"Death By A Thousand Cuts" (tạm dịch: Chết bởi hàng ngàn vết đâm) là ca khúc thứ 10 nằm trong album "Lover" của Taylor Swift. Ca khúc được lấy cảm hứng từ bộ phim "Someone Great" - một bộ phim Taylor từng xem trên Netflix và bật khóc. Trong ca khúc, Taylor ví nỗi đau của việc kết thúc một chuyện tình đẹp giống như nỗi đau khi chết bởi hàng ngàn vết đâm - vô cùng chậm chạp và đau đớn.
Lyrics:
My, my, my, my
(My, my, my, my)
My, my, my, my
(My, my, my, my)
My, my, my, my
(My, my, my, my)
My, my, my, my
(My, my, my, my)
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
Flashbacks waking me up
I get drunk, but it's not enough
"Cause the morning comes and you" re not my baby
I look through the windows of this love
Even though we boarded them up
Chandelier still flickering here
"Cause I can" t pretend it's okay when it's not
It's death by a thousand cuts.
I dress to kill my time
I take the long way home
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
They say, "I don't know"
And what once was ours
Is no one's now
I see you everywhere, the only thing we share
Is this small town
You said it was a great love
One for the ages
But if the story's over, why am I still writing pages?
"Cause saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
Flashbacks waking me up
I get drunk, but it" s not enough
"Cause the morning comes and you" re not my baby
I look through the windows of this love
Even though we boarded them up
Chandelier still flickering here
"Cause I can" t pretend it's okay when it's not
It's death by a thousand cuts.
My heart, my hips, my body, my love
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
Gave up on me like I was a bad drug
Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted club
Our songs, our films, united, we stand
Our country, guess it was a lawless land
Quiet my fears with the touch of your hand
Paper cut stings from my paper-thin plans
My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust
Tryna find a part of me you didn't take up
Gave you so much, but it wasn't enough
But I'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts.
I get drunk, but it's not enough
"Cause you" re not my baby
I look through the windows of this love
Even though we boarded them up
Chandelier still flickering here
"Cause I can" t pretend it's okay when it's not
No, it's not
It's death by a thousand cuts (you didn't touch)
Just tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
My body, my love
My trust (it's death by a thousand cuts)
But it wasn't enough, it wasn't enough, no, no.
I take the long way home
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
They say, "I don't know"
