  • You and I walk a fragile line
    I have known it all this time
    But I never thought I'd live to see it break
    It's getting dark and it's all too quiet
    And I can't trust anything now
    And it's comin' over you like it's all a big mistake

    Whoa, holding my breath
    Won't lose you again
    Something's made your eyes go cold

    Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
    I thought I had you figured out
    Something's gone terribly wrong, you're all I wanted
    Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
    I thought I had you figured out
    Can't breathe whenever you're gone
    Can't turn back, now I'm haunted

    Stood there and watched you walk away
    From everything we had
    But I still mean every word I said to you
    He will try to take away my pain
    And he just might make me smile
    But the whole time I'm wishing he was you instead

    Oh, holding my breath
    Won't see you again
    Something keeps me holding on to nothing

    Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
    I thought I had you figured out
    Something's gone terribly wrong, you're all I wanted
    Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
    I thought I had you figured out
    Can't breathe whenever you're gone
    Can't turn back, now I'm haunted

    I know
    I know
    I just know
    You're not gone, you can't be gone
    No

    Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
    I thought I had you figured out
    Something's gone terribly wrong, won't finish what you started
    Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
    I thought I had you figured out
    Can't breathe whenever you're gone
    Can't go back, I'm haunted

    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    You and I walk a fragile line
    I have known it all this time
    Never ever thought I'd see it break
    Never thought I'd see it Writer/s: Taylor Swift

  • Scarlet The SwiftieI love Taylor Swift, even though this song was made a decade ago, I STILL can't get over it, especially her Speak Now album. I hope she rerecords it just like she did with her Fearless album.
  • Bella from Carlisle Whenever i hear this is always make it so dramatic and literally force myself to cry and yeah I'm just so dramatic when i sing this song (lip sync really)
  • Parvin Nina from Selangor, Malaysiathis song has a the perfect tune, and lyrics too. This is what I call perfection. This song explains to us how important it is to have a BFF.
  • Nell from Chatham, NjThis song is so Dramatic: whenever I hear it I think of Padme and Anika.
  • Fabio from New Orleans, LaYES! The emotion! It's perfect with a string section! This is such a passionate song! It's so sad, but so relatable. I'm haunted by the proverbial ghost of my former best friend. It is intense. I can't wait to see it live.
