Antecedentes[]
Swift dijo que escribió esta canción acerca de una de sus amigas, a la que describe omo "reina de la belleza, princesa del desfile: una hermosa y popular chica en la secundaria." Ella agregó que "todos los hombres querían estar con ella, todas las chicas querían ser ella.[1] En una entrevista con Entertainment Weekly, Swift dijo: "Escribí esta canción ['Tied Together with a Smile'] el día que descubrí que ella tenía un trastorno alimenticio. Hay un par de canciones en el álbum como esas, que solo están observando a otras personas y haciendo observaciones. Pero la mayoría de las canciones del álbum son sobre personas reales que han estado en mi vida. Tiendo a ser un tanto descaradamente obvia, y con mis canciones, incluso menciono nombres muchas veces."[1]
Letra[]
[Verse 1]
Seems the only one who doesn't see your beauty
Is the face in the mirror looking back at you
You walk around here thinking you're not pretty
But that's not true, 'cause I know you
[Chorus]
Hold on
Baby you're losing it
The water's high
You're jumping into it
And letting go
And no one knows
That you cry
But you don't tell anyone
That you might
Not be the golden one
And you're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone
[Verse 2]
I guess it's true that love was all you wanted
'Cause you're giving it away like it's extra change
Hoping it will end up in his pocket
But he leaves you out like a penny in the rain
Oh, 'cause it's not his price to pay
Not his price to pay
[Chorus]
Hold on
Baby you're losing it
The water's high
You're jumping into it
And letting go
And no one knows
That you cry
But you don't tell anyone
That you might
Not be the golden one
And you're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone
Hold on
Baby you're losing it
The water's high
You're jumping into it
And letting go
And no one knows
That you cry
But you don't tell anyone
That you might
Not be the golden one
And you're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone
[Outro]
You're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone oh
Goodbye, baby
With a smile, baby, baby
