Since Swift first unveiled the album’s playlist in August, the fifth track has remained in the mystery. Fans of longtime know that the fifth track on a quick album usually carries a deep emotional weight (all too well, dear John, the Sagittarius), and the oldest daughter seems to follow the tradition, reports today.

I should have been about eight or nine. It was the night. I don’t believe in marriage, it was a lie every oldest daughter was the first lamb for the massacre, so we all dressed as wolves and we looked fire, but I’m not a bad bitch, and it’s not a cruel, but I will never let you down, I will never leave you back, we are going back, we are now a beautiful time. Was stupid because I thought I would never find the beautiful, beautiful life that (Ah) browsing the innocent light like when we were young, every youngest child felt that they were raised in nature, but now you are at home [Chorus] Because I’m not a bad bitch and it’s not frantic, and I will never let you down, I will never omit you so many traitors, smooth operators (AH, AH), but I will never break the vow (never the vow will break), I will never leave you now (ooh)
