Fans are thrilled that the ‘Speak Now’ album has finally arrived. There are some great songs on the record – ‘Dear John’, ‘Better Than Revenge’, ‘Enchanted’, ‘Last Kiss’, and ‘Haunted’, are among fan favorites, but our favorite song written by Taylor Swift is ‘The Story of Us’…Lyrics (links) and video have been included below.In a very recent interview with MTV Taylor Swift divulged her writing process and the meaning behind the ‘Story of Us’. She went into great detail explaining that the song was written about the awkwardness that tends to take place between two people after they breakup.
It wasn’t too long ago that Swift was at an awards show, where a former flame was also in attendance. As a result of the two being forced to be in the same room at the same time, an uncomfortable situation arose. (Man have I been there!) But, instead of bottling it all in Taylor uses her guitar and voice as a means to release her emotions, and although the situation was ackward at the time, it lead to the creation of a brilliant song. So, kudos to her.
The only details the songstress didn’t reveal in the interview are, which ex the song was written about, and what event spawned the uncomfortable situation. I suppose she wants to keep fans guessing… Who do you think ‘The Story of Us’ is about?

Story Of Us lyrics
I used to think that one day we'd tell the story of us,
And how we met
And how the sparks flew instantly
And people would say they're the lucky ones
I used to know my place was the spot next to you,
Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat
Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on
Oh, a simple complication, Miscommunications lead to far love,
So many things I wish that you knew
So many walls that I can't break through
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know
Is it killing you
Like it's killing me?
Yeah
I don't know what to say since a twist of fate, when it all broke down
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
Next chapter
How did we end up this way?
See me nervously pulling of my clothes and trying to look busy
And you're doing your best to avoid me
I'm starting to think that one day I'll tell the story of us
Of how I was losing my mind when I saw you here
But you held your pride like you should have held me,
Oh I'm scared to see the ending why are we pretending this is nothing
I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how
I've never heard silence quite this loud.
(Chorus)
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know
Is it killing you
Like it's killing me?
Yeah
And I don't know what to say since a twist of fate, when it all broke down
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
This is looking like a contest
Of who can act like they care less
But I liked it better when you were on my side
The battles your hands now
But I would lay my armor down
If you said you'd rather love then fight
So many things you wish that I knew
But the story of us might be ending soon
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know
Is it killing you
Like it's killing me?
Yeah
And I don't know what to say since a twist of fate, when it all broke down
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
Now, Now, Now
And were not speaking,
And I'm dying to know is it killing you like it's killing me?
Yeah
And I don't know what to say since a twist of fate, cause were going down.
Cause the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
The End
