Official ‘Death By A Thousand Cuts’ Lyrics
Written by Taylor Swift & Jack Antonoff
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
Flashbacks waking me up
I get drunk but it’s not enough ‘cause
The morning comes and
You’re not my baby
I look through the windows of this love
Even though we boarded them up
Chandelier’s still flickering here
‘Cause I can’t pretend it’s ok when it’s not
It’s death by a thousand cuts I dress to kill my time
I take the long way home
I ask the traffic lights if it’ll be all right
They say ‘I don’t know’
And what once was ours
Is no one’s now
I see you everywhere
The only thing we share
is this small town
You said it was a great love
One for the ages
If the story’s over
Why am I still writing pages? Chorus My heart, my hips, my body, my love
Trying to find a part of me that you didn’t touch
Gave up on me like I was a bad drug
Now I’m searching for signs in a haunted club
Our songs, our films, United we stand
Our country
Guess it was a lawless land
Quiet my fears with the touch of your hand
Paper cut stings from our paper thin plans
My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust
Trying to find a part of me you didn’t take up
Gave you too much but it wasn’t enough
But I’ll be all right
It’s just a thousand cuts I get drunk but it’s not enough ‘cause
You’re not my baby
I look through the windows of this love
Even though we boarded them up
Chandelier’s still flickering here
‘Cause I can’t pretend it’s ok when it’s not
No it’s not
It’s death by a thousand cuts
Trying to find a part of me that you didn’t touch
My body, my love
But it wasn’t enough, it wasn’t enough, no, no I take the long way home
I ask the traffic lights if it’ll be all right
They say ‘I don’t know’

“If the stories over, why am I still writing pages?”
Man, this hits hard
How thort that at first you many a man said that
Hi there I’m doing some yt covers if u have time u can check them ty
I'd like to interpret it a the state or stage of breakup in which you already ended but you still feel lonely because of that person and carry him in everything that you do rather that forgetting him like how you do with a book that already ended instead of writing more parts which will never be read by anyone specially that person as it has no place anymore.
Hi if you are reading this have a lovely day I made a cover of you need to calm down please check it out 💞💜❤️🙏
Tiger T she’s such a great writer
I think we can all agree that Taylor shines the most when its just her, her guitar, and her beautiful acoustic voice.
Pity about the thousand other people singing.
@@kettle2293 Yeah lol
I've always loved Taylor when it's just her and her guitar.
@@sierrawaters1583 agreed!
I think we all agree she is an over rated sell out
“If the stories over, why am I still writing pages?”
"You're not my homeland anymore. So what am I defending now?"
Omo
“If the stories over, why am I still writing pages?”
"You're not my homeland anymore. So what am I defending now?"
"We were a fresh page, on the desk, filling in the blanks as we go"
The way she lyrically weaves her stories & eras together is the literal definition of magic.
i shouldn't have gotten the lyric references..
"I was dancing when the music stop"
"I'm not your problem anymore. So who am I offending NOW?" Pure beautiful genius. She can sum up an entire love affair in a 3 min song that can be performed in multiple ways and somehow every time you hear it even if it's the 30 millionth time you've listened.... it's your new favorite song. 1 of a kind Ladies and Gentlemen...Bravo, Tay Tay.
Her lyrics. Wow. You can say whatever you want about her. But she is truly an amazing songwriter. When I listen to her music I can picture the story in my head. Not many artists can do this to me. She is one of a kind.
That's called storytelling, it's her "special thing" as she likes to call it, we call it art because she writes as poetry
TOTALLY AGREE AS AN ARTIST MYSELF FROM FRANCE AND MOROCCO!! I WOULD LOVE AND PROUD TO SING WITH HER...;)...WHY NOT ONE DAY ...;)
she's incredibly intelligent. people if they knew how smart she is, it would scare them.
