The Way I Loved You (Taylor’s Version)

About this song

Swift explained the idea behind the track in 2010. It is a companion to "Haunted," from her 2010 album Speak Now, which uses a similar concept.

What it's about

The song is about being with someone who seems right for the singer, yet feeling nothing, because her thoughts keep returning to a former partner who was complicated, messy and frustrating. The passion she had with that ex is what she misses.
