Lyrics:
I get myself twisted in threads to meet you at The Alcott
I go to the corner in the back where you’d always be
And there you are sitting as usual with your golden notebook
Writing something about someone who used to be me
And the last thing you wanted
Is the first thing I do
I tell you my problems
You tell me the truth
It’s the last thing you wanted
It’s the first thing I do
I tell you that I think I’m falling
Back in love with you
I sit there silently waiting for you to look up
I see you smile when you see it’s me
I had to do something to break into your golden thinking
How many times will I do this and you’ll still believe?
It’s the last thing you wanted
Tell me which side are you on, dear
It’s the first thing you do
Give me some tips to forget you
You tell me your problems
Have I become one of your problems?
And I tell you the truth
Could it be easy this once?
It’s the last thing you wanted
Everything that’s mine is a landmine
It’s the first thing I do
Did my love aid and abet you?
I tell you that I think I’m falling
Back in love with you
And I’ll ruin it all over
I’ll ruin it for you
I’ll ruin it all over
And over, like I always do
Why don’t you
I’ll ruin it all over
Rain on my parade
I’ll ruin it for you
Shred my evening gown
I’ll ruin it all over
Read my sentence out loud
And over, like I always do
Cuz I love this curse on our house
It’s the last thing I wanted
Tell me which side are you on, dear
It’s the first thing I do
Give me some tips to forget you
I tell you my problems
Have I become one of your problems?
And you tell me the truth
It’s the last thing I wanted
Everything that’s mine is a landmine
It’s the first thing I do
Did my love aid and abet you?
I tell you that I think I’m falling
Back in love
Back in love
Back in love with you
Back in love with you

It's painful how unaware so much of her fanbase is to matty and their history or his influence. It's a bit criminal given what a love story it is once you can get passed the lies in the tabloids. I feel if she wanted to get over it and move on she wouldn't dedicate a full album and tour performance as well as years of songs written back and forth to each other
Fkn Wow ❤
Beautiful
This is gods work ❤ it’s so beautiful
Love this song.
Ok, after listening to TTPD, The Alcott definitely'S giving Taylor and Joe vibes
Heartfelt in an insane world.
Don't leave any sharp objects around when you listen to this for the first (or thousandth) time. It can cause serious suicidal thoughts and actions!!😊
wow
Oh wow… Sitting at work listening to this and I have to hold back my tears!!! What a song!!!!❤❤❤
Huge admiration with a slight envy to collaborations which fits together so well and transcends basic human language. 💫
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS WHATTT

You're so close to moving on then you hear this song one night after talking to a guy who felt like him and now you just hope you'll forget till morning or maybe you don't cause it hurts so good.
