Brought Up That Way - Taylor Swift


 Emily comes home from school,
 Grabs onto her 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
 That principles 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 live my whole damn life
 To see that little girl's smile
 So why are tears pouring down that sweet face?
 She 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
 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 live my whole damn life
 To see my little girl's 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 over pass,
 And Emily, she's fading fast"

 He says "God, I didn't bring her up
 To watch them lay her down
 Nearly killed me today,
 They put her own momma in the ground
 Only thing that kept me alive,
 Was that little girl's smile
 So please don't take that away,
 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