Right back at you
Everybody writes ridiculous comments like she is amazing, but you wrote truly how and why she is amazing
:D
This song is basically the defenition of : I'm fine
And that’s a fact
Facts
realty "just pretending about the situation"
"I might be okay but I'm not fine at all"
Te volteas y a llorar :(
“he said it was a great love, one for the ages. but if the story is over, why am i still writing pages?” is the best lyric on the entire album, change my mind
Agree agree agreeee with ya!
I read this just as she began singing it 🥺
@@kobyprintup467 sameeee
And the fact that it is based on a movie.
I thought it was ‘you said it was a great love’
00:50 Americans are so lucky traffic lights in my country don't even talk
Same
ikrr
You know it is figuratively. Noone has them.
*just kidding*
@@jollyjokress3852 you had us in the first half not gonna lie
In India we just have them for show
this song was written based off of a movie and it turned out so perfect and relatable yet there are still people who doubt her songwriting and coming for her saying she needs men to write a song. she can literally write a song about anything.
This song could also relate to breaking a bad habit.
what movie, tho?
@@dindaseptiara5393 Something Great
Folklore is proof of it :)
@@siddzk6522 its Someone Great
All rise for the song that has the best bridge in the album.
PERIODT
YEAH!!! OMG😩😩❤❤
PREACH!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Is this ta ta
AYEEEE
“Paper cut stings from our paper thin plans” Taylor is a lyric queen
It's paper cut stings*, but honestly, my favourite lyric too
this is 2020's tagline :)) :((
or her management
@@DragonTrades1887 bruh. you literally didn't know or hear her self written album and her masterpiece All Too Well
"...chandelier still flickering here..." Damn right, Delia!
Taylor Swift + Any guitar= Magic...
True i love all her acoustic, i feel like the live is even better than the studio version:)
"I asked the traffic lights if it'll be alright, they say I don't know."
Traffic Lights was invented on 1923.
It tells the car drivers on how they should move according to it's color coding.
Green = Go
Yellow = Slowdown
Red = Stop
The song is about being stucked from letting go and holding on.
In this line, she decided to depend her answer to whatever color the Traffic Light would give.
If it's Green, she'll completely let him go
If it's Yellow, she'll have to move on slowly
If it's Red, she should stop thinking about him.
If Traffic Lights aren't working properly, it'll lead to Car Accidents
In the song, even the traffic lights didn't know what to say.
So she ended up crashing like cars, and torn from a thousand cuts.
I didn't ask for this, but i wanted it.
Wow! It's deep 😢
and the traffic light sequence resembles an onomatopoeic rhythm in “i. don’t. know.” she really is something else 🥺❤
I love this comment
Omg that's mind blowing
Taylor + guitar = everything for me
I wrote exctaly theses words in my diary last week
Well same boat. Dnt have access to those 😒
I made a you need to calm down cover please check it out 💞💜❤️have a nice day 👍🏻😊
Y E S
Yeah! 👍
This is art. This deserves to be single
Yes, maam!
That might be the most successful single yet from LOVER!
Why you thought she is always single?
Yes. It has all the potential
@@dynamic_astaya lol I think u are not able to understand she/he is saying that this song deserves to be a single...
@Rahul Astaya bruh
the way she sings the bridge, you can just tell she means every single one of the lyrics. she’s amazing.
OH MY GAWD!! SHE’s SO DEEP AND SUBSTANTIAL AND ….. nauseatingly sucky.
My favorite part of this song. The version is so much better than the album
*Still waiting for Miss Americana And The Heartbreak Prince's live*
Me too
... Cruel Summer and afterglow too!
Aftergloww
Guess
@@tahirarahman4491 those two are literally my favorite. still waiting.
BEST. SONG. ON. THE. ALBUM.
AGREED
I AGREEEEEE
AMEN
Cornelia street?
also cornelia street
The bridge is everything, gets me up and down every time.
And to think some people say she can't sing. She sounds better live than on album!
she crushed this performance!!
