We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together by Taylor Swift

I am not in love with Jake Lloyd.

Maybe I was before but I'm being completely honest when I say that I don't love him anymore.

I know what you're thinking: 'What? No. You say that now but that ain't happening. You two are gonna get back together.'

We had probably just been dating for about three weeks when Jake first called it quits. I can still remember that July night when he came over my house and broke up with me. I honestly didn't understand why he did it though. All he said was the fact that he needed space or something. I thought it was stupid so we had a fight and it concluded with the two of us breaking up.

Then, the next morning, he came over and apologized. He said that he missed me and he promised that he'd change for me. I believed him that first time of course. Fact was that lasted for less than 24 hours. We had a fight. We broke it off again. Then, we said I love you and got back together.

Well, last night, the two of us had one of our legendary fights and broke up again. I know that you think I'm exaggerating and that we're gonna get back together again tomorrow but trust me when I say thay we are never ever getting back together. I'm not lying. I'm not blaming you for what you think of me but right now, I just want to tell the world that Jake and I are officially over and I'm saying this again, we are never ever getting back together. I'm not a very overdramatic person. He can go around talking to his friends. My friends are free too. You can even talk to me when you need something or just for fun. I don't think we should stop talking. All I want Jake to acknowledge is that we're over.

Maybe I'll miss how the two of us fought so often. No matter how wrong I was, the fight would include me yelling at the top of my lungs screaming that he's wrong and I'm right. Then, he'd slam the door and hide from me. He probably got some indie record that he always boasted was better than mine and listened to it all night long to space out all of my shouts.

For the third time: We are never ever getting back together.

But maybe there was a time when I thought that the two of us were really meant to be, that the relationship we shared would last forever.  Then, when we fought, I'd keep telling myself that it was just a rough patch.  I'd tell myself that we could get through this, that in any relationship, there were sure to be bumps in the way and if I wanted to survive, I'd have to survive and avoid giving up.

Like last night, he called me at around three in the morning and gave me the same speech he gave me so many times before.  The only difference was that when he pleaded me to forgive him, I told him that it was late and our relationship ws exhausting.  For the fourth time, we are never ever getting back together.

Oh, and Jake if you're reading this, I know it doesn't offend you or anything. I mean, how could you not see this coming?

And for the very last time, we are never ever getting back together.
