Wish I had concentrated,
They said love was complicated,
But it's something I just fell into.
And it was overrated,
But just look what I created,
I came out alive, but I'm black and blue.
Before you ask me if I'm alright,
Think about what I,
Had to do, yeah

Wake up and smell the break up,
Fix my heart, put on my make-up,
Another mess I didn't plan.
And I'll bet you thought you beat me,
Wish you could only see,
I got an "I Heart ?"
Written on the back of my hand!

I'd be fine if you'd just walked by,
But you had to talk about why
You were wrong and I was right.
But I can't believe you made me,
Sit at home and cry like a baby,
Wait right by the phone every night.
And now you ask about you and I,
There's no you and I,
Remember what you put me through,
I had to

Wake up and smell the break up,
Fix my heart, put on my make-up,
Another mess I didn't plan.
And I'll bet you thought you beat me,
Wish you could only see
I got an "I Heart ?"
Written on the back of my hand!

And when you're home all alone at night,
You'll still wonder why
You took everything I had, oh baby.
I haven't thought about you and I,
There's no you and I, and I know
Someday you will

Wake up and smell the break up,
Realize that we won't make up,
It didn't go the way you planned.
And you'll know you didn't beat me
When you look down and see
I got an "I Heart ?"
Written on the back of my hand!

Written on the back of my hand!
An "I Heart ?", yeah.
Written on the back of my hand!

    General Comment:She didn't want to realize that it was over, until she finally woke up. He keeps tryin to rub it in her face, but she knows better. She knows that he's just a fool, a bully. She just regrets crying over him, and can't believe that he actually wants her back. He won't get that lucky. She knows that in breakups, the guys never win.

    my favorite line " I came out alive, but baby I'm black and blue."
    She sings it so BEAUTIFULLY(:

    General Comment:I really like this song.
    I don't like taylors voice in it as mucha as her other song's.
    But her voice will always sound amazing regaurdless. :D

    And this song is pretty self exsplainitory.
    The boy broke up with her, and he was exspecting her too be crushed, and when he found out she wasn't he felt compleatly different. Typical male. (:
