The Moment I Knew (Taylor's Version)

1 views

Lyrics

You should've been there
 Should've burst through the door
 With that "Baby, I'm right here, smile"
 And it would've felt like
 A million little shining stars had just aligned
 And I would've been so happy
 ♪
 Christmas lights glisten
 I've got my eye on the door
 Just waiting for you to walk in
 But the time is ticking
 People ask me how I've been
 As I comb back through my memory
 How you said you'd be here
 ♪
 You said you'd be here
 And it was like slow motion
 Standing there in my party dress
 In red lipstick
 With no one to impress
 And they're all laughing
 As I'm looking around the room
 But there was one thing missing
 And that was the moment I knew
 ♪
 And the hours pass by
 Now I just wanna be alone
 But your close friends always seem to know
 When there's something really wrong
 So they follow me down the hall
 And there in the bathroom
 I try not to fall apart
 And the sinking feeling starts
 As I say hopelessly
 "He said he'd be here"
 And it was like slow motion
 Standing there in my party dress
 In red lipstick
 With no one to impress
 And they're all laughing
 And asking me about you
 But there was one thing missing
 And that was the moment I knew
 What do you say, when tears are streaming down your face
 In front of everyone you know?
 And what do you do when the one who means the most to you
 Is the one who didn't show?
 ♪
 You should've been here
 ♪
 And I would've been so happy
 ♪
 And it was like slow motion
 Standing there in my party dress
 In red lipstick
 With no one to impress
 And they're all standing around me singing
 "Happy birthday to you"
 But there was one thing missing
 And that was the moment I knew
 (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) ooh, I knew
 (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
 You called me later
 And said, "I'm sorry, I didn't make it"
 And I said, "I'm sorry, too"
 And that was the moment I knew
