Taylor Swift 'The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived'  Lyrics

Was any of it true
Gazing at me, starry-eyed
In your Jehovah’s witness suit
Who the f—k was that guy
You tried to buy some pills
From a friend of friends of mine
They just ghosted you
Now you know what it feels like

And I don’t even want you back
I just want to know
If rusting my sparkling summer was the goal
And I don’t miss what we had
But could someone give a message
To the smallest man who ever lived?

You hung me on your wall
Stabbed me with your pushpins
In public showed me off
Then sank into stoned oblivion
Cause once your queen had come
You treat her like an also-ran
You didn’t measure up in any measure of a man

And I don’t even want you back
I just want to know
If rusting my sparkling summer was the goal
And I don’t miss what we had
But could someone give a message
To the smallest man who ever lived?

Were you sent by someone who wanted me dead?
Did you sleep with a gun underneath our bed
Were you were writing a book?
Were you a sleeper cell spy?
In 50 years will this all be declassified?
You'll confess what you did
And I'll say good riddance
‘Cause it wasn't sexy once it wasn’t forbidden
I would've died for your sins
Instead, I just died inside
And you deserve prison, but you won’t get time
You'll slide into inboxes and slip through the bars
You crashed my party and your rental car
You said normal girls were boring
But you were gone by the morning
You kicked out the stage lights but you're still performing
And in plain sight, you hid
But you are what you did

And I'll forget you, but I will never forgive
The smallest man who ever lived
