Brought Up That Way Lyrics - Singles - Taylor Swift

Emily comes home from school 

Grabs onto here daddy's hand 

He says baby girl, what's wrong with you? 

She says, please don't make me go back there again 

She said, I wish there was some way to make them stop it 

So he drives down to the principal's office and says 

I didn't bring her up, so they could cut her down 

I didn't bring her here, so they could shut her out 

I lived my whole damn life, to see that little girl smile 

So why are tears, pouring down that sweet face? 

See wasn't brought up that way 

Emily's home late again 

He sees that boy drive away 

Oh but something's different this time 

She doesn't have too much to say

Prime Day concert by Amazon Music will be headlined by Taylor Swift 

She said, he tried but there's just some things I won't do 

And through the tears she said, I couldn't do that to you 

And he said, I didn't bring you up, so he could wear you down 

Take that innocent heart, and turn it inside out 

I lived my whole damn life, to see my little girl smile 

So don't let nobody take that away 

You weren't brought up that way 

The phone rings on a rainy night 

Says it's Officer Tate 

He said, sir there's been an accident 

You better come down here right away 

A drunken driver missed an overpass 

And Emily's she's fading fast, he's says 

God I didn't bring her up, to watch them lay her down 

Nearly killed me the day they put her mama in the ground 

Only thing kept me alive was that little girl's smile 

So please, don't take that away 

Photos 

It won't be easy taking her today 

She wasn't brought up that way 

He stands over the hospital bed 

Emily opens her eyes
