He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Look at the lyrical talent. Just straight tight.Em and 50 droppin bombs on ya bitch.Em goes fuckin off in this one can't wait to hear how much better he's gonna get.

Eminem's part rocks, but 50s flow is so terrible that I want to light myself on fire. "I split yo lip, You lookin like them Michael Jack-Son Jackets, with all them zippers"? Jeez. Why don't you just shoot me nine times right now...
"I split yo lip You lookin like them Michael Jack-Son Jackets Wit all them zippers"
Should say...
"Ill split ya leave ya lookin like them Michael Jacson jackets. With all them zippers."
This song is full tilt testosterone. Its macho bullsh-t, but it sounds really cool!
I love 50 cent, I listen to all sort of rap, my favorite is rappers like "A triibe called quest" "Nas (Old shit) and of course em, what im trying to say is im tired of people putting 50 cent down, even though he wont ever be as good as the rappers I have listed, he is way better then the rappers coming out today, and this song is awesome. PS- even though 50's flow was nice, kinda feel bad for him, em killed this track

the lyrics are soo clever. 50 CENT AND EMINEM ARE GENIUSes
