Blank Space

Nice to meet you where you been?

I could show you incredible things.

Magic, madness, heaven, sin

Saw you there and I thought

Oh my God, look at that face

You look like my next mistake

Love's a game, want to play?



No money, suit and tie

I can read you like a magazine

Ain't it funny, rumors fly

And I know you heard about me

So hey, let's be friends

I'm dying to see how this one ends

Grab your passport, and my hand

I can make the bad guys good for a weekend



Chorus:

So it's gonna be forever

Or it's gonna go down in flames

You can tell me when it's over

If the high was worth the pain

Got a long list of ex lovers

They'll tell you I'm insane

'Cause you know I love the players

And you love the game



'Cause we're young and we're reckless

We'll take this way too far

It'll leave you breathless 

Or with a nasty scar

Got a long list of ex lovers

They'll tell you I'm insane

But I've got a blank space,

Baby...

And I'll write your name.



Cherry lips, crystal skies

I could show you incredible things

Stolen kisses, pretty lies

You're the king, baby, 

I'm your Queen find out what you want

Be that girl for a month wait

The worst is yet to come...



Screaming, crying, perfect storms

I can make all the tables turn

Rose garden filled with thorns

Keep you second guessing like

Oh my god who is she?

I get drunk on jealousy

But you'll come back

Each time you leave

'Cause darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream



[Chorus]



Boys only want love if it's torture

Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn you...

Boys only want love if it's torture

Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn you...



[Chorus]
