Taylor wrote this song on a ukulele on her tour bus after a show of the Speak Now World Tour, reflecting on a relationship that was “sad, beautiful and tragic.” It is speculated that it is about Taylor Lautner, but there is some reason to believe it could possibly be about Jake Gyllenhaal.

Long handwritten note deep in your pocket
Words, how little they mean when you're a little too late
I stood right by the tracks, your face in a locket

What we had, a beautiful magic love there
What a sad, beautiful, tragic, love affair
We had a beautiful magic love there
What a sad, beautiful, tragic love affair
