Other, more brutal lyrics such as “and I was never good at telling jokes but the punchline goes, ‘I’ll get older but your lovers stay my age’” have had fans weeping. The track All Too Well features some of Swift’s most poignant lyrics on heartbreak, and opens with the lines: “I walked through the door with you, the air was cold, but something about it felt like home somehow, and I left my scarf there at your sister’s house, and you’ve still got it in your drawer, even now.”Īlthough Swift has never confirmed the song to be about Gyllenhaal, she sings of “weeping in a party bathroom” after the man did not attend her 21st birthday, which fans see as the clearest symbol that it is Gyllenhaal, her boyfriend at the time.
