Cardigan Lyrics - Tumblr Posts

I don't understand why people, mainly Taylor, pretend not to see that Augustine knew about Betty.

I mean, how could she sing "cause it was never mine" if she didn't know that James was hanging out with another girlS in plural?????

It's obvious for me that she knew about Betty. Otherwise, Inez wouldn't have told Betty about what James was doing.

And let's be honest, here EVERYONE knows that James and Betty weren't "serious" mainly because in cardigan Betty says that he was eyeing other girls, that's why she probably talks about sensual politics and the hand under her sweater. It means that James wanted physical contact, and she probably didn't give him what he wanted, so he tried to find it somewhere else.

Mirrorball, of course, is about Betty "You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes

Spinning in my highest heels, love

Shining just for you"

High heels are cited in cardigan, so it makes me think that Betty is talking about the prom night.

Mirrorball also tells us that she breaks in a million pieces, that is she's a cardigan, because when she breaks she can transform herself in whatever she needs to fit in be loved.

She also says that she can show James every version of himself, but you can only show someone all his versions knowing him very well.
