The first crack in the glass

Summary:

Original lyrics that are inspired by the scene in the kitchen between Sadie Sink's and Dylan O'Brien's characters (The first crack in the glass) in the masterpiece short film ALL TOO WELL. That was so intense and it almost made me cry so I had to write about it. Thank you for reading 🧣🍂🍁

Notes:

After watching the incredible masterpiece that is ALL TOO WELL the short film twice at 1 a.m. because that's what we international Swifties do, I actually had to stay up until 2 because I could not get that middle scene out of my head, it is so powerful being shot that way and honestly heartbreaking if that dialogue was taken from a real life situation (which I suspect it was). And I had to write this song about it.
No, it's nothing like all too well, nothing could ever be as great as that, but it's also not trying to be. All too well describes an entire relationship looking back on it and this is mostly focused on that one scene and what I imagine that might feel like.
So I hope you like it and please, please, please go check out this incredible short film starring the immensely talented Dylan O'Brien and Sadie Sink, directed by the iconic legend Taylor Swift if you haven't yet.
And also, RED (Taylor's Version) is out now 🍁🍂🧣

Work Text:

Your arms around me, your chest to my back
It doesn't feel like it once did
I'm crying and I know why but you don't
You don't understand what I'm not saying

All the things I'm not saying so I can keep you
So I can keep this feeling of loving you
And all the moments that I'm asking myself if it's real
Convincing me it's the way you feel too
Make me feel it's worth all the moments I knew
That we wouldn't last but I'd never admit to that

You say don't look at me like that
Like I'm making up things to start this argument
Nothing I feel is valid
So I hide my mouth in the crook of your neck and I'm not saying

All the things I'm not saying so I can keep you
So I can keep this feeling of loving you
And all the moments that I'm asking myself if it's real
Convincing me it's the way you feel too
Make me feel it's worth all the moments I knew
That we wouldn't last but I'd never admit to that

Trying so hard to fight for this
But how can I when you've already blown it apart
How to hold on to broken shards of glass
I was bleeding for months and you never, never saw
You only wanted this as long as it was bliss
It was real but you didn't notice

Your hand slipping from mine, the end of the endless fight
I lost what was never mine
Words were never enough to convince you it was love
