Songfacts®:

  • "Labyrinth" is about the mixed emotions over getting swept off your feet after previous heartbreaks.
  • Taylor Swift compares falling in love to a maze

    It only feels this raw right now
    Lost in the labyrinth of my mind
    Break up, break free, break through, break down


    The singer feels vulnerable, confused and scared as she's gotten smitten so quickly. She's worried that after previous hurts, the same thing will happen again.

    You would break your back to make me break a smile

    There is also exhilaration at the prospect of a new relationship with a loving partner.
