Taylor Swift "Fortnight" Lyrics

I was supposed to be sent away but they forgot to come and get me
I was a functioning alcoholic 'til nobody noticed my new aesthetic
All of this to say I hope you’re okay, but you’re the reason
And no one here’s to blame but what about your quiet treason

And for a fortnight there we were
Forever running to you
Sometimes ask about the weather
Now you’re in my backyard, turned into good neighbors
Your wife waters flowers. I wanna kill her.

All my mornings are Mondays stuck in an endless February
I took the miracle move on drug, the effects were temporary
And I love you, it’s ruining my life (I love you, it's ruining my life)
I touched you for only a fortnight (I touched you)
But I touched you

And for a fortnight there we were, forever running to you
Sometimes ask about the weather
Now you’re in my backyard turned into good neighbors
Your wife waters flowers. I wanna kill her.

And for a fortnight, there we were together
Running to you, sometimes come and turn my sweater
And now you’re at the mailbox, turned into good neighbors
My husband is cheating. I wanna kill him.

And I love you, it’s ruining my life (I love you, it's ruining my life)
I touched you for only a fortnight (I touched you)
But I touched you
And I love you
It’s ruining my life (I love you, it's ruining my life)
I touched you for only a fortnight (I touched you)
But I touched you

I’m calling you, but you won’t be called?
Another fortnight lost in America
Going to Florida by the car you won
But it won’t start up till you touch, touch, touch me
