Lyrics Cassandra - Taylor Swift

Cassandra

I was in my new house placing daydreams
Patching up the crack along the wall
I pass it and lose track of what I’m saying
'Cause that’s where I was when I got the call
When the first stone’s thrown there’s screamin'
In the streets there’s a ragin' riot
When it’s, «Burn the bitch», they’re shrieking
When the truth comes out it’s quiet
So they killed Cassandra first
'Cause she feared the worst
And tried to tell the town
So they filled my cell with snakes, I regret to say
Do you believe me now?
I was in my tower weaving nightmares
Twisting all my smiles into snarls
They say what doesn’t kill you makes you aware
What happens if it becomes who you are?
So they killed Cassandra first
'Cause she feared the worst
And tried to tell the town
So they set my life in flames, I regret to say
Do you believe me now?
They knew, they knew, they knew the whole time
That I was onto somethin'
The family, the pure greed, the Christian chorus line
They all said nothin'
Blood’s thick, but nothin' like a payroll
Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul
You can mark my words that I said it first
In a mourning warning no one heard
I patched up the crack along the wall
I pass it and lose track of what I’m saying
'Cause that’s where I was when I lost it all
So they killed Cassandra first
'Cause she feared the worst
And tried to tell the town
So they filled my cell with snakes, I regret to say
Do you believe me now?
I was onto somethin'
They all said nothin'
Blood’s thick, but nothin' like a payroll
Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul
You can mark my words that I said it first
In a mourning warning no one heard
No one heard
Not a single word was heard
When the first stone’s thrown there’s screamin'
In the streets there’s a ragin' riot
When it’s «Burn the bitch», they’re shriekin'
When the truth comes out it’s quiet
It’s so quiet
