A few mistakes ago
I was in your sights
You got me alone
You found me
You found me
You found me
I guess you didn’t care
And I guess I liked that
And when I fell hard
You took a step back
Without me
Without me
Without me
When he’s next to me
And I realize
The blame is on me
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I’d never been
‘Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So, shame on me now
Flew me to places I’d never been
Now I’m lyin’ on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble
He’ll never see you cry
Pretends he doesn’t know
That he’s the reason why
You’re drowning
You’re drowning
You’re drowning
And I heard you moved on
From whispers on the street
A new notch in your belt
Is all I’ll ever be
And now I see
Now I see
Now I see
When he met me
And I realize
The joke is on me, hey
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I’d never been
‘Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I’d never been, yeah
Now I’m lyin’ on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh (yeah)
Trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble
Comes creepin’ in
That you never loved me
Or her
Or anyone
Or anything
Yeah
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I’d never been (never been)
‘Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in (knew it right there)
So shame on me now (knew it right there)
Flew me to places I’d never been
(Ooh) now I’m lyin’ on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble (oh)
Oh, oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble
Lagu ini bercerita tentang patah hati karena jatuh cinta pada orang yang salah. Taylor menggambarkan situasi di mana dia sudah tahu sejak awal bahwa orang tersebut akan menyakitinya, tetapi tetap memilih untuk mencintainya. Pada akhirnya, dia merasa terluka, kecewa, dan menyesal.
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Taylor tahu pria itu “bermasalah” sejak awal — mungkin tidak setia, manipulatif, atau tidak serius — tetapi dia tetap melanjutkan hubungan itu.
So shame on me now
Dia menyalahkan dirinya sendiri karena membiarkan semuanya terjadi.
Now I’m lying on the cold hard ground
Ini adalah metafora untuk patah hati yang sangat menyakitkan.
Kesimpulan
“I Knew You Were Trouble” bukan sekadar lagu tentang patah hati, tapi juga tentang kesadaran diri dan pertumbuhan emosional. Taylor Swift menggambarkan bagaimana pengalaman buruk dalam cinta bisa membentuk kita menjadi lebih kuat, meskipun menyakitkan.
