These are the lyrics to the 3rd iTunes countdown single off Taylor Swift’s upcoming album “Red.” It was written by Max Martin, Shellback and Taylor Swift. It is a pure pop track.

Once upon a time,

A few mistakes ago,

I was in your sights,

You got me alone,

You found me, you found me, you found me-e-e-e-

 

I guess you didn’t care,

And I guess I liked that,

And when I fell hard,

You took a step back,

Without me, without me, without me-e-e-e-e

 

And he’s long gone

When he’s next to me

And I realize the blame is on me

 

I knew you were trouble when you walked in

So shame on me now

Flew me to places I’d never been

So you put me down

 

I knew you were trouble when you walked in

So shame on me now

Flew me to places I’d never been

Now I’m lying on the cold hard ground

Trouble, trouble, trouble

Trouble, trouble, trouble

 

No apologies, he’ll never see you cry

Pretends he doesn’t know 

That he’s the reason why 

you’re drowning, you’re drowning, you’re drowning-ing-ing 

 

And I heard you moved on

From whispers on the streets

A new notch in your belt is all I’ll ever be

And now I see, now I see, now I see-e-e-e

He was long gone when he met me

And I realize the joke is on me

 

I knew you were trouble when you walked in

So shame on me now

Flew me to places I’d never been

So you put me down

 

I knew you were trouble when you walked in

So shame on me now

Flew me to places I’d never been

Now I’m lying on the cold hard ground

Trouble, trouble, trouble

Trouble, trouble, trouble

 

 

When the saddest fear comes creeping in

That you never loved me, or her, or anyone or anything

Yeah

 

I knew you were trouble when you walked in

So shame on me now

Flew me to places I’d never been

So you put me down

 

I knew you were trouble when you walked in

So shame on me now

Flew me to places I’d never been

Now I’m lying on the cold hard ground

Trouble, trouble, trouble

Trouble, trouble, trouble

 

I knew you were trouble when you walked in,

Trouble, trouble, trouble,

I knew you were trouble when you walked in,

Trouble, trouble, trouble.

I actually don’t like this at all. Apparently it’s made to be chaotic and fast but the song doesn’t work for me, especially the dubstep that comes out of nowhere.
