  • You thought that it would be okay, at first
    The situation could be saved, of course
    But they'd already picked out your grave and hearse
    Beware the wrath of masked crusaders

    Did you girl-boss too close to the sun?
    Did they catch you having far too much fun?
    Come with me, when they see us, they'll run
    Something wicked this way comes

    Good thing I like my friends cancelled
    I like 'em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal
    Like my whiskey sour
    And poison thorny flowers
    Welcome to my underworld
    Where it gets quite dark
    At least you know exactly who your friends are
    They're the ones with matching scars

    It's easy to love you when you're popular
    The optics click, everyone prospers
    But one single drop, you're off the roster
    "Tone deaf and hot, let's fuckin' off her"

    Did you make a joke only a man could?
    Were you just too smug for your own good?
    Or bring a tiny violin to a knife fight?
    Baby, that all ends tonight

    Good thing I like my friends cancelled (cancelled)
    I like 'em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal (yeah)
    Like my whiskey sour
    And poison thorny flowers
    (Honey) welcome to my underworld
    It'll break your heart
    At least you know exactly who your friends are
    They're the ones with matching scars

    They stood by me
    Before my exoneration
    They believed I was innocent
    So I'm not here for judgment, no, ooh

    But if you can't be good, then just be better at it
    Everyone's got bodies in the attic
    Or took somebody's man
    We'll take you by the hand
    And soon you'll learn the art of never getting caught

    It's a good thing I like my friends cancelled
    (You know that) I like 'em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal
    I like my whiskey sour
    And poison thorny flowers (ooh)
    Yeah, it's a good thing I like my friends cancelled (cancelled)
    I salute you if you're much too much to handle
    Like my whiskey sour (I like it)
    And poison thorny flowers (I love it)
    Can't you see my infamy loves company?
    Now they've broken you like they've broken me
    But a shattered glass is a lot more sharp
    And now you know exactly who your friends are

    You know who we are
    We're the ones with matching scars Writer/s: Karl Johan Schuster, Karl Martin Sandberg, Taylor Swift
