(Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault) | My cards are on the table, yours are in your hands
Chances are tonight you've already got plans
And chances are I will talk myself to sleep again
You give me just enough attention to keep my hopes too high

(Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault) | My cards are on the table, yours are in your hands
Chances are tonight you've already got plans
And chances are I will talk myself to sleep again
You give me just enough attention to keep my hopes too high
Wishful thoughts forget to mention when something's really not right
And I will block out these voices of reason in my head
[Chorus]
And the voices say, "You are not the exception
You will never learn your lesson, foolish one
Stop checking your mailbox for confessions of love that ain't never gonna come
You will take the long way, you will take the long way down"
[Verse 2]
You know how to keep me waiting, I know how to act like I'm fine
Don't know what to call this situation but I know I can't call you mine
And it's delicate, but I will do my best to seem bulletproof
Cause when my head is on your shoulder it starts thinking you'll come around
And maybe someday when we're older this is something we'll laugh about
Over coffee every morning while you're watching the news
[Chorus]
But then the voices say, "You are not the exception
You will never learn your lesson, foolish one
Stop checking your mailbox for confessions of love that ain't never gonna come
You will take the long way, you will take the long way down
Foolish one
Stop checking your mailbox for confessions of love that ain't never gonna come
You will have to learn the hard way instead of walking out"
[Verse 3]
Now I'm sliding down the wall with my head in my hands
Saying, "How could I not see the signs?"
Oh, you haven't written me or called
But goodbye screaming in the silence
And the voices in my head are telling me why
Cause you got her on your arm and me in the wings
I'll get your longing glances but she'll get your ring
And you will say you had the best of intentions
And maybe I will finally learn my lesson
[Chorus]
But then the voices say, "You are not the exception
You will never learn your lesson, foolish one
Stop checking your mailbox for confessions of love that ain't never gonna come
You will take the long way, you will take the long way down
Foolish one
Stop checking your mailbox for confessions of love that ain't never gonna come
You will have to learn the hard way instead of walking out"
[Outro]
Ain't never gonna come
Ooh, you will learn the hard way now
Foolish one
Sitting 'round waiting for confessions of love, they ain't never gonna come
And thinking he's the one, you should've been walking out
Foolish one
The day is gonna come for your confessions of love, when all is said and done
He just wasn't the one, no, he just wasn't the one
Moje karte su na stolu, tvoje su u tvojim rukama
Večeras su večeras da već imate planove
I šanse da ću razgovarati sama da spavam
Dajete mi dovoljno pažnje da zadržite nade previsoke
Željene misli zaboravljaju spomenuti kada nešto zaista nije u redu
I blokirat ću ove glasove razloga u glavi
[Chorus]
A glasovi kažu: "Nisi izuzetak
Nikad nećete naučiti svoju lekciju, budalasti
Prestanite provjeravati poštanski sandučić za priznanje ljubavi koja nikad neće doći
Na dugi ćete način biti dugi put "
[VERSE 2]
Znate kako da me čekate, znam kako se ponašati kao da sam dobro
Ne znam šta da zovem ovu situaciju, ali znam da te ne mogu nazvati mojim
I nježno je, ali dat ću sve od sebe da izgledam neprobojan
Jer kad mi je glava na ramenu, počinje misliti da ćeš doći
I možda jednog dana kad smo stariji, ovo ćemo se smijati
Preko kafe svako jutro dok gledate vijesti
[Chorus]
Ali onda glasovi kažu: "Nisi izuzetak
Nikad nećete naučiti svoju lekciju, budalasti
Prestanite provjeravati poštanski sandučić za priznanje ljubavi koja nikad neće doći
Na dugi ćete način biti dugi put
Budalast
Prestanite provjeravati poštanski sandučić za priznanje ljubavi koja nikad neće doći
Morat ćete naučiti naporan način umjesto da izlazite "
[VERSE 3]
Sad mi klizim niz zid glavom u rukama
Govoreći: "Kako ne bih mogao vidjeti znakove?"
Oh, nisi me napisao ili zvao
Ali zbogom vrištajući u tišini
A glasovi u mojoj glavi mi govore zašto
Jer si je dobio na ruku i meni u krilima
Dobit ću vaše čezne poglede, ali dobit će vaš prsten
I reći ćete da ste imali najbolje namere
A možda ću napokon naučiti svoju lekciju
[Chorus]
Ali onda glasovi kažu: "Nisi izuzetak
Nikad nećete naučiti svoju lekciju, budalasti
Prestanite provjeravati poštanski sandučić za priznanje ljubavi koja nikad neće doći
Na dugi ćete način biti dugi put
Budalast
Prestanite provjeravati poštanski sandučić za priznanje ljubavi koja nikad neće doći
Morat ćete naučiti naporan način umjesto da izlazite "
[Outro]
Nikad neće doći
Ooh, sad ćete naučiti naporan put
Budalast
Sjedeći "koji čeka priznanje ljubavi, nikad neće doći
I misleći da je on taj, trebao si izlaziti
Budalast
Dan će doći po vašim priznanjima ljubavi, kad se sve kaže i učini
Jednostavno nije bio taj, ne, jednostavno nije bio taj
