back to december taylor s version

Taylor Swift

I m so glad you made time to see me
How s life? Tell me, how s your family?
I haven t seen them in a while
You ve been good, busier than ever
We small talk, work and the weather
Your guard is up and I know why

Because the last time you saw me
Is still burned in the back of your mind
You gave me roses and I left them there to die

So, this is me swallowing my pride
Standin in front of you sayin
I m sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom
Ain t nothing but missin you
Wishin I d realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and make it alright
I go back to December all the time

These days, I haven t been sleeping
Stayin up, playing back myself leavin
When your birthday passed and I didn t call
Then I think about summer, all the beautiful times
I watched you laughin from the passenger side
And realized I loved you in the fall

And then the cold came, the dark days
When fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love
And all I gave you was goodbye

So, this is me swallowing my pride
Standin in front of you, sayin
I m sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom
Ain t nothing but missin you
Wishin I d realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time

I miss your tanned skin, your sweet smile
So good to me, so right
And how you held me in your arms
That September night
The first time you ever saw me cry
Maybe this is wishful thinkin
Probably mindless dreaming
But if we loved again, I swear I d love you right
I d go back in time and change it, but I can t
So, if the chain is on your door, I understand

But this is me swallowing my pride
Standin in front of you, sayin
I m sorry for that night
And I go back to December
It turns out freedom
Ain t nothing but missin you
Wishin I d realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and make it alright
I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time

All the time
