00:00 [Music]
00:10 Once upon a time, I believe it was a twosome and I caught your eye
00:15 And we caught on to something, I hold on to the night
00:19 You looked me in the eye and told me you loved me
00:24 Were you just kidding? 'Cause it seems to me
00:27 This thing is breaking down, we almost never speak
00:30 I don't feel welcome anymore, baby, what happened?
00:33 Please tell me 'cause one second it was perfect
00:36 Now you're halfway out the door
00:39 And I stare at the phone, you still hasn't called
00:44 And then you feel some love you can't feel nothing at all
00:48 And you flash back to when he said, "Forever and always"
00:54 Oh, oh, oh, and it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong
00:59 It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
01:03 'Cause I was there when you said, "Forever and always"
01:10 Was I out of line? Did I say something way too honest?
01:14 Made you run and hide like a scared little boy
01:17 I looked into your eyes, but I knew you for a minute
01:21 I was not so sure
01:25 So here's to everything coming down to nothing
01:29 Here's to silence that cuts into the core
01:33 Where is this going? I knew for a minute
01:37 But I don't anymore
01:40 And I stare at the phone, you still hasn't called
01:44 And then you feel some love you can't feel nothing at all
01:48 And you flash back to when he said, "Forever and always"
01:54 Oh, oh, oh, and it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong
01:59 It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
02:03 'Cause I was there when you said, "Forever and always"
02:09 Does it mean it, baby?
02:11 There are a few things that I really just love doing on stage.
02:14 Halfway through the song, I start to sort of lose my mind
02:17 and throw a gigantic temper tantrum and, like, go insane.
02:21 And it ends up scaring the interviewer off.
02:24 She runs offstage.
02:26 [screaming]
02:29 I stand up, hit a high note, and then throw the interviewer's chair
02:36 off of the giant platform on the stage.
02:39 You know, throwing a chair every night is sort of like anger management.

03:54 In the part where I get really sad, one of the nights at the beginning of the tour,
03:57 I ended up putting my hand out, and this girl grabbed my hand.
04:01 And then all of a sudden I started feeling all of these girls grabbing my hand,
04:04 and it was just this moment of, they were kind of comforting me,
04:09 and it's a really vulnerable and emotional part of the song,
04:12 and I feel it every time I sing it.
04:15 So for them to be holding my hand was really nice,
04:18 it made me feel a little better,
04:20 and so I just started putting my hand out every night,
04:23 and there's something really, really cool for me in that connection.
04:28 Holding somebody's hand is such a personal thing,
04:31 and I really like that part of the show every night.

05:00 With every breakup, there's that initial jolt of anger,
05:04 where you want to throw a chair, but then the reality underneath all of that
05:08 is that you're really, really sad,
05:10 and you always end up kind of kneeling on the floor,
05:14 realizing that you just wish that you could back up the whole scenario
05:21 and just make it end differently.
