I\u2019ve Always Been Unreleased | 2004 \u201cWho I\u2019ve Always Been\u201d is one of Taylor\u2019s many unreleased songs. Co-written by her, Liz Rose and Brian Maher, it is track thirteen on Taylor\u2019s demo CD from 2004-2005. In the lyrics, Taylor compares herself to another singer. Table of Contents Background and Lyrical Theme The track was written by Taylor, Brian Maher and Liz Rose. Brian also co-wrote Taylor\u2019s unreleased songs \u201cTen Dollars and a Six Pack,\u201d \u201cSweet Tea and God\u2019s Graces,\u201d and \u201cRain Song,\u201d as well as \u201cMary\u2019s Song (Oh My My My)\u201c, which appears on her self-titled debut album (2006). Liz went on to become her most trusted songwriting partner during the first stage of her career. There are both an acoustic and studio version of this song. In \u201cWho I\u2019ve Always Been,\u201d Taylor compares herself to another musician. The song was written about a girl who is trying to become a singer the quick and easy way. A frustrated Taylor describes how hard she had to work to make it whereas the other girl just had success handed to her. It is unknown who that other singer was. Lyrics [Verse 1]You walk in here with your guitar manYour shiny boots and your full on bandA smile on your face, a knife in your handSinging songs you\u2019ve got memorizedWith whatever talent money buysSo polished that it slips right through your hands [Pre-Chorus 1]But don\u2019t worry yourselfI ain\u2019t your competitionBut don\u2019t flatter yourselfThat was never my intention [Chorus]I wanna talk about what you are that I ain\u2019tLet\u2019s talk about what you do that I can\u2019tLet\u2019s talk about me and you in an empty roomAnd who winsLet\u2019s talk about what you did to get hereLet\u2019s talk about blood and sweat and tearsLet\u2019s talk about what you wanna be And who I\u2019ve always been [Verse 2]I walk in here with a beat up caseThe same guitar I\u2019ve always playedAnd the words I wrote down on a pageWhen I was 12 years old, small town raisedYou tell the crowd you\u2019re paying duesI tell them, \u201cThis is what I do\u201dAnd it\u2019s what I put my life intoAs I breathe the smoke and cheap perfume [Pre-Chorus 2]And say, \u201cLife on Music Row is rough conditions\u201dOh, but the easy ride was never my ambition [Chorus]I wanna talk about what you are that I ain\u2019tLet\u2019s talk about what you do that I can\u2019tLet\u2019s talk about me and you in an empty roomAnd who winsLet\u2019s talk about what you did to get hereLet\u2019s talk about blood and sweat and tearsLet\u2019s talk about what you wanna be And who I\u2019ve always been [Bridge]Let\u2019s talk about your childhood daysYou were the prom queenI was on this stageSo where\u2019s that crown gotten you these days?When it\u2019s me and you and the same damn games [Final Chorus]So what have you got that I ain\u2019t?And what can you do that I can\u2019t?Let\u2019s put me and you in an empty roomAnd see who winsLet\u2019s talk about what you did to get hereLet\u2019s talk about blood and sweat and tearsLet\u2019s talk about who you wanna be, girlAnd who I\u2019ve always been General Information Artist Taylor Swift Status Unreleased Leaked 2020 Written 2004 Genre Country Length 3:14 Songwriters Taylor SwiftLiz RoseBrian Maher Demo
