[Taylor Swift - ​l​ong story short lyrics]

Fatefully i tried to pick my battles
'til the battle picked me misery
Like the war of words I shouted in my sleep
And you passed right by
I was in the alley, surrounded on all sides
The knife cuts both ways if the shoe fit's
Walk in it 'til your high heels break

And I fell from the pedestal
Right down the rabbit hole
Long story short, it was a bad time
Pushed from the precipice
Clung to the nearest lips
Long story short, it was the wrong guy

Now I'm all about you i'm all about you, ah
Yeah, yeah i'm all about you, ah
Yeah, yeah

Actually i always felt I must look
Better in the rear view missing me
At the golden gates they once
Held the keys to when I dropped my sword
I threw it in the bushes
And knocked on your door
And we live in peace
But if someone comes at us, this time
I'm ready

'Cause I fell from the pedestal
Right down the rabbit hole
Long story short, it was a bad time
Pushed from the precipice
Clung to the nearest lips
Long story short, it was the wrong guy

Now I'm all about you i'm all about you, ah
Yeah, yeah i'm all about you

No more keepin' score
Now I just keep you warm (Keep you warm)
No more tug of war
Now I just know there's more
(Know there's more) no more keepin' score
Now I just keep you warm (Keep you warm)
And my waves meet your shore
Ever and evermore

Past me i wanna tell you not to get
Lost in these petty things your nemeses
Will defeat themselves before you get
The chance to swing and he's passing by
Rare as the glimmer of a comet in the sky
And he feels like home if the shoe fit's
Walk in it everywhere you go

And I fell from the pedestal
Right down the rabbit hole
Long story short, it was a bad time
Pushed from the precipice
Climbed right back up the cliff
Long story short, I survived

Now I'm all about you
(And now) I'm all about you, ah
(And now) I'm all about you
(And now) I'm all about you, ah yeah, yeah
I'm all about you (And now) yeah, yeah
I'm all about you

Long story short, it was a bad time
Long story short, I survived
