Taylor Swift - Ruin The Friendship Lyrics



Taylor Swift - Ruin The Friendship Lyrics
Official




Glistening grass from September rain
Grey overpass full of neon names
You drive
85
Gallatin Road and the lakeside beach
Watching the game from your brother's Jeep
Your smile
Miles wide
And it was not
An invitation
Should've kissed you anyway
Should've kissed you anyway
And it was not
Convenient, no
But your girlfriend was away
Should've kissed you anyway, hey
Shiny wood floors underneath my feet
Disco ball makes everything look cheap
Have fun (mm-mm)
It's prom (mm-mm)
Wilted corsage dangles from my wrist
Over his shoulder, I catch a glimpse
And see (mm-mm)
You lookin' at me
And that was not
An invitation
But as the 50 Cent song played
Should've kissed you anyway (anyway)
And it was not (it was not)
Convenient (convenient)
Would've been the best mistake
Should've kissed you anyway, ay
Don't make it awkward in second period
Might piss your ex off
Lately, we've been good
Staying friends is safe, doesn't mean you should
Don't make it awkward in second period
Might piss your ex off
Lately, we've been good
Staying friends is safe, doesn't mean you should
When I left school, I lost track of you
Abigail called me with the bad news
Goodbye, and we'll never know why
It was not
An invitation
But I flew home anyway
With so much left to say
It was not
Convenient, no
But I whispered at the grave
Should've kissed you anyway
Ooh, and it was not (it was not)
An invitation (invitation)
Should've kissed you anyway
Should've kissed you anyway, anyway
And it was not
And my advice is always ruin the friendship
Better that than regret it for all time
Should've kissed you anyway
And my advice is always answer the question
Better that than to ask it all your life
Should've kissed you anyway
Should've kissed you anyway

Taylor Swift - Ruin The Friendship Video
(Show video at the top of the page)


"Ruin The Friendship" is the sixth track from Taylor Swift's twelfth studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, released on October 3, 2025, through Republic Records.

Swift announced the song's existence, along with the other eleven album tracks, on August 13, 2025, through her social media. -taylorswift.fandom.com

What starts out as a classic high school-themed love song takes quite a turn into the tragic on the bridge. Name dropping her longtime best friend, Abigail, Swift's song about the youthful indecision of "ruining the friendship" with a crush ends up being a warning to take a chance when it's revealed the love interest has died. "With so much left to say / It was not convenient, no / But I whispered at the grave / 'Should've kissed you anyway,'" Swift croons to end the bridge. Moral of the story, in the words of Swift: "My advice is always ruin the friendship / Better that than regret it for all time." -hollywoodreporter.com
