Speak Now Lyrics By 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

    pre
    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 bridetobe

    pre
    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

    interlude
    ooh ladadada oh
    ooh ooh
    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 shaking 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
    hehe

    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
    and they said speak now

    variation
    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
