“We Were Happy” was a formerly unreleased song by Taylor Swift, detailing her feelings of guilt due to falling out of love with a boy, and the lost future they dreamed of together. It was written in 2005 with Liz Rose, and considered for her sophomore album Fearless before being turned down.
On Apr...
[Verse 1]
We used to walk along the streets
When the porch lights were shinin' bright
Before I had somewhere to be
Back when we had all night
And we were happy
I do recall a good while back
We snuck into the circus
You threw your arms around my neck
Back when I deserved it
And we were happy
[Chorus]
When it was good, baby, it was good, baby
We showed 'em all up
No one could touch the way we
Laughed in the dark, talkin' 'bout your daddy's farm
We were gonna buy someday
And we were happy
[Verse 2]
We used to watch the Sun go down
On the boats in the water
That's sorta how I feel right now
And goodbye's so much harder
'Cause we were happy
[Chorus]
When it was good, baby, it was good, baby
We showed 'em all up
No one could touch the way we
Laughed in the dark, talkin' 'bout your daddy's farm
We were gonna buy someday
And we were happy
[Post-Chorus]
We were happy
[Bridge]
Oh, I hate those voices
Tellin' me I'm not in love anymore
But they don't give me choices
And that's what these tears are for
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause we were happy
We were happy
[Chorus]
When it was good, baby, it was good, baby
We showed 'em all up
No one could touch the way we
Laughed in the dark, talkin' 'bout your daddy's farm
And you were gonna marry me
And we were happy
[Outro]
We were happy
Oh, we were happy
