“This is me praying that
This was the very first page
Not where the story line ends
My thoughts will echo your name
Until I see you again
These are the words I held back
As I was leaving too soon
I was enchanted to meet youPlease don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you
Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you”

Taylor Swift (1989) American singer-songwriter

As she reads from a true love story.
From the pages of a book her lover comes,
Her heart bleeds, it's a true love story.”
