Taylor Swift Who I've Always Been Lyrics

You walk in here with your guitar man
Shiny boots and your full on band
Smile on your face and a knife your hand
Singing songs you got memorized
With what ever talent money buys
So polished that it slips right through your hands
But don't ruin yourself I ain't your competition
Don't flatter yourself that was never my intention

I wanna talk about what you are I ain't
Let's talk about what you do that I can't
Let's talk about me and you and an empty room and who wins
Let's talk about what you did to get here
Let's talk about blood and sweat and tears
Let's talk about what you wanna be and who I've always been

I walk in here with a beat up case, the same guitar I've always played
And the words I wrote down on a page,
When I was 12 years old and small town raised
You tell the crowd you're payin dues, I've tell them this is what I do
And it's what I put my life into, as I breathe the smoke and cheap perfume
They say life on music row is rough conditions
Oh, but the easy ride was never my ambition

Wanna talk about it what you are I ain't
Let's talk about what you do that I can't
Let's talk about me and you and an empty room and who wins
Let's talk about what you did to get here
Let's talk about blood and sweat and tears
Let's talk about what you wanna be and who I've always been

Let's talk about your child hood days
You were the prom queen, I was on this stage
So where's that crown gotten you these days
When it's me and you and the same damn games
So what have you got that I ain't
What do you do that I can't
Let's put me and you in an empty room and see who wins
Let's talk about what you did to get here
Let's talk about blood and sweat and tears
Let's talk about what you wanna be girl, and who I've always been
who I've always been
