The Black Dog
Taylor Swift Song Lyrics

Artist: Taylor Swift
Album: THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT (2024)

I am someone who, until recent events
You shared your secrets with
And your location
You forgot to turn it off
And so I watch as you walk
Into some bar called the black dog
And pierce new holes in my heart
You forgot to turn it off
And it hits me
I just don't understand.

How you don't miss me
In the black dog
When someone plays 'the starting line' and you jump up
But she's too young to know this song
That was intertwined in the magic fabric of our dreaming
Old habits die screaming.

I move through the world with the heartbroken
My longings stay unspoken
And I may never open up the way I did for you
And all of those best laid plans
You said I needed a brave man
Then proceeded to play him
Until I believed it too
And it kills me
I just don't understand.

How you don't miss me
In the shower
And remember
How my rain-soaked body was shaking
Do you hate me?
Was it hazing?
For a cruel fraternity I pledged
And I still mean it
Old habits die screaming.

Six weeks of breathing clean air
I still miss the smoke
Were you making fun of me with some esoteric joke?
Now I want to sell my house and set fire to all my clothes
And hire a priest to come and exorcise my demons
Even if I die screaming
And I hope you hear it.

And I hope it's shitty
In the black dog
When someone plays the starting line and you jump up
But she's too young to know this song
That was intertwined in the tragic fabric of our dreaming
'cause tail between your legs you're leaving
And I still can't believe it
'cause old habits die screaming.
