My imagination is a twisted place - Taylor Swift


Did you really forget about me?
My name is Rosaline
I was your first lover
Before you met my cousin, Juliet

My story hasn't been heard
By so many people
They didn't even know I was part of the Shakespeare's work
How sad that can be ?
All because of Juliet
What do you even see in her?
Does she have something that i don't have?

Hey Romeo!
Why did you forget about me?
I loved you every day of my life
Is this really the way you pay me back?
Stabbed me in the back with your sharp actions
Treated me so wrong later on

Was I not enough for you?
Your heart I thought I knew,
But now I see it wasn't true,

Sobbing with heartache, feeling so blue,
You left me alone, my heart sliced into pieces
Why did you forget about me, Romeo?

Betrayed by the one I loved,
Replaced by Juliet,
My heart was shattered, dreams unloved,
But I'll move on, to find new love.

Hey Romeo!
Why did you forget about me?


The author's comments:

This song is about Rosaline, a character from Shakespeare play about Romeo and Juliet. She was the first person who Romeo was in love with and was soon forgotten after he met her cousin, Juliet.

In this song, she's asking Romeo why he forgot about her and why he replaced her with Juliet so quickly, and how she is going to try and move on in order to find true love.
