Lyrics of The Archer by Taylor Swift

verse

Combat
I'm ready for combat
I say I don't want that, but what if I do?
'Cause cruelty wins in the movies
I've got a hundred thrown out speeches I almost said to you

verse

Easy they come, easy they go
I jump from the train, I ride off alone
I never grew up, it's getting so old
Help me hold onto you

chorus

I've been the archer
I've been the prey
Who could ever leave me, darling?
But who could stay?

verse

Dark side
I search for your dark side
But what if I'm all right, right, right, right here?
And I cut off my nose just to spite my face
Then hate my reflection, for years and years

verse

I wake in the night, I pace like a ghost
The room is on fire, invisible smoke
And all of my heroes die all alone
Help me hold onto you

chorus

I've been the archer
I've been the prey
Screaming, who could ever leave me, darling?
But who could stay?

bridge

'Cause they see right through me
They see right through me
They see right through
Can you see right through me?
They see right through
They see right through me
I see right through me
I see right through me

verse

All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put me together again
'Cause all of my enemies started out friends
Help me hold onto you

chorus

I've been the archer
I've been the prey
Who could ever leave me, darling?
But who could stay?

verse

And who could stay?
Who could stay?
Who could stay?
Who could stay?
You could stay

outro

Combat
I'm ready for combat
Writer(s): Taylor Swift, Jack Michael Antonoff
