The Great War
Taylor Swift
CAPO ON FRET 3 [VERSE 1] My knuckles were bruised like violets Suckerpunching walls cursed you as I sleep talked Spineless in my tomb of silence Tore your banners down took the battle underground And maybe it was egos swinging Maybe it was her Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur [CHORUS] All that blood shed crimson clover Uhuh sweet dream was over My hand was the one you reached for All throughout the Great War Always remember uhuh tears on the lettеr I vowed not to cry anymore If we survived thе Great War [VERSE 2] You drew up some good faith treaties I drew curtains closed drank my poison all alone You said I have to trust more freely But diesel is desire you were playing with fire And maybe it’s the past that’s talking Screaming from a crypt Telling me to punish you for things you never did So I justified it [CHORUS] All that blood shed crimson clover Uhuh the bombs were close and My hand was the one you reached for All throughout the Great War Always remember uhuh the burning embers I vowed not to fight anymore If we survived thе Great War [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK] Uh-huh Uh-huh [BRIDGE] It turned into something bigger Somewhere in the haze got a sense I’ve been betrayed Your finger on my hair pin triggers Soldier down on that icy ground looked up at me with honour and truth Broken and blue so I called off the troops That was the night I nearly lost you I really thought I lost you [VERSE 3] We can plant a memory garden Say a solemn prayer place a poppy in my hair There’s no morning glory it was war it wasn’t fair And we will never go back [CHORUS] To that blood shed crimson clover Uhuh the worst was over My hand was the one you reached for All throughout the Great War Always remember uhuh we’re burned for better I vowed I would always be yours Cause we survived thе Great War Uhuh uhuh I will always be yours ’Cause we survived the Great War Uhuh I vowed I will always be yours
