  • So Long London Lyrics

    So long, London (So long, London),So long, London (So long, London)
    So long, London (So long, London)

    I saw in my mind fairy lights through the mist
    I kept calm and carried 
    the weight of the rift
    Pulled him in tighter each time
     he was drifting away

    My spine split from carrying us up the hill
    Wet through my clothes, weary bones
     caught the chill
    I stopped trying to make him laugh, stopped trying to drill the safe
    Thinking how much 
    sad did you think I had
    Did you think I had in me?
    Oh, the tragedy

    So long, London,You'll find someone

    I didn't opt in to be your odd man out
    I founded the club she's heard
    great things about
    I left all I knew, you left me at the 
    house by the Heath

    I stopped CPR, after all, it's no use
    The spirit was gone, we would never come to
    And I'm pissed off you let me give
     you all that youth for free

    For so long, London,Stitches undone
    Two graves, one gun,I'll find someone

    And you say I abandoned the ship
    But I was going down with it
    My white-knuckle
     dying grip
    Holding tight to your
     quiet resentment
    And my friends said it isn't right to be scared
    Every day of a 
    love affair

    Every breath feels like rarest air
    When you're not sure if he wants to be there
    So how much sad 
    did you think I had,Did you think I had in me?
    How much tragedy?

    Just how low did you think I'd go
    Before I'd self-implode?
    Before I'd have to go be free?

    You swore that you loved me, but where were the clues?
    I died on the altar waiting for the proof
    You sacrificed us to the
     gods of your bluest days
    And I'm just getting
    color back into my face
    I'm just mad as hell 'cause I loved this place

    For so long, London (So long, London)
    Had a good run (Had a good run)
    A moment of warm sun 
    (Moment of warm sun)
    But I'm not the one (I'm not the one)

    So long, London (So long, London)
    Stitches undone
     (Stitches undone)
    Two graves, one gun
     (Two graves, one gun)

    You'll find someone (You'll find)

    SONG MEANING

    Taylor Swift Bids Farewell to London with New Track "So Long London-In a striking contrast to her buoyant 2019 hit "London Boy," Taylor Swift's latest release, "So Long London," marks a poignant farewell to the city she once celebrated.
    London Boy" was widely regarded as an affectionate tribute to Swift's then-boyfriend, English actor Joe Alwyn. However, their relationship ended in the spring of 2023 after a six-year romance, making "So Long London" a reflective and emotionally charged follow-up.
