Yeah ikr....
Wait.
I just figured out the meaning of it! Ok so, there are two other songs on the album, august and cardigan, and they connect to betty! It’s about a love triangle (which Taylor calls “The Teenage Love Triangle) and they all describe James cheating on Betty with another girl. Each of them is from a different perspective. Betty is the aftermath of all of it, cardigan is during the cheating I believe, and I haven’t heard August yet.

Yup! She screwed some of the songs up by trying to be cool and cursing and stuff, imo

And then the other songs on the album are pretty mediocre, expect the 1, which is pretty solid.

It sounds so light and soft, but there’s a bit of an edge to it, it just sounds so nice.
Though I really like
Stood on the cliffside screaming, "Give me a reason"
Your faithless love's the only hoax I believe in
From hoax. That’s just two lines I could listen to forever.

Anyway this is why I’m listening to it:
I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
And you're the hero flying around, saving face
And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
Look at how my tears ricochet
I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
'Cause when I'd fight, you used to tell me I was brave
And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
Look at how my tears ricochet
I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
And so the battleships will sink beneath the waves
You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
You turned into your worst fears
And you're tossing out blame, drunk on this pain
Crossing out the good years
And you're cursing my name, wishing I stayed
Look at how my tears ricochet
Frick pretty choruses
