Music & Me

Okay, so most of you already know that I love music. I find it a lot like poetry and often the lyrics of songs speak to me so from time to time I'm going to share lyrics that I really like and my thoughts on them. This is a new song just hitting the airwaves but the first time I heard it - like a few others it stopped me in my tracks. I relate music to people or times in my life and this song just yelled and got my attention so I wanted to share...if anyone is out there reading :)


White Horse
Taylor Swift from the album Fearless

Say your sorry
That face of an angel comes out
Just when you need it to.
As I pace back and forth
All this time cause
I honestly believed in you.
Holdin' on
The days drag on
Stupid girl I should have known, I should have known.

That I'm not a princess.
This ain't a fairytale.
I'm not the one you sweep off her feet,
Lead her up the stairwell.
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town.
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down.
Now it's to late for you and your white horse to come around.

Maybe I was naÎve, got lost in your eyes,
and never really had a chance.
my mistake, I didn't know to be in love
you had to fight to have the upper hand
I had so many dreams about you and me.
Happy endings, well now I know...

That I'm not a princess.
This ain't a fairytale.
I'm not the one you sweep off her feet,
lead her up the stairwell.
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town.
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down.
Now its too late for you and your white horse to come around.

And there you are on your knees.
Begging for forgiveness, begging for me.
Just like I always wanted but, I'm so sorry.

Cause I'm not your princess.
This ain't a fairytale.
I'm gonna find someone some day, who might actually treat me well.
This is a big world.
That was a small town, there in my rearview mirror disappearing now.
And it's too late for you and your white horse...
Its too late for you and your white horse to
catch me now.

Oh, Oh,Oh,
Try and catch me now ohh
Its too late
To catch me now

I think we've all had someone or something that we can equate this song to. Although I had a conversation about this song and was told it had a "female" slant to it, I think it is okay for men who find shitty women in their lives to feel this way too. I don't think it has to be male or female for you to relate to just having enough and being fed up with people treating you that way. There are so many that want to just swoop in and think that saying "I'm sorry" or "I didn't meant it" and that will be enough. It doesn't even have to be someone you are in a romantic relationship with - it can be a friend or family member. I don't think it is a bitter angry woman....I think it is a person saying screw you I deserve better and learning to love themselves and demand more from those around them. What do you think?
