Swift, Taylor - The Moment I Knew Lyrics






You should've been there,
Should've burst through the door,
With that 'baby I'm right here' smile,
And it would've felt like,
A million little shining stars had just aligned,
And I would've been so happy.

Christmas lights glisten,
I've got my eye on the door,
Just waiting for you to walk in,
But the time is ticking,
People ask me how I've been
As I comb back through my memory,
How you said you'd be here,
You said you'd be here.

And it was like slow motion,
Standing there in my party dress,
In red lipstick,
With no one to impress,
And they're all laughing,
As I'm looking around the room,
But there's one thing missing,
And that was the moment I knew.

And the hours pass by,
Now I just wanna be alone,
But your close friends always seem to know
When there's something really wrong,
So they follow me down the hall,
And there in the bathroom,
I try not to fall apart,
And the sinking feeling starts,
As I say hopelessly,
"He said he'd be here."

And it was like slow motion,
Standing there in my party dress,
In red lipstick,
With no one to impress,
And they're all laughing,
And asking me about you,
But there was one thing missing,
And that was the moment I knew.

What do you say
When tears are streaming down your face
In front of everyone you know?
And what do you do when the one
Who means the most to you
Is the one who didn't show?

You should've been here.
And I would've been so happy.

And it was like slow motion,
Standing there in my party dress,
In red lipstick,
With no one to impress,
And they're all standing around me singing
"Happy birthday to you",
But there was one thing missing,
And that was the moment I knew.

Ooh, I knew.
Ooh,

You called me later,
And said, "I'm sorry, I didn't make it,"
And I said, "I'm sorry too,"
And that was the moment I knew.

  1. D.... A....

    I'm not crying

  2. K.... M....

    Been a Taylor fan since Day 1 and this is still my FAV song by her. (I almost do and all too well are close too)

  3. V.... V....

    Everyone críticize her because is about her birthday, they dont see themeaning after his action, why she felt this way, iit not that simple lije "Oh, no my bfriend didn come" it mean he never care about her, his own friends, whos also re involv in this relation, nothing, sadly he was and is a selfish man, and tha was he really and only was

  4. W.... N....

    thanks, glad to hear someone told me happy bday.

    This song gets me right in the feels. <3 I just put out a video about my ex and I got called out for being like Taylor Swift haha. Check it out if you have a second and sub to my channel. (:

  11. W.... B....

    "You call me later, and say "I'm sorry I didn't make it..."
    "Words... how little they mean... when you're a little too late..."

  12. S.... ....

    I thought this song was so sad but couldn't personally relate to it until recently. Me and the best friend I ever had fell out and I truly thought we'd patch things up. It was a few weeks before my birthday and I thought for sure I'd hear from her and that would be when we'd fix everything. The whole day, all the messages and happy birthdays I got that day only made me sadder and sadder because I heard from everyone but the one person I prayed I would. After that I knew things were over. This song is too relatable now.

    S.... ....

    Awweeee feel better please.... belated happy birthday to you💗

  13. M.... O....

    So today it's my birthday and the guy I really like didn't remember it, so here I am.
