All Too Well
Taylor Swift · 2012
🎤 Sing along
Sing with the chorus
- I remember it all too well
- Photo album on the counter
- Your cheeks were turning red
- You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin-sized bed
Sing it again — final chorus
- I remember it all too well
- And you call me up again just to break me like a promise
- So casually cruel in the name of being honest
- I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here
