Nothing New (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault)

They tell you while you're young
"Girls, go out and have your fun"
Then they hunt and slay the ones
Who actually do it
Criticize the way you fly
When you're soarin' through the sky
Shoots you down
And then they sigh and say
"She looks like she's been through it"
Lord, what will become of me
Once I've lost my novelty?
I've had too much to drink tonight
And I know it's sad
But this is what I think about
And I wake up in the middle of the night
It's like I can feel time moving
How can a person know everything
At eighteen but nothin' at twenty-two?
And will you still want me when I'm nothin' new?

How long will it be cute
All this cryin' in my room
Whеn you can't blame it on my youth
And roll your eyes with affеction?
And my cheeks are growin' tired
From turnin' red and fakin' smiles
Are we only bidin' time
'Til I lose your attention?
And someone else lights up the room
People love an ingénue
I've had too much to drink tonight
How did I go from growin' up
To breakin' down and I
Wake up (wake up)
In the middle of the night
It's like I can feel time moving
How can a person know everything
At eighteen but nothing at twenty-two?
And will you still want me when I'm nothin' new?

I know someday I'm gonna meet her
It's a fever dream
The kind of radiance you only
Have at seventeen she'll know the way
And then she'll say she got the map from me
I'll say I'm happy for her, then
I'll cry myself to sleep
Oh, oh, woah
Oh, oh, oh, woah
I've had (I've had) too much to drink tonight
But I wonder if they'll miss me
Once they drive me out
I wake up (wake up)
In the middle of the night
And I can feel time moving
How can a person know everything
At eighteen but nothing at twenty-two?
And will you still want me
Will you still want me
Will you still want me
When I'm nothin' new?
