Kanye West music is my guilty pleasure. I know, I know. I am ashamed of my love for the beats and verses created by such a grade-A douchebag, but I simply cannot help it. Ever since the days of Through the Wire, I have continued to enjoy the music that Kanye West makes and find myself connecting to it. And though I will always remain #TeamSwift, I thought I would share some of the Kanye West lyrics that I find really powerful.

10. “If spring can take the snow away
Can it melt away all of our mistakes
Memories made in the coldest winter
Goodbye my friend I won’t ever love again”

- Coldest Winter

9. “Close your eyes and let the word paint a thousand pictures
One good girl is worth a thousand bitches”

- Bound 2

8. “You run and tell your friends that you’re leaving me
They say that they don’t see what you see in me
You wait a couple months then you gonna see
You’ll never find nobody better than me”

- Heartless

7. “The more they talk about our love
The more they make it obvious
The more they seem envious
How can they talk about our love
When they don’t know one thing about (us)
Instead they just running they mouth
So all we do is tune them out”

- Talk About Our Love

6. I-I-I-I did it, all right, all right, I admit it
Now pick your next move, you could leave or live with’ it”

- Runaway

5. “I got the right
To put up a fight
But not quite
Cause you cut off my light
But my sight
Is better tonight
And I might see you in my nightmare
Oh how’d you’d get there
Cause we were once a fairy tale
But this is farewell”

- See You In My Nightmares

4. “On a bathroom wall I wrote
‘I’d rather argue with you than to be with someone else’
I took a piss and dismiss it like fuck it and I went and found somebody else
Fuck arguing or harvesting the feelings, I’d rather be by my fucking self
Till about 2am and I call back and I hang up and start to blame myself
Somebody help”

- Blame Game

3. “I’m not lovin you, the way I wanted to
I bet no one knew, I got no one new
I know I said I’m through, but got love for you
But I’m not lovin’ you, the way I wanted to”

- Love Lockdown

2. “We have problems but thats all in the past
Everybody got problems baby I got a past
Remember I used to do things that would make you laugh
Like ordering girl drinks in a masculine glass”

- White Dress

1. “Never was much of a romantic,
I could never take the intimacy.
And I know I did damage,
‘Cause the look in your eyes is killing me,
I guess you’ve got another advantage
‘Cause you could blame me for everything.
And I don’t know how I’m a manage,
If one day you just up and leave”

- Runaway
