Swift, Taylor - Brought Up That Way Lyrics






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 the day
They put her 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

    I love this so much! You have such a wonderful voice! I was feeling very discouraged because I tuned my guitar upside down and found out I was playing upside down for over a year and I was wondering what I was doing wrong and I spent so many hours working on my guitar only to be playing it wrong... I was feeling really down and motivated but after hearing your amazing guitar and playing I feel inspired to try to do it better this time! I decided to share this just because I wanted to say that not only did I love your voice but it actually fueled some more of my motivation! You have a very heavenly, angelic voice and I love your cover so much! You belong on a show like The X Factor, America's Got Talent, The Voice, or American Idol.

    Traducción en Espanol

    Emily viene a casa desde la escuela
    Tomada de la mano de su papá
    Él dice "Nena ¿Qué esta mal contigo?"
    Ella dice, por favor no me hagas volver ahí otra vez

    Ella dice, "Desearía que hubiera alguna manera de hacer que ellos paren"
    Así que él conduce a la oficina del director y dice

    "Yo no la traje aqui, para que pudieran humillarla"
    "Yo no la traje aqui, para que pudieran humillarla"
    Viviré el resto de mi vida para ver a esa pequeña niña sonreír
    Entonces ¿Por qué hay lagrimas cayendo sobre esa dulce cara?
    Ella no fue traída para eso

    Emily llega tarde a casa otra vez
    Él ve ese chico conducir lejos
    Oh, pero algo es diferente está vez
    Ella no tiene mucho que decir...

    Ella dice, "Lo intento pero hay algunas cosas que no haré"
    Y atravez de lágrimas ella dice "No podría hacerte eso a ti"

    Y él dice, "Yo no te traje para que él pudieran humillarte
    Toma ese inocente corazón y ponlo dentro
    Viviré el resto de mi vida para ver a esa pequeña niña sonreír
    Así que no dejes que nadie se lleve eso lejos...
    Tú no fuiste traida para eso."

    El teléfono suena en una noche lluviosa
    Dice "Es el oficial Tate"
    Él dice, señor aquí hubo un accidente
    Será mejor que venga aquí rápido


    Un conductor borracho se pasó el alto
    Y Emily se está llendo rápido", él dice

    Dios yo no la traje aquí para verla tendida...
    Casi me muero el día en que pusieron a su mamá en la tierra
    Sólo una cosa me mantuvo vivo y fue la sonrisa de esa pequeña niña
    Entonces, por favor, no te la lleves lejos"

    Yo será fácil tomarla hoy.
    Ella no fue traída para eso

    Él espera en la cama del hospital
    Emily abre los ojos.
