind?" into "because you got her on your arm and me in the wings, i'll get your longing glances but she'll get your ring, and you will say you had the best of intentions, and maybe i will finally learn my lesson" is an absolutely insane combination given.....
