Taylor Swift – I Bet You Think About Me Lyrics Meaning (From The Vault) – Lyrics Youths

[Verse 1 – Taylor Swift]

3 AM and I’m still awake

I’ll bet you’re just fine

Fast asleep in your city that’s better than mine

And the girl in your bed has a fine pedigree

And I’ll bet your friends tell you

She’s better than me, huh…

[Verse 2 – Taylor Swift]

Well, I tried to fit in with your upper-crust circles

Yeah, they let me sit in back when we were in love

Oh, they sit around talking about the meaning of life

And the book that just saved them

That I hadn’t heard of…

[Chorus – Taylor Swift & Chris Stapleton]

But now that we’re done and it’s over

I bet you couldn’t believe

When you realized I’m harder to forget

Than I was to leave

And I bet you think about me

[Verse 3 – Taylor Swift]

You grew up in a silver-spoon gated community

Glamorous, shiny, bright Beverly Hills

I was raised on a farm, no, it wasn’t a mansion

Just living room dancing and kitchen table bills

[Verse 4 – Taylor Swift & Chris Stapleton]

But you know what they say

You can’t help who you fall for

And you and I fell like an early spring snow

But reality crept in

You said we’re too different

You laughed at my dreams

Rolled your eyes at my jokes

[Chorus – Taylor Swift & Chris Stapleton]

Mr. Superior Thinking

Do you have all the space that you need?

I don’t have to be your shrink to know

That you’ll never be happy

And I bet you think about me

[Post-Chorus – Taylor Swift & Chris Stapleton]

I bet you think about me, yes

I bet you think about me…

[Bridge – Taylor Swift & Chris Stapleton]

Oh, block it all out

The voices so loud, saying

“Why did you let her go?”

Does it make you feel sad

That the love that you’re looking for

Is the love that you had..

[Verse 5 – Taylor Swift]

Now you’re out in the world

Searching for your soul

Scared not to be hip

Scared to get old

Chasing make-believe status

Last time you felt free

Was when none of that shit mattered

Cause you were with me…

[Chorus – Taylor Swift & Chris Stapleton]

But now that we’re done and it’s over

I bet it’s hard to believe

That it turned out I’m harder to forget

Than I was to leave

And, yeah, I bet you think about me…

[Chorus – Taylor Swift & Chris Stapleton]

I bet you think about me, yes

I bet you think about me…

[Outro – Taylor Swift & Chris Stapleton]

I bet you think about me when you’re out

At your cool indie music concerts every week

I bet you think about me in your house

With your organic shoes and your million-dollar couch

I bet you think about me when you say

“Oh my god, she’s insane, she wrote a song about me”

I bet you think about me….
