in retrospect, Folklore, Evermore, and Midnights were the chronicle of a woman feeling deep things for the first time ever while in an actual adult relationship, only to find that way too scary and retreat back to perpetual teenagedom
โSurrender to self-preservation
From others who care for themselves
A blindness that touches perfection
But hurts just like anything elseโ
