《Tear drops on My Guitar》的创作灵感来源于泰勒·斯威夫特在高中时期的一段暗恋经历,该曲是写给自己的中学时期的同学德鲁·哈德威克的,在中学时两人关系非常好。但是,当泰勒·斯威夫特喜欢上德鲁·哈德威克时,德鲁·哈德威克却又喜欢上了别的女生,德鲁·哈德威克每天都和泰勒·斯威夫特聊那个女生是多么的好,自己又是多么的喜欢那个女生。泰勒·斯威夫特不敢向德鲁·哈德威克透露她的感情,只能默默地听着,强颜欢笑,暗自垂泪。对于有过这次暗恋经历的泰勒来说,这首歌曲触动着她的心,因此她创造出了这首歌曲。

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see

That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be

I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about

And she's got everything that I have to live without

Drew talks to me, I laugh cuz it's just so funny

That I can't even see anyone when he's with me

He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right,

I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar

The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star

He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?

And there he goes, so perfectly

The kind of flawless I wish I could be

I'll put his picture down and maybe

Get some sleep tonight
今晚能多睡一会
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar

The only one who's got enough for me to break my heart

And he's all that I need to fall into
