Haylor- What Really Happened

Dizzy's all it makes us

This cycle, to outsiders, could've looked absolutely ridiculous. But to them it made the perfect sense.

Unexplainable a love that only we could understand

Then there's the phase of missing the other person so badly that you forget why you even left.

I've been going out of my mind, I feel it, I feel it

I wish you would come back

I miss you too much to be mad anymore

I wish we could go back

And remember what we were fighting for

I wish I never hung up the phone like I did

Even my phone misses your call

Here you are now, calling me up, but I don't know what to say

Maybe one day you'll call me, and tell me that you're sorry too

They both try to move on with other people, rebounds or distractions, but it doesn't work.

Woke up the girl who looked just like you

I almost said your name

Tossing, turning, struggled through the night with someone new

After failing he tries his only other option. I wish you would and How You Get The Girl is about him coming back I think, to try one last time.

There's "I Wish You Would," about an ex who bought a house two blocks from hers (whom she implies was Styles). And "All You Had to Do Was Stay," about a guy who was never willing to commit (ditto).

- Taylor Swift for Rolling Stone

"oh, some extra info on IWYW. cant remember if ive already shared this, if i have im sorry, if i havent then here. taylor wrote that after a couple of months after her and harry broke up, and they decided to become friends again, and she said this was the first time she had become friends with an ex to the point where they were comfortable enough to talk about why the relationship didnt work out. and he said how, after they broke up, he bought a house literally one road adjacent to hers. and every day he would drive home, and accidentally turn into her street, and told her how he just wanted to stop at her house and see her, but he never did. and she said this song is about while he was in the car making the decision to get out the car and see her, she was sitting in her bedroom, wishing he would make the move and go back to her and just pitch up at her house. she compared it to a classic movie where both parties want the same thing but neither has the guts to say anything. and that's why the song has the lyrics of "driving straight ahead", opposed to taking the left turn to see her." - Fan who attended Taylor's 1989 secret sessions

"Okay so this is an idea called "I Wish You Would". It's kind of about this guy who's like, he's driving down the street at the middle of the night and he passes his ex-girlfriend's house and it's like, he thinks she hate him, but she's still in love with him, very dramatic."

- Taylor Swift

You think I'm gonna hate you now

Cause you still don't know what I never said

Open up your eyes, shut your mouth and see

That I'm still the only one who's been in love with me

There's still confusion between them, and her leaving might have led Harry to believe that she doesn't love him, or never did. Or maybe he thinks she resents him for the mistakes he made.
