Lyricist: Taylor Swift
TMI: "To me, "White Horse" is about what, in my opinion, is the most heart-breaking part of a break-up – that moment when you realize that all the dreams you had, all those visions you had of being with this person, all that disappears. Everything after that moment is moving on... But that initial moment of "Wow, it's over" is what I wrote "White Horse" about."-Taylor Swift
<LYRICS>
[Verse 1]
Say you're sorry, that face of an angel
Comes out just when you need it to
As I paced back and forth all this time
'Cause I honestly believed in you
[Pre-Chorus]
Holding on, the days drag on
Stupid girl
I should have known, I should have known
[Chorus]
That I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you and your white horse
To come around
[Verse 2]
Maybe I was naive
Got lost in your eyes
And never really had a chance
My mistake, I didn't know to be in love
You had to fight to have the upper hand
[Pre-Chorus]
I had so many dreams about you and me
Happy endings
Now, I know
[Chorus]
That I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you and your white horse
To come around
[Bridge]
And there you are, on your knees
Begging for forgiveness, begging for me
Just like I always wanted, but I'm so sorry
'Cause I'm not your princess, this ain't a fairytale
I'm gonna find someone someday who might actually treat me well
This is a big world, that was a small town
There in my rearview mirror disappearing now
And its too late for you and your white horse
Now, its too late for you and your white horse
To catch me now
[Outro]
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
Try and catch me now
Oh, it's too late
To catch me now
