Forever Hold Your Peace

Speak Now - Taylor Swift

I

Am not the kinda girl

Who should be rudely barging in

On a white veil occasion

But you

Are not the kinda 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 o

f 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"

Fun

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

Looks 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

You're time is running out

And they said, "Speak now"

I hear the preacher say

"Speak now, or forever hold your peace"

There's a 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 kinda girl

Who should be rudely barging in

On a white veil occasion

But you

Are not the kinda 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

Said, "Speak now"

And you 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""