Couldn't agree more😍
Who says that? She literally nails every live performance
WE NEED AN ACOUSTIC VERSION OF THIS WHOLE ALBUM
!!!
Asap
Imagine having just a small fraction of her talent and charisma.
Felicity Smoak AND HER BRAINS
I CAN'T! *AAAAAAAAAA* !!!!!
MY IMAGINATION WASN'T MADE 4 SOMETHIN LIKE THIS! AAAAAAAAA. SOME1 PLZ TELL ME 2 CALM DOWN (yes, pun intended, have a nice time cringing 2 me lol)
Can't relate 😭
People: nobody's perfect
Taylor Swift: *exists*
Swifties: There's one
🙄😊
🖤❣️
I made a you need to calm down cover please check it out 💞💜❤️have a nice day 👍🏻😊🎁🎶💞💛
Not really (◐‿◑)
periodt.
I’m a big fan of Taylor Swift and she’s the best singer . Her songs are so powerful and she inspired me to be a songwriter.
If you have time please do watch Stray kid's (kpop group) new song God's menu. Thank you :)
same
Just Me¬^¬ hi 👋
Why is no one talking about how she accidentally sang "trying to try a part of me" instead of "trying to find" and then you can hear her smiling she is so damn cute 😭💜
Ikr I noticed it too
I was looking for this comment haha
@@adamtaylorlee me too haha she still is amazing
Kept repeating that part thought it was me lol
This is my favorite version of this song
I Swear!
Kirrcat 07 AGREED
Are there any other versions of this song or you are talking between the original and this acoustic one?
So glad she’s releasing these 😌
Sammm Da Man me too me too 😭
K. Paul yesss
Her breath control is crazy. This live performance is everything! ✨💗
Tay: will it be alright? Traffic lights: idk 😞
The title just really hit me close to home
Same here
"But i'll be alright it's just a thousand cuts" yeah this part hits hard for me
I think this is her best song.
Lyrics, composition, music everything is perfection.
This is our Lover version of “all too well”!!!! 💘💘💘💘
2:05 I'm obsessed with the way she says "paper cut stings"
“...From our paper thin plans”. It’s a powerful line.
and the escalating thing she does with the guitar at that moment!!!!
When you’re so early there is nothing fun to read in the comment section: 👁👄👁
I feel you girl
True
👁👄👁
Hi if you are reading this have a lovely day I made a cover of you need to calm down please check it out 💞💜❤️🙏
💞💛
Hahahaha
This song makes me think of my middle daughter so much. She us such a lover. She also sang a Taylor Swift sing at our wedding, "Ours" (?) and made a lot of the grown ups there cry. I love this young lady!
The way she sings it live is even better than the recorded version (if it's even possible). I love how her voice always tells the story with so much emotion.. Makes you sing the bridge like you went through the hardest break up in your own life.. THE TALENT!
"I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
They say, "I don't know" "
ICONIC!!!!!!!
Love this metaphor ...
can you explain it to me?:(
It’s garbage and cliche’
@@julyrosales320 it shows that how lonely she is
That's why she is talking to something that won't reply. 😊
@@julyrosales320 traffic lights has 3 signs it's slow down, stop and go. She ask for a sign on how her relationship with Joe if she would go for it or slow down or stop. That's why she use this metaphor to visualise.😘
I'm jealous of everyone who got to listen to this live.... I'll surely one day make it to a live concert of yours, Taylor! You're the best, and I sooo LOVE YOU!❤❤❤❤❤
Indians swifties feel ya babe 😔
Esta es indispensable para la despensa.
You are always welcome

This is actually my fav song in the album. Lyrically and the whole song.
