Anti-Hero - Taylor Swift
I have this thing where I get older
But just never wiser
Midnights become
my afternoons
When my depression
works the graveyard shift
All of the people
I've ghosted stand
there in the room
I should not be
left to my own devices
They come
with prices and vices
I end up in crisis
(Tale as old as time)
I wake up screaming
from dreaming
One day I'll watch as
you're leaving
'Cause you got tired
of my scheming
(For the last time)
It's me hi
I'm the problem it's me
At teatime everybody agrees
I'll stare directly at the sun
But never in the mirror
It must be exhausting
Always rooting for the anti hero
Sometimes I feel
like everybody is a sexy baby
And I'm a monster on the hill
Too big to hang out
Slowly lurching toward
your favorite city
Pierced through
the heart but never killed
Did you hear my covert narcissism
I disguise as altruism
Like some kind of congressman?
(A tale as old as time)
I wake up screaming
from dreaming
One day I'll watch
as you're leaving
And life will lose all its meaning
(For the last time)
It's me hi
I'm the problem it's me
(I'm the problem it's me)
At teatime everybody agrees
I'll stare directly at the sun
But never in the mirror
It must be exhausting
Always rooting for the anti hero
I have this dream
my daughter in law kills me
For the money
She thinks I left them in the will
The family gathers
around and reads it
And then someone screams out
'She's laughing up at us from hell'
It's me hi
I'm the problem it's me
It's me hi
I'm the problem it's me
It's me hi
Everybody agrees
everybody agrees
It's me hi (Hi)
I'm the problem it's me
(I'm the problem it's me)
At teatime (Teatime)
Everybody agrees (Everybody agrees)
I'll stare directly at the sun
But never in the mirror
It must be exhausting
Always rooting for the anti hero
