Exile lyrics

[Verse 1: Bon Iver]
I can see you standing, honey
With his arms around your body
Laughing but the joke's not funny at all
And it took you five whole minutes
To pack us up and leave me with it
Holding all this love out here in the hall
 
[Chorus: Taylor Swift & Bon Iver]
I think I've seen this film before
And I didn't like the ending
You're not my homeland anymore
So what am I defending now?
You were my town
Now I'm in exile seeing you out
I think I've seen this film before
 
[Verse 2: Taylor Swift]
I can see you staring, honey
Like he's just your understudy
Like you'd get your knuckles bloody for me
Second, third, and hundredth chances
Balancing on breaking branches
Those eyes add insult to injury
 
[Chorus: Taylor Swift]
I think I've seen this film before
And I didn't like the ending
I'm not your problem anymore
So who am I offending now?
You were my crown
Now I'm in exile seeing you out
I think I've seen this film before
So I'm leaving out the side door
 
[Bridge: Bon Iver & (Taylor Swift)]
So step right out
There is no amount
Of crying I can do for you
All this time
We always walked a very thin line
You didn't even hear me out (Didn't even hear me out)
You never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)
All this time
I never learned to read your mind (Never learned to read my mind)
I couldn't turn things around (You never turned things around)
'Cause you never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)
So many signs, so many signs
You didn't even see the signs
 
[Chorus: Taylor Swift & Bon Iver & Taylor Swift]
I think I've seen this film before
And I didn't like the ending
You're not my homeland anymore
So what am I defending now?
You were my town
Now I'm in exile seeing you out
I think I've seen this film before
So I'm leaving out the side door
 
[Outro: Bon Iver & (Taylor Swift)]
So step right out
There is no amount
Of crying I can do for you
All this time
We always walked a very thin line
You didn't even hear me out (Didn't even hear me out)
You never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)
All this time
I never learned to read your mind (Never learned to read my mind)
I couldn't turn things around (You never turned things around)
'Cause you never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)
All this time
I never learned to read your mind (So many signs)
(So many signs) I couldn't turn things around
'Cause you never gave a warning sign (You never gave a warning sign)

Hello! I have a small correction; on the second chorus (where Taylor Swift sings alone) the part that says:

"I'm not your problem anymore
So what am I defending now?"

Is supposed to say:

"I'm not your problem anymore
So who am I offending now?"

This is shown in the lyric video. Thanks in advance to whoever fixes this!
