And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (oh)
Said, "I'm fine, " but it wasn't true
I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you
And I snuck in through the garden gate
Every night that summer just to seal my fate (oh)
And I screamed for whatever it's worth
"I love you, " ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Itulah penjelasan mengenai makna lagu Cruel Summer. Lagu ini menjadi bukti kemampuan Taylor Swift dalam merajut cerita melalui musiknya, dan menjadi salah satu lagu favorit para penggemarnya.