I just want to hug her. Every time I watch her videos I shout “SHE IS SO PRETTY” it’s basicly my dream to talk to her
Wow
💘
He gave her a paper ring when they were in love and now it's over and she's left with paper cut stings from their paper thin plans🥺😭💙💜 Taylor is a master at what she she does and I love how she ties her songs together like neat little gifts for us, absolutely brilliant
The best virtual concert, the only one I can attend😞😭💓
Same 😄💕
Sadly International fans cant even attend this one 😭
@@taptaptaps issa struggle,,,

lowkey nothing compares to pewdiepie views. not trying to sound like a fanboy or anything.
@@heyjeremiahwhite. Me! Has vevo records...Pews doesn't
@Joshua Chhakchhuak fax
I feel so bad for the future generations for not experiencing the magic of being alive the same time as Taylor Swift or going to any of her concerts! Damn when elders nowadays say that the 70’s and 80’s were like the best eras in music and whatsoever I’m like yeah right CHILL.. But now I imagine myself having a conversation with my future grandkids abt how the the eras and the decades that Taylor Swift was alive in are the best music eras that the world had ever witnessed! Definitely one of the things that I’m most grateful for in life is being alive the same time as Taylor Swift! ✨❤️
EDIT: Thank you guys for all the likes!! 😍 I’m really glad that so many of you related to what I said ❤️✨
so true
There are incredible songwriters in every decade. Sometimes it's fun to listen to a ton of older music, see what stuff you missed out on.🤣 It's amazing how much has changed, and how much has stayed the same.
That it’s hard! Love swifties and Taylor
Don`t forget the 90s, it was like magic to grow up with hip hop!
can't go to her concerts now....😥😢
mood: *‘Cause I can’t pretend it’s ok when it’s not*
2:51 The way Taylor sang ♪my body, my love, my trust♪ 😭💓💕💖
Most underrated song in Lover. PERIODT
Definitely one of the best songs on the album if not the best. It kinda reminds me of all too well
@@ramlahabdulahi3773 ITS THE BEST SONG EVER, HUNYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!
u saying this when daylight literally exists
@@daniyaparvez502 exactly xD
This song is amazing but def not underrated
Daylight is the most underrated
@Alexandra Cryan Cruel summer is most overrated from this album but it is an amazing song. I don't think "I think he knows" gets the love it deserves.
waitin for Cruel Summer 😓
Daha cok bekleriz
Bu konserde söylemedi cruel summer'ı maalesef
This song is a lyrical masterpiece. Hands down.
I ask the traffic lights if it I'll be alright, they say: "I don't know".
That lyric is art💛
What is happening!? I'm, like, the happiest person alive right now! AAHHHH I NEED 2 CALM DOWN
She uploaded it ♥️
most underrated song on the album
ikr, and the one with the best lyrics from the whole album (the bridge) it's a masterpiece. 😍😍😍💗
Erick Miranda true
True
great song but not the most underrated when afterglow is there
AND IDK WHYYYY
IS ANYBODY SEEING THE THUMBNAIL LIKE WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT IT
I saw that too, every live from Paris video has the same thumbnail
ALL OF THEMMM
@@shagunsharma2387 it's a reminder to check out her newest album, folklore. That's right, we got two Swift albums in under a year!
@@deltab9768 now we have 3 albums in one and a half years
RIGHT... IT IS SUCH A SERVE :")
I really love how much influence she has over her fans...listened it a thousand times but still cannot resist coming back again and again!!!
A SAD DAY FOR INTERNATIONAL SWIFTIES WHO DOESNT HAVE ACCESS TO HULU OR DISNEY+
EDIT: It is a regional thing 😔
:(
Spotify!
Trueeee :(((( i am sad too :(((
What's in Disney+?
@@inklion7359 Wym lol
I just finished watching her concert on Disney + and she Sang so beautifully and was so well spoken ( she mentioned something about how when she is songwriting , she sees songs as memories which she looks back at like nostalgic photographs so she gets transported back to that moment she’s thinking of) and I love the fact that she explored singing some of her songs acoustically , not only did it express what a talented artist she is, but also developed a deeper connected with the audience and herself. She truly is phenomenal. And I hope she sings more acoustic songs in the future , in my opinion, I just “hear” what her message is more and just connect with song and she totally slayed it like she always does !
