“Picture to Burn” - Taylor Swift
“So watch me strike a match on all my wasted time / As far as I’m concerned, you’re just another picture to burn.”
“White Horse” - Fearless
“‘Cause I’m not your princess, this ain’t a fairytale / I’m gonna find someone someday / Who might actually treat me well / This is a big world, that was a small town / There in my rear-view mirror disappearing now / And it’s too late for you and your white horse / Now it’s too late for you and your white horse.”
“Enchanted” - Speak Now
“These are the words I held back, as I was leaving too soon / I was enchanted to meet you / Please don’t be in love with someone else / Please don’t have somebody waiting on you.”
“All Too Well” - Red
“They say all’s well that ends well / But I’m in a new hell every time you double-cross my mind / And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue? / Just between us did the love affair maim you too?”

“Blank Space” – 1989
“So it’s gonna be forever / Or it’s gonna go down in flames / You can tell me when it’s over / If the high was worth the pain.”
“Look What You Made Me Do” – reputation
“I (I) don’t (don’t) like your kingdom keys (keys) / They (they) once belonged to me (me) / You (you) asked me for a place to sleep / Locked me out and threw a feast (what?).”
“Death by A Thousand Cuts” - Lover
“Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts / Flashbacks waking me up / I get drunk, but it’s not enough / ‘Cause the morning comes and you’re not my baby.”
“The 1” – folklore
“We were something, don’t you think so? / Rosé flowing with your chosen family / And it would’ve been sweet / If it could’ve been me / In my defense, I have none / For digging up the grave another time / But it would’ve been fun / If you would’ve been the one.”
Anti-Hero - Midnights
“I should not be left to my own devices / They come with prices and vices / I end up in crisis (tale as old as time) / I wake up screaming from dreaming / One day I’ll watch as you’re leaving / ’Cause you got tired of my scheming / It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me.”
