This is definitely one of my favorite songs off of Red, it's one that shows just how poetic Taylor is and it brings her skills to life. This song is about love and how it's a game that you play hints: " love is a ruthless game unless you play it good and right" love ends in two ways , you either end up hurt or you end up happy . Taylor has said that she thinks love doesnt last forever , it only lasts until it breaks or just fades . "We fall in love till it hurts or bleeds , or fades in time". This song is also said to be about Jake gyllenhall (her ex boyfriend, who she has wrote many songs about) . Taylor is a Sagittarius and so is Jake which is why " twin fire signs, four blue eyes " saying that they have the same sign and of course they both have blue eyes . This relationship failed on both of their behalf , Taylor tends to use colors as a metaphor a lot in red which brings up another lyric " so you were never a saint and I loved in shades of wrong , we learn to live with the pain mosaic broken hearts" stating that Jake had his faults but so did she. They eventually learned to live with the pain their pasts caused them. Mosaic broken hearts is two cracked pieces that fit together which describes them two as whole . At the end Taylor says " and I never saw you coming , and I'll never be the same" pretty self explanatory, but she is saying it was unexpected yet it changed her . Which she has mentioned in her song " All Too Well" another song about Jake on red . " I'd like to be my old self again but I'm still trying to find it "

I hoped that help some of you who were confused about the meaning .
