In the lyric book for Taylor's Speak Now album, she says "These songs are made up of words I didn't say when the moment was right in front of me. These songs are open letters. Each is written with a specific person in mind, telling them what I meant to tell them in person."
So I decided to listen to all the songs multiple times and then try to figure out which song was connected to which person Taylor described. Some were pretty easy but others were 更多 difficult. Here's what I eventually came up with:
The beautiful boy whose 心 she broke in December=Back to December
Obviously. The key word is December and this is the only song where she's apologizing to the guy.
Her first 爱情 who she never thought would be her first heartbreak=Last Kiss
This was one of the harder ones but I decided it was the right one because the song implies that the relationship was going great and the breakup took her completely 由 surprise. Just like the above description.
Her band=Long Live
She and her band have been through so much together, just like the best 老友记 in the song.
A mean man she used to be afraid of=Mean
Another easy one. The key word is mean. In the song, she says how one 日 she'll grow strong enough to not let herself be hurt 由 him anymore. And judging 由 the above description, it looks like she did.
Someone who made her world very dark for a while=Dear John
Another slightly harder one. I decided on this one because it explains how he was treating her badly for a long time before she got out of the relationship.
A girl who 偷了 something of hers=Better Than Revenge
This song describes how Taylor was totally in love, but the guy chose another girl instead of her. This one was easy because it was the only song with a dramatic 爱情 triangle.
Someone she forgives for what he 说 in front of the whole world=Innocent
Yet another easy one. It explains how the guy did something really bad to her, but she's willing to let it go.
Now, I don't know about 你 guys, but I am really glad she didn't say these things to all those people at the time, because if she did we wouldn't have all these awesome songs.
