Speak Now - Taylor Swift

I am not the kind of girl Who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion But you are not the kind of boy Who should be marrying the wrong girl I sneak in and see your friends And her snotty little family all dressed in pastel And she is yelling at a bridesmaid Somewhere back inside a room Wearing a gown shaped like a pastry This is surely not what you thought it would be I lose myself in a daydream Where I stand and say Don't say yes, run away now I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the back door Don't wait or say a single vow You need to hear me out And they said, "Speak now" Fond gestures are exchanged And the organ starts to play A song that sounds like a death march And I am hiding in the curtains It seems that I was uninvited by your lovely bride-to-be She floats down the aisle like a pageant queen But I know you wish it was me You wish it was me Don't you? Don't say yes, run away now I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the back door Don't wait or say a single vow You need to hear me out And they said, "Speak now" Don't say yes, run away now I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the back door Don't wait, or say a single vow Your time is running out And they said, "Speak now" (Run away now) (Say a single vow) I hear the preacher say, "Speak now or forever hold your peace" There's the silence, there's my last chance I stand up with shaky hands, all eyes on me Horrified looks from everyone in the room But I'm only looking at you I am not the kind of girl Who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion But you are not the kind of boy Who should be marrying the wrong girl So don't say yes, run away now I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the back door Don't wait or say a single vow You need to hear me out They said, "Speak now" You'll say, "Let's run away now" I'll meet you when I'm out of my tux at the back door Baby, I didn't say my vows So glad you were around When they said, "Speak now"

A life build on years of mistakes The kids are fine just keep it fake Keep smiling for the friends you keep Sleep with daggers, grind your teeth O-oh Let's just stay together for the kids We said forever, now we're stuck with it Let's just stay together for the kids We said forever, now we're stuck with it Cut the front yard keep it green A perfect house for broken dreams Suburban clones in SUV's Kids on drugs ADHD O-oh Let's just stay together for the kids We said forever, now we're stuck with it Let's just stay together for the kids We said forever, now we're stuck with it Let's just stay together for the kids We said forever, now we're stuck with it

I hitched a ride with my soul by the side of the road Just as the sky turned black I took a walk with my fame down memory lane I never did find my way back You know that I gotta say time's slipping away And what will it hold for me? What am I gonna do while I'm looking at you? You're standing, ignoring me I thought that I heard someone say now There's no time for running away now Hey now, hey now! Feel no shame, 'cause time's no chain Feel no shame The first thing I saw as I walked through the door Was a sign on the wall that read: It said you might never know that I want you to know What is written inside of your head And time as it stands won't be held in my hands Or living inside of my skin And as it fell from the sky I asked myself "why, Can I never let anyone in?" I thought that I heard someone say now There's no time for running away now Hey now, hey now! Feel no shame, 'cause time's no chain Feel no shame Feel no shame, 'cause time's no chain Feel no shame I hitched a ride with my soul by the side of the road Just as the sky turned black I took a walk with my fame down memory lane I never did find my way back You know that I gotta say time's slipping away And what will it hold for me? What am I gonna do while I'm looking at you? You're standing, ignoring me I thought that I heard someone say now There's no time for running away now Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now Feel no shame, 'cause time's no chain Feel no shame, 'cause time's no chain Feel no shame, 'cause time's no chain Feel no shame

Rows and flows of angel hair And ice cream castles in the air And feather canyons everywhere I've looked at clouds that way But now they only block the sun They rain and snow on everyone So many things I would have done But clouds got in my way I've looked at clouds from both sides now From up and down, and still somehow It's cloud illusions, I recall I really don't know clouds At all Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels The dizzy dancin' way you feel As every fairy tale comes real I've looked at love that way But now it's just another show You leave 'em laughin' when you go And if you care, don't let them know Don't give yourself away I've looked at love from both sides now From give and take, and still somehow It's love's illusions, I recall I really don't know love At all Tears and fears and feelin' proud To say "I love you" right out loud Dreams and schemes and circus crowds I've looked at life that way But now old friends, they're actin' strange They shake their heads, they say I've changed Well, something's lost, but something's gained In livin' every day I've looked at life from both sides now From win and lose and still somehow It's life's illusions, I recall I really don't know life I've looked at life from both sides now From up and down and still somehow It's life's illusions, I recall I really don't know life At all

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
