The telling lyrics: “This love is good, this love is bad / This love is alive back from the dead, oh-oh, oh / These hands had to let it go free, and / This love came back to me, oh-oh, oh,” “Your kiss, my cheek / I watched you leave / Your smile, my ghost / I fell to my knees / When you’re young, you just run / But you come back to what you need”
The secret message behind the song: “Timing is a funny thing.”
Why it’s about Harry Styles: In 2022, Swift released the remastered version of this track, titled “This Love (Taylor’s Version),” as part of her efforts to reclaim her earlier work amid an ongoing fight for ownership of her masters. The track, solely written by Swift, ponders on a love that was great when it lasted and the haunting aftermath of letting this person go because they’re not quite on the same page despite deeply caring about one another.
“It’s about kind of an experience I had where if you truly care about someone and you know they’re not ready to be in a relationship, you will let them go. And it sucks to be the one who has to let something go and cut someone loose when you don’t want to. But I think you have to be selfless in relationships when you know that it’s not the right time,” Swift said in her Big Machine Radio commentary for “This Love.”
She went on to add that this person supposedly came back into her life when the time was right. “And if you make that decision and that person is supposed to be in your life, they’ll come back. And this was the way I felt when that came back around.”
