Mine by Taylor Swift is featured in The Break-Up, the fourth episode of Season Four. It is sung by Santana.
Santana looks sad as Brittany enters the choir room. They sit, and Santana says that things grew apart after her graduation and that the choir room was and still is the only place where she can stand out and express her feelings through song.
After the performance, in tears, Santana unofficially breaks up with Brittany due to the distance between them, even though she admits that she will always love Brittany the most. Brittany, also in tears, tells her that it feels like a real break-up and that she loves her too.
Lyrics[]
Santana:
You were in college working part-time waitin’ tables
Left a small town, never looked back
I was a flight risk with a fear of fallin’
Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts
I say "Can you believe it?
As we’re lying on the couch?"
The moment I can see it
Yes, yes, I can see it now
Do you remember, we were sitting there by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter
You are the best thing that’s ever been mine
Flash forward and we’re taking on the world together,
And there’s a drawer of my things at your place
You learn my secrets and you figure out why I’m guarded,
You say we’ll never make my parents’ mistakes
But we got bills to pay,
We got nothing figured out,
When it was hard to take,
Yes, yes, this is what I thought about
Do you remember, we were sitting there, by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter
You are the best thing that’s ever been mine
Do you remember all the city lights on the water?
You saw me start to believe for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter
You are the best thing that’s ever been mine
Oh, oh, oh
And I remember that fight
Two-thirty AM
When everything was slipping right out of our hands
I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street
Braced myself for the "Goodbye"
‘cause that’s all I’ve ever known
Then you took me by surprise
You said, "I’ll never leave you alone"
You said, "I remember how we felt sitting by the water
And every time I look at you, it’s like the first time
I fell in love with a careless man’s careful daughter
She is the best thing that’s ever been mine" Whoa
You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter
You are the best thing that’s ever been mine
Do you believe it?
We're gonna make it now
And I can see it
I can see it now