Glad you see.
Same here! It’s was soooo beautiful!! ❤️
If only her concert on Disney was more that 45 minutes 😔
her concert is on disneyplus?
I cant it on disney plus
Her voice is truly healing for me. The only thing takes my mind off from my pain is Taylor. I lost my dad , my mom , my fav uncle and my home caretaker who was very dear to me in a short span and her music is really healing for me ❤️❤️
I hope you are doing well..
@@karenopet1223 Yes I am doing well now. Thank you for checking :)
2:08 THAT PART!!!!!!!!!!! The best in the whole performance🥰
This version is now gonna be the new superior version.
I like her live tracks, especially acoustic, much more than the studio version.
This song hurts even more live 💜
Yess true...
I can't listen to this version without crying. (Especially at 3am)
Even if I am going to be 30 or 40 or older in the future, I'll comeback to this masterpiece. ❤️
Taylor just change my taste of music and with doing that, at the same time, she change the taste I have from the life...
OMG TAYLOR I LOVE YOU🥰😍♥️, JUST WANNA SAY HI FROM PHILIPPINES . 🇵🇭

"Gave you too much but it wasn't enough"
I can relate to it in sooo many way
this is considered as one of the underrated songs in lover but it's my favorite ever since i heard the whole album. this song is ace. i know someone would feel me on this.
This is one of the best songs ever written.
I wasn't a huge fan of this song before, but then I was at Arlington night 2 of the Eras Tour when she played this and now I am OBSESSED. This version is WAY better than the album version. I wish I had enjoyed it before so I could've sung that amazing bridge TWICE with her, but I guess I can say Taylor herself inadvertently introduced me to this song, so that's cool lol
the retroactive Eras tour fomo...
Taylor Swift's lyrics are like no one else's. Love her so much .
Simply beautiful. This album is my favourite from Taylor. Anyone else?
Lover is a beautiful album but have you heard speak now, red, 1989 and reputation? it's really hard to pick.
mine is lover too
Red is my fav
Omg Sammee
This is the best song on the album without a doubt and the line “if the story is over? Why am I still writing pages?” Literal chills
That line about asking the traffic lights and they not knowing is so absurd and yet so true. Amazing, amazing songwriting there.
I didn't think I could love this album any more but well done Taylor, you've achieved that 😍! The acoustic set up shows off her voice so well 💜💜💜
"Gave you so much but it wasn't enough, but I'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts".
not sad or heart broken I just really felt these words, right here in my heart ❤️

hearing the audience sing with her makes my heart go ✨
This is a lyrical masterpiece !!! Everything is perfect the lines, her voice, the music.... Acoustic and Taylor are a great combo !!!! ♥♥♥
Anyone else noticed that the chord progressions in this song is so similar to Betty
UWUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!! YEEEEEEZZSSSS!!!!!!
Yeees at 0:13 you expect her to say "Betty I won't make assumptions about why you switched your homeroom but I think it's cause of me"
I was going to spill that than u did it ,anyways cos I use to play it too on my guitor
“I can’t pretend it’s okay when it’s not.” My heaven is Taylor singing her discography over and over.
she’s so talented🥺
Taylor dropping these live versions is giving me life during this quarantine
Can we talk about how all her songs r soo catchy I can't get them out of my head 💞she's a queen .

It's a cruel summer but atleast we have taylor swift city of love💖
I love how this was an only TS fans event so we didn’t have to watch the painfully unenthusiastic locals.Instead we got Swifties who were screaming the lyrics back to her.
i’m crying in the back of a car, passing night light streets..this song has a special place in my heart
“Gave you too much but it wasn’t enough” this whole song hits hard and it’s perfect.
