   It's about a girl called Emily and the first verse is about her being bullied and her dad drives down to the principals office to tell he or she that emily wasn't brought up that way in the second verse it's about Emily having a boyfriend and he wanted to have sex with her but she wouldn't and her dad tells her she wasn't brought up that way and in the third verse it's about her in a car crash and her dad's praying to god to not take away his daughter like his wife I'm not sure if Emily lives though

   This song is about an actual Emily who Taylor went to school with. She dies in a boat accident at the end she dies in real life but in the song she opens her eyes. This is a very sad song and its an unreleased song.

   You have to respect the way you were brought up. You can't change who you are in your heart, you are always the same and every road leads you back to home.

   No offense to all the others who gave their interpretation
   ( Don't get me wrong , you're
   Right ) but that's just it's literal meaning, the meaning behind it is that you should not lose who you are, you shouldn't give up or give in to temptations. It's about certain morals and values that you were taught by your parents , this is saying that no matter what life throws your way , you can't lose these morals or values cause basically you weren't brought up that way.

   at the beginning, a girl name Emily comes home from school. and shes been bullied. once her dad finds out he goes up to the principle's office and pretty much says that Emily wasn't brought up that way. next, she has a boyfriend but he so mean to her. and when her dad finds out he says he didn't bring her up that way. last, Emily gets a hit by a drunk driver and and officer Tate says she might not make it. her father says to God that the only thing`that kept him going was Emily. Because it killed him to see them bury her Mom. but at last, he sees that Emily is still alive(:

   This song is about a girl named Emily. In the beginning, she's a girl who goes to school and she gets bullied. When she comes home, her dad figures out and she goes to the principle's office and says that he did not bring her up that way. Next, she's with a guy and he is being mean to her and her dad tells her that she wasn't brought up that way. Then at the end, a drunk driver crashes into her and Officer Tate calls her dad and says that she might not live. Her dad says to God that he did not bring her up that way and He already took her mother away. Her dad says that he doesn't want her to die. When he goes to the hospital, she is alive and she opens her eyes.
