Some bad blood, after all? Taylor Swift released a brand new song on a deluxe version of Midnights — which seemingly hints at the reasons behind her split from ex Joe Alwyn.
The vault track — which is aptly titled “You’re Losing Me” — is only available on certain physical copies of Midnights (Till Dawn Version) and will be exclusively released at the first of the 33-year-old pop star’s three Eras Tour concerts in East Rutherford, New Jersey, which kick off on Friday, May 26.
The Grammy winner announced the extended album on Wednesday, May 24 — and fans immediately began to speculate whether the new song would touch on Swift’s breakup with Alwyn, 32. The exes were together for nearly six years before Us Weekly confirmed their split in April.
“You say, ‘I don’t understand’ and I say, ‘I know you don’t’ / We thought a cure would come through in time / Now, I fear it won’t,” Swift begins in the emotional ballad’s first verse according to Genius, seemingly referring to a breakdown in communication in her relationship. “Remember lookin’ at this room, we loved it ’cause of the light / Now, I just sit in the dark and wonder if it’s time.”
By the chorus, the 1989 songstress hints that her “heart won’t beat anymore” for her lover, as a real heartbeat can be heard thumping in the background.
The second verse seemingly features Swift begging for her partner to see her pain. “I glared at you with storms in my eyes / How can you say that you love someone you can’t tell is dying?” she asks. “I sent you signals and bit my nails down to the quick / My face was gray, but you wouldn’t admit that we were sick.
