Who I’ve Always Been -
Let's talk about your childhood days
You were the prom queen, I was on this stage
So, where's that crown gotten you these days?
When it's me and you and the same damn games?
Debut (October 24, 2006)
- Tied Together With A Smile - Taylor describing that the song was about a friend of hers who was a pageant queen & looked incredible at prom but Taylor found out she also had an eating disorder
- “[The song] is about a girl I knew my freshman year. She was absolutely Miss Popular, a pageant girl, and she looked perfect every day! Always had the cutest outfits, always looked the best at prom. But sometimes when you get a little closer to people who look that perfect, you realize that they don’t feel perfect. They feel like they’re ugly.”
