Lyrics of Intro – Ruin The Friendship by Taylor Swift
[Spoken]
‘Ruin The Friendship’ Is A Song That Kind Of Wistfully
Goes Back In Time To Moments That You Hesitated,
Moments That You Were Too Scared Or
Anxious To Do Something That You Were Really Curious About,
You Know, The Idea Of If You Told This Person
You Had Feelings For Them Or If You Kissed This Person,
You Might Ruin The Friendship.
And It Kind Of Goes Back In Time And,
And Explores What Really Would Have Been So Bad About That.
So It’s Really Kind Of A Beautiful Story Of Taking Chances
When They Present Themselves And Not Letting Them Pass You By,
Not Having To Spend Your Life Wondering
What Would Have Happened If You Would Have Done It.
“Ruin The Friendship Lyrics by Taylor Swift“
