So Long, London

Started as London boy Ended as So long, London

I am littery crying "you swore that you loved me, but where were the clues, I died on an alter waiting for proof."

After this song an ad came up saying “WELCOME TO THE ERAS TOUR” so aggressively and it scared the shit out of me 💀

"My face was gray but you wouldn´t admit that we were sick" >>> "And I'm just getting color back into my face"

LYRICS: So (So) long (Long), London (London) So (So) long (Long), London (London) So (So) long (Long), London (London)... I saw in my mind fairy lights through the mist I kept calm and carried the weight of the rift Pulled him in tighter each time he was drifting away My spine split from carrying us up the hill Wet through my clothes, weary bones caught the chill I stopped trying to make him laugh, stopped trying to drill the safe Thinking how much sad did you think I had, did you think I had in me? Oh the tragedy. So Long, London You’ll find someone I didn’t opt in to be your odd man out I founded the club she’s heard great things about I left all I knew you left me at the house by the Heath I stopped CPR, after all it’s no use The spirit was gone we would never come to And I’m pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free For so Long, London Stitches undone Two graves, one gun I’ll find someone And you say I abandoned the ship but I was going down with it My white knuckle dying grip holding tight to your quiet resentment And my friends said it isn’t right to be scared Every day old love affair, every breath feels like rarest air When you’re not sure if he wants to be there So how much sad did you think I had, did you think I had in me? How much tragedy? Just how low did you think I’d go ‘fore I’d self implode? ‘Fore I’d have to go be free? You swore that you loved me but where were the clues? I died on the altar waiting for the proof You sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days And I’m just getting colour back into my face I’m just mad as hell cause I loved this place for So Long, London Had a good run A moment of warm sun But I’m not the one For so Long, London Stitches undone Two graves, one gun You’ll find someone

"I stopped trying to make him laugh" just reminds me of "please don't ever become a stranger who's laugh I could recognise anywhere"

"And you say I abandoned the ship But I was going down with it"... I'm crying.

The best and most relatable part of these lyrics is her saying “we had a good run”. Everything she wrote is true to her and her perspective, but a mature person in a long respectable relationship understands that people can evolve in different directions without anyone being a villain. Yes, it’s painful and raw, but it’s fair to say both parts were loved, were committed, felt hurt, and everything in between. She didn’t give anything to him for free, he was also there, they gave themselves to each other and I’m sure it was beautiful for them. And then it stops working and that’s okay. This is a very mature song but fans really are after gossip.

the first part sounding like the choir chanting during a wedding—or maybe a funeral. this is beautiful. the death of a supposed-to-be event.

"you swore that you loved me but where were the clues?" I'm crying please

This album is like if midnights and folklore had a baby

I HEREBY DECLARE MYSELF A MEMBER OF THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH TAYLOR

A moment of silence for final goodbye to our beloved London boy. So Long, London.

"I'm pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free." 😭 😭 😭

"you swore that you loved me, but where were the clues, I died on an alter waiting for proof." I AM IN TEARS

OMG THE INTRO

I can't find a pulse, my heart won't start anymore 💔

"I Cant find a pulse.. my heart wont start anymore" ... "I STOPPED CPR AFTER ALL ITS NO USE"

Started as London boy, ended as So Long, London 😭😭

After London Boy being such a happy song, it makes sense for this to be a slow and sad song
