Lyrics


Taylor Swift @ Back To December

I'm so glad you made time to see me
How's life? Tell me, how's your family?

I haven't seen them in a while



You've been good, busier than ever

We small talk, work and the weather

Your guard is up, and I know why



Because the last time you saw me

Is still burned in the back of your mind

You gave me roses, and I left them there to die



So this is me swallowing my pride

Standing in front of you, saying I'm sorry for that night

And I go back to December all the time



It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you

Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine

I go back to December, turn around and make it alright
I go back to December all the time



These days, I haven't been sleeping

Staying up, playing back myself leaving

When your birthday passed, and I didn't call



Then I think about summer, all the beautiful times

I watched you laughing from the passenger side

And realized I loved you in the fall



And then the cold came, the dark days

When fear crept into my mind

You gave me all your love, and all I gave you was goodbye



So this is me swallowing my pride

Standing in front of you, saying I'm sorry for that night

And I go back to December all the time



It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you

Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine

I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time



I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile

So good to me, so right

And how you held me in your arms that September night
The first time you ever saw me cry



Maybe this is wishful thinking

Probably mindless dreaming

But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right



I'd go back in time and change it, but I can't

So if the chain is on your door, I understand



This is me swallowing my pride

Standing in front of you, saying I'm sorry for that night

And I go back to December



It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you

Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine

I go back to December, turn around and make it alright
I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time, all the time
