Official ‘Daylight’ Lyrics
Written by Taylor Swift

My love was as cruel as the cities I lived in
Everyone looked worse in the light
There are so many lines that I’ve crossed unforgiven
I’ll tell you the truth but never goodbye I don’t wanna look at anything else now that I saw you
I don’t wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you
I’ve been sleeping so long in a twenty year dark night
And now I see daylight
I only see daylight Luck of the draw only draws the unlucky
And so I became the butt of the joke
I wounded the good and I trusted the wicked
Clearing the air, I breathed in the smoke
Maybe you ran with the wolves and refused to settle down
Maybe I stormed out of every single room in this town
Threw out our cloaks and our daggers because it’s morning now
It’s brighter now, now Chorus And I can still see it all in my mind
All of you, all of me intertwined
I once believed love would be black and white
But it’s golden And I can still see it all in my head
Back and forth from New York
Sneaking in your bed
I once believed love would be burning red
But it’s golden
Like daylight I don’t wanna look at anything else now that I saw you
I could never look away
I don’t wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you
Things will never be the same
I’ve been sleeping so long in a twenty year dark night
And now I see daylight
I only see daylight
I only see daylight
I only see daylight
Like daylight
It’s golden
Like daylight
You gotta step into the daylight
And let it go
Just let it go
Let it go Spoken:
“I want to be defined by the things that I love. Not the things I hate, not the things I’m afraid of, the things that haunt me in the middle of the night. I just think that... you are what you love.”

[Isabelle-Cassels]

Red: loving him was red, burning red. Daylight: I once believed love would be burning red, but it’s golden

[kurtromero]

“And there’s something to be proud of about moving on and realizing that real love shines golden like starlight, and doesn’t fade or spontaneously combust. Maybe I’ll write a whole album about that kind of love if I ever find it.” - the Prologue from Red (2012)
"I once believed love would be burning red. But it's golden like Daylight"

[hazraa]

This songs hits different if u hear it after listening to Red. I love the growth

[denverbungay]

The very reason I liked Taylor is because of these impeccable compositions.

[SwiftieLuma]

This is my ''comfort'' song. It perfectly composes negative feelings in the beggining but ultimately finding light in the end ... its a hopeful song, more than just a simple positive song ... its about self love, and finding the right person to love you and believing in the light that all of that brings to you.

[saventra]

I was listening to this with headphones, and suddenly I realized my heart was beating in synchronization with the song. It made tears stream down my face, and as the song ended it was just so emotional for me. Music is the closest friend I could ever have

[ayahsaeed]

She's the best songwriter of our generation.

[hiennguyenthi]

Me: being stuck in homework and hear Taylor singing:"Deadline deadline deadline~~~"

[theraven]

"I wounded the good and trusted the wicked."
I can relate to that much

[vidr]

2:10 I can't stop my tears when that part comes

"I wounded the good and I trusted the wicked" that line hits so hard

[nurulamin]

Taylor: you are what you love


Me: I am Taylor Swift

[jaylord]

She's very sentimental and sensitive and thats how she became so classy and feminine.... I love how TS fight over in her darkside to be able to be herself for who she really is

[sabrina.k]

I once believed love would be burning red..
But it's golden.

That hits me. She found the one and I'm so happy for her❤️

[upscaleavenue]

2:09 one of her best bridges ever. So lovely.

[hareefth]

i never been in a relationship with any guy before but this song made me cried a couple of times, her voice is just magical. especially 3:41 she’s like asking me to just move forward eventho i know that im still gonna feel lonely 💜

[faithtongco]

This reminds me of my boyfriend. I was in a dark place until he came, he was my daylight. After he came into my life, I never viewed mornings the same. Now I have something to lose, something to look forward to. Because of him.

[kln]

I wanna be defined by the things that I love
Not the things that I hate
Not the things that I'm afraid of, I'm afraid of
The things that haunt me in the middle of the night
I, I just think that
You are what you love
