this is me trying - Taylor Swift

I watched my mother miss out on her life All those could-have-beens became her sacrifice But here in the darkness, it's not the future nor the past And 'cause it's meant to be with you, boy, it will last You met me halfway Growing pains, broke some chains in every chapter Now we know what it takes for our ever after Took some lefts, now we right here where we are and I sing This is me now, this is me now And I took my time, lot of winters, summers, baby Had to heal my heart, but I love who I am lately This is me now When I was a girl, they'd ask me what I'd be (what you gon' be?) A woman in love is what I grew up wanting to be (in love's what I wanted to be) It's my melody, the symphony I sing (sing) And your every word gave me strength to follow my dreams (yes, you did) You met me halfway Face to face, tell the truth, no holding back (no holding back) We put in work, overcame all the disasters (all the disasters) Time apart brought us right here where we are (where we're meant to be) And I sing (and I sing) This is me now (love me as I am), this is me now (this is me now) And I took my time (and I took my time) Lot of winters, summers, baby (baby) Had to heal my heart (my heart) But I love who I am lately (had to do it for myself) This is me now (had a lot to learn, had a lot to grow, had to find my way, yeah) Take me as I am (can you?) And I'll take you as you are (and I will) And we'll build this life together, I found my shooting star The double the shine, the greener the diamond One of a kind, the clearer the timing Ain't nothin' change, you know paps goin' crazy Beep-beep, pull up in a black Bugazzi Baby got a love that'll last forever Old tingz, new tingz, it's a new level All gas, no brakes, you could come rev it Baby, you know when you want me I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready This is me now, this is me now

Oh, the wind whistles down the cold dark street tonight And the people, they were dancing to the music vibe And the boys chase the girls with the curls in their hair While the shy tormented youth sit way over there And the songs get louder each one better than before And you're singin' the songs, thinkin' this is the life And you wake up in the mornin' and your head feels twice the size Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go? Where you gonna sleep tonight? And you're singin' the songs, thinkin' this is the life And you wake up in the mornin' and your head feels twice the size Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go? Where you gonna sleep tonight? Where you gonna sleep tonight? So you're headin' down the road in your taxi for four And you're waitin' outside Jimmy's front door But nobody's in and nobody's home 'til four So you're sittin' there with nothin' to do Talkin' about Robert Riger and his motley crew And where you gonna go? Where you gonna sleep tonight? And you're singin' the songs, thinkin' this is the life And you wake up in the mornin' and your head feels twice the size Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go? Where you gonna sleep tonight? And you're singin' the songs, thinkin' this is the life And you wake up in the mornin' and your head feels twice the size Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go? Where you gonna sleep tonight? Where you gonna sleep tonight? And you're singin' the songs, thinkin' this is the life And you wake up in the mornin' and your head feels twice the size Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go? Where you gonna sleep tonight? And you're singin' the songs, thinkin' this is the life And you wake up in the mornin' and your head feels twice the size Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go? Where you gonna sleep tonight? Where you gonna sleep tonight?

Te vi, me viste, al principio fue una broma Luego la verdad se asoma Intercambiamos sonrisas Pasó algún tiempo, poco menos de una hora Y por debajo de la mesa Tu tacón tocó mi bota Fue más sencillo que hacer la tabla del uno y a la hora del desayuno Ya sabía que te amaba A las semanas de iniciar con la aventura Se nos hizo miel la luna y un concierto pa Tijuana Era prohibido, era imposible, pero hicimos lo que se nos dio la gana Después de eso nos veíamos casi a diario Nuestro amigo el calendario Nos dio 400 citas De tanto amarnos nos volvimos dos extraños No sé quién toma hoy tu mano Ni tú, dónde estoy ahorita Fue más sencillo que hacer la tabla del uno y a la hora del desayuno Ya sabía que te amaba A las semanas de iniciar con la aventura Se nos hizo miel la luna y un concierto pa Tijuana Era prohibido, era imposible, pero hicimos lo que se nos dio la gana, yeh-hey Pasando el tiempo, analizando la ruptura, la versión que tiene el lobo No es la de Caperucita De tanto amarnos, nos volvimos dos extraños No sé quién toma hoy tu mano, ni tú, dónde estoy ahorita Seguramente pa la otra que nos veamos repitamos Lo de la primera cita, yeah, eh-eh-eh-eh Uh, mmh-mmh-mmh, mmh

Miras con tanta dulzura, hermosa criatura Tú mi bello ángel que cayó del cielo Soy un simple pobre diablo que corrió con suerte Que logró obtenerte por obra divina Pues en cada esquina te busqué Solo tú eres la persona La que me ilusiona, la que me emociona Por ti pierdo el rumbo y en cada segundo Me voy de este mundo con sentirte a ti Entre el cielo y el infierno Solo hay un espacio, solo hay un abismo Es que yo pierdo el ritmo cuando me abandonas Y me quedo solo, solo sin ti Viniste a reconformarme, a rehabilitarme Tú mi bello ángel, yo estaba perdido Siento que después de ti yo soy otra persona Ya no me conozco, ¿qué paso conmigo? Por eso te digo que tú Solo tú eres la persona La que me ilusiona, la que me emociona Por ti pierdo el rumbo y en cada segundo Me voy de este mundo con sentirte a ti Entre el cielo y el infierno Solo hay un espacio, solo hay un abismo Es que yo pierdo el ritmo cuando me abandonas Y me quedo solo, solo sin ti Solo tú eres la persona La que me ilusiona, la que me emociona Por ti pierdo el rumbo y en cada segundo Me voy de este mundo con sentirte a ti Entre el cielo y el infierno Solo hay un espacio, solo hay un abismo Es que yo pierdo el ritmo cuando me abandonas Y me quedo solo, solo sin ti

Compa ¿Qué le parece esa morra? La que anda bailando sola Me gusta pa' mí Bella Ella sabe que está buena Que todos andan mirándola cómo baila Me acerco Y le tiro todo un verbo Tomamos tragos sin peros solo tentación Le dije "Voy a conquistar tu familia" Que en unos días, vas a ser mía Me dijo Que estoy muy loco, pero le gusta Que ningún vato como yo actúa Ahí te va mija Y pura doble P viejo Así no más compa Pedro puro Eslabón Armado A las plebitas (cha-chau) No soy Un vato que tiene varo Pero hablando del corazón Te cumplo todo Me agarro Pegadito de su mano Mi compa ni se la creyó Que al pasar fui yo Su cuerpo Juro por Dios, que era tan perfecta Su cintura como modelo Sus ojos Desde el principio me enamoraron A ella le gusto Y a mí me gusta
