Lirik Lagu 'Bigger Than The Whole Sky' (Taylor Swift)

Baru-baru ni Taylor Swift mengeluarkan album terbaru. Seperti biasa, aku layan lagu-lagu artis kesukaan ni sebab lagu-lagunya memang easy on the ears. 

Salah satu lagu beliau yang mendapat perhatian aku ialah 'Bigger Than The Whole Sky'. Lirik-liriknya menggambarkan kehilangan anak yang dikandung sebelum sempat anak lahir ke dunia. In other words, mourning for a miscarriage.

Bukanlah bermaksud aku masih lagi bersedih dengan keguguran yang aku alami bulan lepas, cuma aku kagumi liriknya seolah-olah memahami jiwa seorang ibu yang kehilangan anak yang ditunggu-tunggu. Jom layan lagu Taylor Swift ni:

Bigger Than The Whole Sky
Taylor Swift

No words appear before me in the aftermath

Salt streams out my eyes and into my ears

Every single thing I touch becomes sick with sadness

'Cause it's all over now, all out to sea

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

You were bigger than the whole sky

You were more than just a short time

And I've got a lot to pine about

I've got a lot to live without

I'm never gonna meet

What could've been, would've been

What should've been you

What could've been, would've been you

Did some bird flap its wings over in Asia?

Did some force take you because I didn't pray?

Every single thing to come has turned into ashes

'Cause it's all over, it's not meant to be

So I'll say words I don't believe

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

You were bigger than the whole sky

You were more than just a short time

And I've got a lot to pine about

I've got a lot to live without

I'm never gonna meet

What could've been, would've been

What should've been you

What could've been, would've been

What should've been you

(What could've been, would've been)

What could've been, would've been you

(Could've been, would've been)

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

You were bigger than the whole sky

You were more than just a short time

And I've got a lot to pine about

I've got a lot to live without

I'm never gonna meet

What could've been, would've been

What should've been you.
