Taylor Swift - Cassandra

[Verse 1] I was in my new house placing daydreams Patching up the crack along the wall I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying 'Cause that's where I was when I got the call [Pre-Chorus] When the first stone's thrown, there's screamin' In the streets, there's a raging riot When it's "Burn the bitch," they're shrieking When the truth comes out, it's quiet [Chorus] So, they killed Cassandra first 'cause she feared the worst And tried to tell the town So they filled my cell with snakes, I regret to say Do you believe me now? [Verse 2] I was in my tower weaving nightmares Twisting all my smiles into snarls They say, "What doesn't kill you makes you aware" What happens if it becomes who you are? [Chorus] So, they killed Cassandra first 'cause she feared the worst And tried to tell the town So they set my life in flames, I regret to say Do you believe me now? [Bridge] They knew, they knew, they knew the whole time That I was onto somethin' The family, the pure greed, the Christian chorus line They all said nothin' Blood's thick, but nothin' like a payroll Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul You can mark my words that I said it first In a mourning warning, no one heard [Verse 3] I patched up the crack along the wall I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying 'Cause that's where I was when I lost it all [Chorus] So, they killed Cassandra first 'cause she feared the worst And tried to tell the town So they filled my cell with snakes, I regret to say Do you believe me now? [Post-Chorus] Ah, ah, ah I was onto somethin' Ah, ah They all said nothin' Blood's thick but nothin' like a payroll Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul You can mark my words that I said it first In a mourning warning, no one heard No one heard, not a single word was heard [Outro] When the first stone's thrown, there's screamin' In the streets, there's a raging riot When it's "Burn the bitch," they're shrieking When the truth comes out, it's quiet It's so quiet
