Lyrics
Speak Now
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's hard when I justify not to sound like a fake
My heart knows the reason why in spite of the break
Words wound down but the hardest part is pretending that I care
Two sides of a rusty coin tossed high in the air
Speak now or forever hold your tongue
Speak now or forever hold your tongue
Speak now
It's hard not to tell the truth when I'm part of the lie
We're drowned out by the ebb and flow between the wrong and the right
And I won't move with the changing times if I'm gonna slip away
We're two pawns in a bigger game, I don't wanna play
Speak now or forever hold your tongue
Speak now or forever hold your tongue
It's days like these I'm forever on my knees
It's days like these I'm forever on my knees
Speak now or forever hold your tongue
Speak now or forever hold your tongue
Ahhhh speak now, speak now
It's days like these I'm forever on my knees
It's days like these I'm forever on my knees
Yeah yeah it's days like these I'm forever on my knees
Speak now
