Blank Space Lyrics

Nice to meet you, where you been?
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
Saw you there and I thought
Oh my God, look at that face
You look like my next mistake
Love's a game, wanna play? Ayy
New money, suit and tie
I can read you like a magazine
Ain't it funny, rumors fly
And I know you heard about me
So hey, let's be friends
I'm dyin' to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand
I can make the bad guys good for a weekend

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over, mm
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game
'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless, mm
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name

Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
You're the king, baby, I'm your queen
Find out what you want
Be that girl for a month
Wait, the worst is yet to come, oh no
Screaming, crying, perfect storms
I can make all the tables turn
Rose garden filled with thorns
Keep you second guessin' like
"Oh my God, who is she?"
I get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back each time you leave
'Cause darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over, mm
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game
'Cause we're young and we're reckless (oh)
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless, mm
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane (insane)
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name

Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn ya
Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn ya

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over (over), mm
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game
'Cause we're young and we're reckless (yeah)
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless, mm
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name

What is the Meaning of Blank Space?

I have heard that Taylor Swift wrote this song as a joke and she really didn't plan on releasing it until someone told her she should. She wrote it about all the gossip magazines spreading rumors on how she's a nightmare to date. She doesn't actually believe she is. Just remember there are two sides to every story and we are just seeing the tabloids side. She might not actually be a nightmare dressed as a daydream.

I love the part of the song where she describes herself as a nightmare dressed like a daydream. She is able to be this amazing perfect woman, but this can only last for a month until the truth about who she really is comes out. I think this describes so many people when they first start dating someone. They put their best foot forward, but when their real insecure self shows up, tables turn and things can get ugly.

Imagine if a girl told you this, what will your first thought be? She clearly doesn't care that the media is trash talking about her and her exes and that they might call her insane. She is perfectly fine with the fact that she will hurt you no matter what happens. Makes you want to think twice before trying to make a move with this type of girl, doesn't it.

Love that pun, even used it a couple of times... Like when hitting on girls? Not the best reaction out of it though... No joke I must say, regardless my bad previous experience it's a lovely line placed here and the most lovely part is how miss Swift performs it..
