Lyrics :

[Verse 1]
You should've been there
Should've burst through the door
With that, "Baby, I'm right here" smile
And it would've felt like
A million little shining stars had just aligned
And I would've been so happy

[Verse 2]
Christmas lights glisten
I've got my eye on the door
Just waiting for you to walk in
But the time is ticking
People ask me how I've been
As I comb back through my memory
How you said you'd be here
You said you'd be here

[Chorus]
And it was like slow motion
Standing there in my party dress
In red lipstick
With no one to impress
And they're all laughing
As I'm looking around the room
But there was one thing missing
And that was the moment I knew

[Verse 3]
And the hours pass by
Now I just wanna be alone
But your close friends always seem to know
When there's something really wrong
So they follow me down the hall
And there in the bathroom
I try not to fall apart
And the sinking feeling starts
As I say, hopelessly
"He said he'd be here"

[Chorus]
And it was like slow motion
Standing there in my party dress
In red lipstick
With no one to impress
And they're all laughing
And asking me about you
But there was one thing missing (missing)
And that was the moment I knew

[Bridge]
What do you say
When tears are streaming down your face
In front of everyone you know?
And what do you do
When the one who means the most to you
Is the one who didn't show?

“When the one who means the most to you, is the one who doesn’t show ?”my eyes just started sweating

[aidmashups]

I'M NOT READY FOR RERECORDED VERSION OF THIS.

[peytonmcendree]

Everyone’s talking about their ex but this song reminds me of my dad

[BIRDSab]

3:53 It breaks my heart the way she sings "Happy birthday to you"

[harrutlau]

Imagine if Jake shown up back there and we wouldn't heard this song, damn that's sad too🤧

[srestha]

To all the people talking about "the old taylor" :She is just evolving gorgeously. Her talent is as beautiful as it was before. And we swifties are here for it. Go Taylor ❤

[suryaditaufan]

I know TS7 will be a love songs about her current moment with joe, but sometime i miss her breakup song like this

[kosmikpixie]

Christmas 2013. My wife of 41 years had left me in the spring. We'd had 41 Christmases together with our kids and I was now alone. She had not allowed me to contact her for months. Still, I sent her a text to tell her I was preparing a full-on Christmas dinner like we'd always had and was inviting her to join me. I asked her to not tell me if she was coming or not, to just come. I waited Christmas Eve for her to show up. She never did.

“What do you say when tears are streaming down your face in front of everyone you know?
And what do you do when the one who means the most to you is the one who didn’t show”
I replayed it three times because the first time wasn’t hurt enough.
That part always brings water to my eyes.

[tristanyupukoni]

James might cheated on Betty, but he showed up at her party

Jake however....YOU SHOULD'VE BEEN THERE!!! this was truly the moment she knew

[devonknight]

This song is so relatable in so many levels

[marisolbarragan]

Hurt Taylor just hits different. I miss when she used to write songs like this

[skylars]

I know it supposed to be about a SO but it Reminds me of being younger waiting for my Dad to show up to stuff, he never could make it to anything....

[anasalcido]

This was literally my whole breakup. My birthday is December 21, and he was supposed to meet my family but we got into an argument and he never showed up even though the day before he said he would. Everyone knew he was supposed to come so they kept asking about him and when the time came to blow out my candles and everyone was singing happy birthday I ran off and started crying. He called me that night and said he was sorry for not showing up that he was still upset. We tried to make it work but broke up a month later.

[danchostoyanov]

I can imagine this with her voice now, it'd be even more beautiful imo

[gsiya]

The line and the way she sings it still hits

What DO you SAY WHEN TEARS ARE STREAMING DOWN YOUR FACE in front of EVERYONE YOU KNEW???

Like that everyone part is just like she has tears

[ishwitty]

December 13 is her birthday and that will be tomorrow. I'm glad you would be so happy because of Joe Alwyn. 😍

[rhicaburlungan]

this is my first time to listen to this song, and it makes me cry

[justthewellers]
