《White Horse》的创作灵感来源于泰勒·斯威夫特的一个前男友，具体原因是，泰勒在之前认为她的这位男朋友是自己的白马王子，但是当她发现她的这个男朋友脚踏两条船后，便向他提出分手。这首歌主要写的是泰勒在接受这段感情已经结束了的事实时的心情。泰勒说她本来是准备把这首歌放进第三张专辑《Speak Now》里的，但在后来因为《实习医生格蕾》一剧提前出现在《Fearless》里。

So you're sorry

that face of an angel

comes out just when you need it to

and I paced back and forth all this time

cause I honestly believed in you

holding on

and days track on

stupid girl,

I should have known, I should have known

I am not a princes, this ain't a fairy tale

I'm not the one to sweep off her feet,

Lead her up the stairwell

This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town,

I was a dreamer before you went and let me down

Now it too late for you and your white horse, to come around

Baby I was naive,

and lost in your eyes

and never really had a chance

I had so many dreams

about you and me

happy endings

now I know

I am not a princes, this ain't a fairy tale

I'm not the one to sweep off her feet,

Lead her up the stairwell

This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town,

I was a dreamer before you went and let me down

Now it too late for you and your white horse, to come around

now you are on your knees

Begging for forgiveness, begging for me

Just like I always wanted but I'm sooo sorry

Cause I'm not your princess, this ain't a fairytale

I'm gonna find someone somewhere

who might actually treat me well

This is a big world, that was a small town

there in my rearview mirror disappears now

and its too late for you and your white horse

now its too late for you and your white horse

to catch me now

O whoa whoa whoaaa try and catch me now

Ooh

it's too late

to catch me now
