[Taylor Swift - The Great War lyrics]

My knuckles were bruised like violets
Sucker punching walls
Cursed you as I sleep talked
Spineless in my tomb of silence
Tore your banners down
Took the battle underground
And maybe it was egos swinging
Maybe it was her
Flashes of the battle come back
To me in a blur

All that bloodshed, crimson clover
Uh huh, sweet dream was over
My hand was the one you reached for
All throughout the Great War always remember
Uh huh, tears on the lеtter
I vowed not to cry anymore
If wе survived the Great War

You drew up some good faith treaties
I drew curtains closed
Drank my poison all alone
You said I have to trust more freely
But diesel is desire
You were playing with fire
And maybe it's the past that's talking
Screaming from the crypt
Telling me to punish you for
Things you never did so I justified it

All that bloodshed, crimson clover
Uh huh, the bombs were closer
My hand was the one you reached for
All throughout the Great War always remember
Uh huh, the burning embers
I vowed not to fight anymore
If we survived the Great War

Uh huh, uh huh

It turned into something bigger
Somewhere in the haze
Got a sense I'd been betrayed
Your finger on my hairpin triggers
Soldier down on that icy ground
Looked up at me with honor and truth
Broken and blue, so I called off the troops
That was the night I nearly lost you
I really thought I'd lost you

We can plant a memory garden
Say a solemn prayer, place a poppy in my hair
There's no morning glory, it was war
It wasn't fair and we will never go back

To that bloodshed, crimson clover
Uh huh, the worst was over
My hand was the one you reached for
All throughout the Great War always remember
Uh huh, we're burned for better
I vowed I would always be yours
'Cause we survived the Great War

Uh huh, uh huh i will always be yours
'Cause we survived the Great War uh huh
I vow I will always be yours
