I think this wasn't made for the Speak Now album, but it was supposed to be a soundtrack for the "Hunger Games" Movie back in 2012. Since they started recording/writing songs from 2010-2011. This track was probably scrapped at the end since there was probably no more tracks "fitting" for the movie. I guess this got replaced by Eyes Open since both of them have the same vibe.
The first shots fired, everybody's gathered around You're looking at me like I tried to take you down No, no, it's not what happened at all There's no sound, I'm waiting on your next move A showdown and I know where to hit you But no, no, it's not how I wanted this to go down Now we're standing in the ring And you make the first swing And now we're fighting dirty Won't somebody come say: Break it up? And I used to be on your side Now it's looking like we're going to battle And why you're taking shots at me like Somebody's gonna give you a medal? And I never wanna hurt you But I'm tired of taking all these blows And so I'd rather be on your side But if you wanna fight Baby, let's go, oh, oh Let's go, oh, oh So gloves off, if this is how you want it We had it all, but you couldn't keep a promise No, no, I'm not the one who tore us apart Let me remind you for a minute why we're not fine Is she here? Is she's standing on the sidelines? Oh, oh, can't you tell this is breaking my heart? Now we're standing in the ring And you make the first swing And now I'm fighting dirty But I ain't going down till they break it up And I used to be on your side Now it's looking like we're going to battle And why you're taking shots at me like Somebody's gonna give you a medal? And I never wanna hurt you But I'm tired of taking all these blows And so I'd rather be on your side But if you wanna fight Let's go, oh, oh Let's go, oh, oh Now we're standing in the ring Breaking everything that we've been building up so long And I don't wanna do this, break it up But you're not who I thought you were And this is looking more like a war Looks like we're going to war And I used to be on your side Now it's looking like we're going to battle And I'm trying not to break down crying No one's gonna give you a medal And I never wanna hurt you But I'm tired of taking all these blows And so I'd rather be on your side I'd rather be on your side But if you wanna fight Baby, let's go, oh, oh Looks like we're going to war, oh, oh The first shots fired, everybody's gathered around You're looking at me like I try to take you down No, no, but if you wanna fight, baby, let's go
I’m assuming it’s not self-written. I can’t think of another reason why she wouldn’t put this on speak now. Everyone loves this song and was looking forward to it. I think (hope) it will end up on a different re-record.
Yakin banget sebenernya lagu ini hampir rilis tapi di ganti sama haunted, dari instrumental sama struktur lagunya mirip bngt sm haunted bagian intro sm outro liriknya dibikin sama..
