  • I can see you standin', honey
    With his arms around your body
    Laughin' but the joke's not funny at all
    And it took you five whole minutes
    To pack us up and leave me with it
    Holdin' all this love out here in the hall

    I think I've seen this film before
    And I didn't like the ending
    You're not my homeland anymore
    So what am I defendin' now?
    You were my town
    Now I'm in exile seein' you out
    I think I've seen this film before

    Hoo, hoo-ooh
    Hoo, hoo-ooh
    Hoo, hoo-ooh

    I can see you starin', honey
    Like he's just your understudy
    Like you'd get your knuckles bloody for me
    Second, third, and hundredth chances
    Balancin' on breaking branches
    Those eyes add insult to injury

    I think I've seen this film before
    And I didn't like the ending
    I'm not your problem anymore
    So who am I offending now?
    You were my crown
    Now I'm in exile seein' you out
    I think I've seen this film before
    So I'm leavin' out the side door

    So step right out
    There is no amount
    Of cryin' I can do for you

    All this time
    We always walked a very thin line
    You didn't even hear me out
    You never gave a warning sign

    All this time
    I never learned to read your mind (never learned to read my mind)
    I couldn't turn things around (you never turned things around)
    'Cause you never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)
    So many signs
    So many signs (you didn't even see the signs)

    I think I've seen this film before
    And I didn't like the ending
    You're not my homeland anymore
    So what am I defending now?
    You were my town
    Now I'm in exile seein' you out
    I think I've seen this film before
    So I'm leaving out the side door

    So step right out
    There is no amount
    Of cryin' I can do for you

    All this time
    We always walked a very thin line
    You didn't even hear me out (didn't even hear me out)
    You never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)

    All this time
    I never learned to read your mind (never learned to read my mind)
    I couldn't turn things around (you never turned things around)
    'Cause you never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)

    All this time (so many signs)
    So many signs Writer/s: Justin Deyarmond Edison Vernon, Taylor A. Swift, William Bowery
