“hoax” lyrics

[Verse 1]
My only one
My smoking gun
My eclipsed sun
This has broken me down
My twisted knife
My sleepless night
My winless fight
This has frozen my ground

[Chorus]
Stood on the cliffside screaming, ”Give me a reason”
Your faithless love’s the only hoax I believe in
Don’t want no other shade of blue but you
No other sadness in the world would do

[Verse 2]
My best-laid plan
Your sleight of hand
My barren land
I am ash from your fire

[Chorus]
Stood on the cliffside screaming, “Give me a reason”
Your faithless love’s the only hoax I believe in
Don’t want no other shade of blue but you
No other sadness in the world would do

[Bridge]
You know I left a part of me back in New York?
You knew the hero died so what’s the movie for?
You knew it still hurts underneath my scars
From when they pulled me apart
You knew the password so I let you in the door
You knew you won so what’s the point of keeping score?
You knew it still hurts underneath my scars
From when they pulled me apart
But what you did was just as dark
Darling, this was just as hard
As when they pulled me apart

[Outro]
My only one
My kingdom come undone
My broken drum
You have beaten my heart
Don’t want no other shade of blue but you
No other sadness in the world would do

Everything We Know About folklore 

Taylor Swift released her eighth studio album, folklore, on Friday (July 24, 2020). Taylor announced the album less than one day prior to its release, on July 23, 2020.

folklore will have 16 songs on the standard edition. However, the physical deluxe editions will include “the lakes” as a bonus track. “Because this is my 8th studio album, I made 8 deluxe CDs & 8 deluxe vinyls.”

“Most of the things I had planned this summer didn’t end up happening,” Taylor shared, seemingly referencing the cancellation of her Lover Festivals. “But there is something I hadn’t planned on that DID happen.”

“Before this year I probably would’ve overthought when to release this music at the ‘perfect’ time, but the times we’re living in keep reminding me that nothing is guaranteed,” Taylor added.. “My gut is telling me that if you make something you love, you should just put it out into the world. That’s the side of uncertainty I can get on board with. Love you guys so much.” 

According to her social media posts and new filter, Taylor’s new era includes lowercase letters and sepia tones.

folklore tracklisting:

  1. “the 1”
  2. “cardigan”
