Taylor Swift's 'Love Story' was the soundtrack to a 13 year old me. Here's a version a little more suited to 23 year old me.
Ps. T Swift is a queen and an incredible songwriter - this is just a different narrative of her already incredible and timeless song.

LYRICS:
We’re so young when we first hear stories
Of falling in love and happy endings
Unaware that fairytales ain’t always fair
All the lies, the fighting, the fallouts
You're someone who stands out in the crowd
Yet here you are, with another broken heart
'Cause he was just another disappointment
And my dad always said to me that there’s no point in
Crying over someone willing to let you go
He said
Juliet trust me you’ll be better off alone
Stop waiting for somebody else's love
Don’t need a prince when you’re already a queen
Write your own story where baby you are the lead
You sneak down to the kitchen, it’s dark out
‘Cause ice cream always heals a broken heart
Don’t dry your eyes
Just be sad for a little while
And I promise you that it will get better
And my dad always said to me that time’s a healer
Pain doesn’t last forever
You’ll let them go
And he said
Juliet trust me you’ll be better off alone
Stop waiting for somebody else's love
Don’t need a prince when you’re already a queen
Write your own story where baby you're the lead
Juliet trust me, i won’t tell you how to feel
Love is difficult, this hurt is real
But don’t be afraid to set yourself free and
Write your own story where baby you are the lead
Stop with the self hating
Cause’ I can see it's keeping you down
Your faith in love is fading
But someone else is coming around
And they’ll say
"Juliet trust me I know that you’ve been alone
I’ll be here when you're ready for someone
don’t need a prince when you’re already a queen
Got your own story, you’re making history
Juliet choose me
I think you could be the one
I’ll be your future, if that's what you want
I’m not a prince but I’d treat you like queen
Write our own story
The way you want it to be
Oh and you can still be the lead"
It's never too late to write your story
