Nothing New Song Lyrics by Taylor Swift
They tell you while you’re young“Girls, go out and have your fun”Then they hunt and slay the ones who actually do itCriticize the way you fly when you’re soarin’ through the skyShoots you down and then they sigh, and say“She looks like she’s been through it”
Lord, what will become of meOnce I’ve lost my novelty?
I’ve had too much to drink tonightAnd I know it’s sad, but this is what I think aboutAnd I wake up in the middle of the nightIt’s like I can feel time movingHow can a person know everything at 18 but nothing at 22?And will you still want me when I’m nothing new?
How long will it be cuteAll this crying in my roomWhеn you can’t blame it on my youthAnd roll your eyes with affеction?
And my cheeks are growing tiredFrom turning red and faking smilesAre we only biding time ’til I lose your attention?And someone else lights up the room?People love an ingénue
I’ve had (I’ve had) too much to drink tonightHow did I go from growing up to breaking down?And I wake up (wake up) in the middle of the nightIt’s like I can feel time movingHow can a person know everything at 18 but nothing at 22?Will you still want me when I’m nothing new?
I know someday I’m gonna meet her, it’s a fever dreamThe kind of radiance you only have at 17She’ll know the way, and then she’ll say she got the map from meI’ll say I’m happy for her, then I’ll cry myself to sleepOh, whoa, whoaOh, whoa, whoa, oh, whoa, oh
I’ve had (I’ve had) too much to drink tonightBut I wonder if they’ll miss me once they drive me outI wake up (wake up) in the middle of the nightAnd I can feel time movingHow can a person know everything at 18 but nothing at 22?
And will you still want meWill you still want meWill you still want meWhen I’m nothing new?
