Taylor Swift recently shared an intimate look into her creative process, revealing a significant change in the lyrics of her song "My Boy Only Breaks His Favourite Toys" from her latest album, ''The Tortured Poets Department''
On her website, Swift released First Draft Phone Memos of the track, showing a different ending than the album version.
In the album's outro, Swift sings,
"Just say when, I'd play again. He was my best friend down at the sandlot."
However, the original phone memo featured a more poignant line:
"He was my best friend and that was the worst part."
This lyric shift transforms the song's emotional impact, offering a deeper glimpse into the heartache behind the music.
Swift explained in a past interview with iHeartRadio that the song is written from the perspective of a child's toy, metaphorically exploring the feelings of being cherished and then discarded in a relationship.
The Grammy-winning artist described the song as "a song about denial," capturing the lingering hope in a toxic relationship.
The double album ''The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology'', released on April 19, includes this track among others believed to reflect Swift's breakup with British actor Joe Alwyn.
The pair, who dated for six years, ended their relationship in April 2023, and Swift's lyrics subtly reference this period.
Fans are captivated by Swift's decision to change the lyrics, which adds a new layer of meaning to an already emotionally charged song.
The revelation offers a unique insight into Swift's songwriting process and her ability to convey deep emotions through her music.
