'Back To December' Lyrics - Taylor Swift

Back to December, a sad love song.

Lyrics of Back to December Lyrics - 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,
Standing in front of you, saying, "I'm sorry for that night,"
And I go back to December all the time.

It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you.
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine.
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right.
I go back to December all the time.

These days I haven't been sleeping,
Staying up, playing back myself leavin'.
When your birthday passed and I didn't call.

And I think about summer, all the beautiful times,
I watched you laughing 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,
Standing in front of you, saying, "I'm sorry for that night."
And I go back to December all the time.

It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you.
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine.
I'd 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 thinking,
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,
Standing in front of you, saying, "I'm sorry for that night."
And I go back to December.

It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you.
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine.
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right.
I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind

I go back to December all the time.
All the time.

Taylor Swift Goes ‘Back to December’ to Apologize to Ex

Taylor Swift is known for writing about former flames - and calling them out on their transgressions - in songs like 'You're Not Sorry, Picture to Burn, Should Have Said No, Forever & Always, White Horse, etc.' But now the singer is turning the tables and putting the blame on herself, in her first-ever apology song, 'Back to December.'

"'Back to December' is a song that addresses a first for me, in that I've never apologized to someone in a song before," she tells Comcast. "Whether good or bad or an apology, the person I wrote this song about deserves this. This is about a person who was incredible to me, just perfect to me in our relationship, and I was really careless with him. This is a song full of words that I would say to him."

Taylor says she knows people are curious about her personal life, but in spite of selling millions of albums and performing in front of massive sold-out crowds, she is actually a very private person in her real life. "I feel so comfortable singing about these details and these relationships and listing times, dates, details, names," she adds. "But when it comes to an interview and they say, 'Are you dating this person?' or 'Did you date this person?' or 'What's your current relationship status?' I suddenly feel very shy."
