Taylor Swift - If This Was A Movie Lyrics Meaning

This song is about someone that Taylor loved. She still loves him and wants him, but knows he's gone (6 months gone and I'm still reaching, even though I know you're not there). Lately, she been going back to when she had him (I was playin' back a thousand memories baby, thinking 'bout everything we've been through. Maybe I've been going back too much lately, to when time stood still, and I had you). In the chorus, she's asking him to come back to her like he would if this was a movie. He could come back if he said he's sorry, and they could work out the problem. Then she says that if this was a movie, he'd already be there with her. The second verse is about how she knows this stuff happens, but she still remembers how it was. Now she flashes back to when he told her nothing would change, and then goes into the chorus again. The bridge is just repeating that she wants him back until the part "And I'll say come back, come back, come back to me like you would before you said it's not that easy." She recognizes that it isn't just as easy as coming back (for him, anyway). So, she tells him again that she misses him and wants him to return, but ultimately, she realizes that life isn't a movie, and he isn't coming back.
