"Now That We Don't Talk (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault)"
You went to a party, I heard from everybody
You part the crowd like the Red Sea, don't even get me started Did you get anxious though, on the way home? I guess I'll never, ever know Now that we don't talk
You grew your hair long, you got new icons
And from the outside, it looks like you're trying lives on I miss the old ways, you didn't have to change But I guess I don't have a say Now that we don't talk
I called my mom, she said that it was for the best
Remind myself the more I gave, you'd want me less I cannot be your friend, so I pay the price of what I lost And what it cost Now that we don't talk
What do you tell your friends we
Shared dinners, long weekends with? Truth is, I can't pretend it's Platonic, it's just ended, so
I called my mom, she said to get it off my chest (Off my chest)
Remind myself the way you faded till I left (Till I left) I cannot be your friend, so I pay the price of what I lost (What I lost) And what it cost Now that we don't talk
I don't have to pretend I like acid rock
Or that I'd like to be on a mega-yacht With important men who think important thoughts Guess maybe I am better off Now that we don't talk
And the only way back to my dignity
Was to turn into a shrouded mystery Just like I had been when you were chasing me Guess this is how it has to be Now that we don't talk
