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 til I left ('til 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
