Like no bitch, that ain't storytelling.
Did those bitches not bother listening to ONE Taylor Swift song?

Right? What were they thinking?
Tough Love
He would cruise the sunset with me
And we would hold hands like everything was fine
But I would bury the darkness
Underneath the fake starlight we hid behind
My heart was tethered to his waist
And we would embrace like everything was right
Each kiss – a lie, only had pain on my side
Love’s mist took over when I ran back to him
I thought it’d be over but nothing ever is
And nothing was all I did
Every waking moment I would cry
Not in fear but to make you realise
Thought it was my fault, thought you would change
But hit after hit it stayed the same
I felt so weak, I felt so numb
Without, without, without your tough love
I fell too deep into your heart
And I became used to your tough love
I wondered if I could hurt you too
See you die a thousand times, bruise after bruise
I waited for you to undo
The emptiness I feel when I’m not abused
By you, and I’ve come to lose
All sense of identity, there is no use
Fighting when you’re stuck in a room with old news
I waited, no plan, knife in my hand
If this is love then I can’t understand
But I got a call, was a man
He told me you jumped and that I should relax
Knife was no longer in my hand
I crumbled to the floor and began to laugh
I wasn’t sure why but now I feel alive
Love’s mist took over when I ran back to him
I thought it’d be over but nothing ever is
And nothing was all I did
Every waking moment I would cry
Not in fear but to make you realise
Thought it was my fault, thought you would change
But hit after hit it stayed the same
I felt so weak, I felt so numb
Without, without, without your tough love
I fell too deep into your heart
And I became used to your tough love
Been five years counting and now I can begin
To live without a ghost who’s still haunted
I tried everything but pain was all I knew
Maybe I had to fall before I could bloom
I will miss you, I will miss you but I won’t miss this tune
Every waking moment I would cry
Not in fear but to make you realise
Thought it was my fault, thought you would change
But hit after hit it stayed the same
I felt so weak, I felt so strong
Without, without, without your tough love
I fell too deep into your heart
But now I can live without your tough love
Love’s mist took over when I ran back to him
I thought it’d be over but nothing ever is
And nothing is all I fear
Tbh I lowkey hate how Tough Love is my first and only #1 hit. It's a cute song and is something different from me but my #2 hits Nighthawks, Chrysalis, When They Cry were so much better

Tough Love - 8
The first verse goes in hard. It’s so well written. Pretty sure this is already your best song. The starlight line is probably my favorite part of the first verse. I didn’t like the repetitiveness in the pre-chorus of nothing. I liked the chorus but I thought the mentions of the song title came off rather awkward and a bit forced. Verse 2 and 3 were great but I don’t think they held a candle to the first verse. The bridge is much better than the last two verses. The ghost line is amazing.

This is the tea. A lot of yall just be stitching together random unrelated imagery and hoping it works.
I'm on the other side of the spectrum though. Can tell a great story on two verses but couldn't master imagery if my life depended on it

Not being scalped IS a problem though. If a song isn't a 10, you obviously have problems with it!

Temp has like7 #1s so it's clearly not much of a guessing game for him. He has the secret formula
