I Knew You Were Trouble

I knew you were trouble
The first day that I saw your grin
It was charming--it pulled me in
I didn't know you had a double
Someone that I would come to know in the end

 I knew you were trouble
But I didn't seem to care
I had you and my happiness was there
But I didn't know you had a double
Someone that I would come to know in the end

 I knew you were trouble
The day you broke my heart in two--
You made it seem like I was nothing to you
Cruel and heartless was the double
The someone in the end wasn't you

  1. You definitely captured the same tone as Taylor Swift’s song lyrics here. I thought the twist at the end worked really well both in message and in the timing within the stanzas.

  2. I'm not familiar with the lyrics, but I enjoyed this portrayal of someone who is sort of two-faced. I felt for the narrator. I relate to that, knowing someone is trouble but going for it anyway.
