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 a 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 as half as tough as I thought you were 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 it's place
It's absent like me (x4)

We'll give it to you (x12)

What if we left you behind?
The tables turned, this time not me
If you were as half as tough
Half assed tough as I thought you were
I can't hold 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
