The Great War Song Lyrics by Taylor Swift
My knuckles were bruised like violetsSucker punching walls, cursed you as I sleep-talkedSpineless in my tomb of silenceTore your banners down, took the battle undergroundAnd maybe it was ego swingingMaybe it was herFlashes of the battle come back to me in a blur
All that bloodshed, crimson cloverUh-huh, sweet dream was overMy hand was the one you reached forAll throughout the Great WarAlways rememberUh-huh, tears on the letterI vowed not to cry anymoreIf we survived the Great War
You drew up some good faith treatiesI drew curtains closed, drank my poison all aloneYou said I have to trust more freelyBut diesel is desire, you were playin’ with fireAnd maybe it’s the past that’s talkin’Screamin’ from the cryptTellin’ me to punish you for things you never didSo I justified it
All that bloodshed, crimson cloverUh-huh, the bombs were close andMy hand was the one you reached forAll throughout the Great WarAlways rememberUh-huh, the burning embersI vowed not to fight anymoreIf we survived the Great War
Uh-huhUh-huh
It turned into something biggerSomewhere in the haze, got a sense I’d been betrayedYour finger on my hair pin triggersSoldier down on that icy groundLooked up at me with honor and truthBroken and blue, so I called off the troopsThat was the night I nearly lost youI really thought I lost you
We can plant a memory gardenSay a solemn prayer, place a poppy in my hairThere’s no morning glory, it was war, it wasn’t fairAnd we will never go back
To that bloodshed, crimson cloverUh-huh, the worst was overMy hand was the one you reached forAll throughout the Great WarAlways rememberUh-huh, we’re burned for betterI vowed I would always be yours‘Cause we survived the Great War
Uh-huhUh-huhI would always be yours‘Cause we survived the Great WarUh-huhI vowed I would always be your
