“I can do it with a broken heart” (track 13 on “TTPD”)

Taylor Swift, the new poet of pop, has released her eleventh album and with it a song that is so typical Taylor.

Swift is an expert at Trojan Horse songs: poignant lyrics hidden beneath a harmless, upbeat melody.

Enter “I Can Do it With a Broken Heart,” the 13th track on The Tortured Poets Department.

With fluttering synths and an electropop beat, it’s constructed like one of Swift’s signature, shiny pop gems. But the lyrics find Swift taking the most haunting psychological journey on “The Show Must Go On” since Smokey Robinson and The Miracles described “The Tears of a Clown” in 1967.

Swift reveals the heartache she hid during her historic, globe-trotting Eras Tour last year, while still being very present: “I’m a real tough kid,” Swift sings, defiant as ever. “They said, baby, you got to fake it ’til you make it… and I did.”

But the song gains momentum through the dichotomy between Swift’s honeyed voice and her spoken word, “I’m so depressed, I act like every day is my birthday.”

It’s a clever take on the complexities of mental health, and Swift, driven by boundless ambition, turns her grief into something constructive – a superwoman who doesn’t let pesky things like grief get her down.

“I cry a lot, but I’m so productive,” she chirps with a wink. “It’s an art… you know you’re good when you can make it through a broken heart.”

Lyrics to “I can do it with a broken heart”

I can read your thoughts

She is having the time of her life

There in her glittering bloom

The lights break sequin stars

From her silhouette every night

I can show you lies

Because I’m a really tough guy

I can handle my shit

They said, “Baby, you have to pretend until you make it”

And I did

Light, camera, bitchy smile

Even if you want to die

He said he would love me all his life

But this life was too short

I collapse and land on the floor

All parts of me broke

While the crowd chanted “MORE!”

I grinned as if I was going to win

I have achieved my goals

Because I can do it with a broken heart

I’m so depressed that I pretend it’s my birthday

Daily

I am so obsessed with him but he avoids me

Like the plague

I cry a lot, but I am so productive

It is an art

You know you are good if you can do it at all

With a broken heart

I can hold my breath

I’ve been doing this since he left

I always find his things in drawers

Decisive proof that I did not imagine the whole thing

I am sure I can pass this test

Because I’m a really tough kid

I can handle my shit

They said, “Baby, you have to pretend until you make it”

And I did

Light, camera, bitchy smile

In stilettos for miles

He said he would love me forever

But this time was quite short

I collapse and land on the floor

All parts of me broke

While the crowd chanted “MORE!”

I grinned as if I was going to win

I have achieved my goals

Because I can do it with a broken heart

I’m so depressed that I pretend it’s my birthday

Daily

I am so obsessed with him but he avoids me

Like the plague

I cry a lot, but I am so productive

It is an art

You know you are good if you can do it at all

With a broken heart

You know you are good if you can do it at all

With a broken heart

You know you are good

And I am fine

Because I am unhappy

And nobody knows

Try to come for my job
