Death By A Thousand Cuts Lyrics » Taylor Swift
[Intro]
My, my, my, my
My, my, my, my
My, my, my, my
My, my, my, my
My, my, my, my
My, my, my, my
My, my, my, my
My, my, my, my
[Chorus]
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
Flashbacks waking me up
I get drunk, but it’s not enough
’Cause the morning comes and you’re not my baby
I look through the windows of this love
Even though we boarded them up
Chandelier’s still flickering here
’Cause I can’t pretend it’s okay when it’s not
It’s death by a thousand cuts
[Verse]
I dress to kill my time, I take the long way home
I ask the traffic lights if it’ll be alright
They say, “I don’t know”
And what once was ours is no one’s now
I see you everywhere, the only thing we share
Is this small town
You said it was a great love, one for the ages
But if the story’s over, why am I still writing pages?

What else have the artist said about the song?
Taylor
told
NPR Music:
Over the course of the years that I’ve done interviews, which is probably about 15 or 16 years now, I’ve gotten a question over and over again that I think has the potential to seriously deteriorate my mental health. The question is, “What will you ever do if you get happy? Like, what will you write about? Will you just never be able to write a song again?” It’s an interesting question. In interviews, when I would get that question as a young person, I’d kind of be like, “Well, I started out writing songs about stuff that I had no idea about. I started writing songs when I was 12 years old, and they were usually about heartbreak. I had no idea what I was talking about, but I watched movies and I read books, so I would grab inspiration from character dinamics, as you do,” so I would say in interviews, “I’d probably just do that. If stuff is going on in the world that’s not just happening to me, maybe I could get inspiration from that.” But then I’d go home and I’d be like, “What would happen if I was ever happy? Would I not be able to do the thing that I love the most in the world? Would I not be able to write break-up songs anymore? I love break-up songs! They’re so fun to write!” So then I happened to be writing this album,
Lover
, which is a very, very happy and romantic album. In my life, a few of my friends were going through break-ups and we were talking, it’s those kinds of break-ups where you need to talk to your friend all the time, because they need to talk about it all day, every day. So, I was having a lot of conversations about break-ups, I watched movies that were really well done about break-ups, in some of the books I was reading there were some good break-ups happening, so this all culminated in me waking up one day with all these heartbreak lyrics in my head and I was like, “It’s still here! Yes!”, so I ended up writing a song that was a break-up song on the
Lover
album and I was like, “This song is my proof that I don’t have to stop writing songs about heartache and misery” which, for me, is incredible news.

told
Apple Music:
I love writing more than anything I’ve ever done in my life, so it was like, “If I was in a place where I had things to protect and a world to protect, because I’m very protective of certain elements of my life and my world, would that kind of mute me a bit as a writer?” And the answer is no, actually, because there are songs [on
Lover
] that are not all happy, joyful songs, there are songs about moments of conflict and complexity within a relationship, there are songs that I didn’t even write about what I was going through. There’s a song called “Death by a Thousand Cuts” that’s the most emotional, sad lyric I’ve written in a very long time, and it’s about stuff that my friends were going through, it’s about a movie character dinamic I saw. I’m happy that, thus far, the songwriting faucet has still been on and hasn’t dried up.
What did Taylor Swift say about “Death By A Thousand Cuts”?
Basically, often times I’ll write songs about my own life, but there’s always flickers of other peoples work that influenced me in some way, like, I think when people make art, other people make art, and I think that, you know, especially women who make art, I find it highly inspiring, just based on how well they told a story, and there’s just something you get from watching a good story take place. I watched this movie on Netflix called “Someone Great”. It’s this amazing like well-done romantic comedy with a heart and just like depth to it, because it’s about this relationship that ends after like eight or nine years, and you know […]. And so I cried watching the movie, and so, for like a week I start waking up from dreams that I’m living out that scenario, that that’s happening to me. And I just would wake up and I’m like: “Oh my God, I’m writing a break-up song”, like I have these lyrics in my head based on the dynamics of these characters. And I went into the studio with Jack and I was like: “I got these lyrics for a song I’ve written for this song called Death by a thousand cuts”. So I write this song, we do this song in the studio, and fast forward a couple months later and I’m doing the Ellen show which I love doing. […]
