Patient Zero Lyrics

by Taylor Swift

If you wanna party with somebody who might know About the devil on his shoulder under his halo When the toxins take their hold, you'd rather die than let it go But if you’re sick of him, I got you, I was patient zero I've gotta be honest, I've been expecting your call No, it’s not a bad time at all I heard somebody saying there's trouble in paradise And my lips are sealed tight now It's not for me to tell Someone else what to do But if you wanna party with somebody who might know About the devil on his shoulder under his halo When the toxins take their hold, you'd rather die than let it go But if you're sick of him, I got you, I was patient zero I bet he burst into your life like fireworks I bet he even said "I love you" first And when you saw another woman coming out of his place I bet he kissed the rain off your face Now he seems bored by you And you don't know what to do But if you wanna party with somebody who might know About the devil on his shoulder under his halo When the toxins take their hold, you'd rather die than let it go But if you're sick of him, I got you, I was patient zero I was patient zero So let’s get into it I know he charmed your family and friends And you thought it’s 'cause he loves you But it’s 'cause he loves how everybody else loves him I know it seems like he shines so bright But he's bathing in your reflected light On a free solo social climb Take it from somebody who lost his games but won the race Take it from someone who said all of this to his face Someone who knows she's more than just the chase Someone who had him and walked away And so If you wanna party with somebody who might know About the devil on his shoulder under his halo When the toxins take their hold, you’d rather die than let it go But if you're sick of him, I got you, I was patient zero So if you wanna kick it, then I'm with it, I've been there Felt the reeling, done the healing, said the curses and prayers When the fever turns a dreamer into a pathetic ghost If he's killing you, I see you I was patient zero, oh
