Swift - Respect The Blade lyrics

I tried to brace myself for impact But the preparation was nearly useless Almost as useless... As my earlier efforts I can't keep this inside! If you're gonna brag, don't brag on me You wish you had your hands in this But the truth is the truth, that's all And at first we weren't noticing the way you talked to us all In reverse, forced to walk upon a string in hopes that we won't fall And you plucked the young group from the heart of the hills With the promise of the world to dangle In front of her face.. his face.. her face... What if we left you behind? The tables turned, this time not me If you were half as tough as you thought you were Then you'd stand there like a man And at first we weren't noticing the way you talked to us all In reverse, forced to walk upon a string in hopes that we won't fall The look on your face A smile that never took its place It's absent, like me We'll give it to you... What if we left you behind? The tables turned, this time not me If you were half as tough... Half-a** tough I tried to brace myself I can't keep this inside! If you're gonna brag, don't brag on me You wish you had your hands in this But the truth is the truth, that's all
