So you know “So tell me everything is not about me/But what if it is?” in “Who’s Afraid Of Little Old Me?” by Taylor Swift? I don’t think it’s her being entitled—rather, someone said something hurtful and then when she confronted them, they said something like “Jeez, calm down. It wasn’t even about you—last I checked, this planet revolves around the sun, not you,” and she’s questioning if it was about her after all (when their response to confrontation is something like that, it was absolutely about you).

Breath of fresh air through smoke rings
Take the glory, give everything
Promise to be dazzling”

I would’ve died for your sins
Instead I just died inside
And you deserve prison
But you won’t get time

I’m addicted to the “if only” so
I look in people’s windows
like I’m some deranged weirdo
I attend Christmas parties from outside

I loved your hostile takeovers
Encounters closer and closer
All your indecent exposures
