Lirik Lagu Pink Clouding - Taylor Swift, Angkat Rasa Penyesalan

Met the magenta sunrise
Fuchsia forever intertwined
Threw the rosewood on the fire
Neither of us knew at the time
That I was a liar

And it was so good
Letting you want me
So good
To make promises, promises
Pr-pr-promises

But I was pink clouding from the thrill of it (Pink, ha-ha-ha)
Skydiving as you wrapped your arms around my body
Gray (Gray) rocking where the arrow hit
Years later, I still wonder how to tell you sorry
I didn't wanna let you down (Pink cloud, pink cloud)
So I left you up there on a, pink cloud (Pink cloud, pink cloud)

He cut me crimson, bled me dry
He crossed my heart, I hoped to die (Hoped to die)
Ripped all my orchids from the vine
You met me at a cursed time
I told you I was fine

And you were so good (Good)
That's why you haunt me
Like you should (Should)
And all my promises, promises
Pr-pr-promises

'Cause I was pink clouding from the thrill of it (Pink)
Skydiving as you wrapped your arms around my body (Ha-ha-ha)
Gray rocking where the arrow hit (Gray)
Years later, I still wonder how to tell you sorry
I didn't want to let you down (Pink cloud, pink cloud)
So I left you up there on a pink cloud (Pink, pink cloud)

I hope
You realized my kind of trouble wasn't worth it
And the way I treated you, you never deserved it
And I swear to God, to this day
I wake up scared that I left scars on a good person
And I gave you zero reason to believe it
So be it
But it didn't mean nothing
Just 'cause I could leave it

I was pink clouding from the thrill of it (Ha-ha-ha)
Skydiving as you wrapped your arms around my body
Gray rocking where the arrow hit (Ha-ha-ha, gray, where the arrow hit)
Years later, I still wonder how to tell you sorry

I hope you landed safely on the ground, hey (Pink cloud, pink cloud)
And I hope you're so happy now (Pink cloud, pink cloud)
I didn't wanna let you down (Pink cloud, pink cloud)
So I left you up there (Pink cloud)
On a pink cloud
