— my favorite lyrics from speak now💜*.•

❝ The way you move is like a full-on rainstorm and I'm a house of cards.❞ — Sparks fly.

❝ You're the kind of reckless that should send me running but I kinda know that I won't get far.❞ — Sparks fly.

❝ I'm on my guard for the rest of the world, but with you, I know it's no good.❞ — Sparks fly.

❝ Your guard is up and I know why. Because the last time you saw me is still burned in the back of your mind.❞ — Back to December.

❝ You gave me roses and I left them there to die.❞ — Back to December.

❝ It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine.❞ — Back to December.

❝ And I think about summer, all the beautiful times I watched you laughing from the passenger side and realized I loved you in the fall. ❞ — Back to December.

❝ And then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind. ❞ — Back to December.

❝ I miss your tanned skin, your sweet smile, so good to me, so right. And how you held me in your arms that September night; he first time you ever saw me cry. ❞ — Back to December.

❝ Maybe this is wishful thinking, probably mindless dreaming. But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right.❞ — Back to December.

❝ I'd go back in time and change it but I can't, so if the chain is on your door I understand. ❞ — Back to December.

❝ Fond gestures are exchanged and the organ starts to play a song that sounds like a death march. ❞ — Speak now.

❝ And I am hiding in the curtains. It seems that I was uninvited by your lovely bride-to-be. ❞ — Speak now.

❝ 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? ❞ — Speak now.

❝ I hear the preacher say, "Speak now or forever hold your peace." There's the silence, there's my last chance. ❞ — Speak now.

❝ I stand up with shaky hands. All eyes on me. Horrified looks from everyone in the room, but I'm only looking at you. ❞ — Speak now.

❝ 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. ❞ — 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".❞ — Speak now.

❝ And my mother accused me of losing my mind, but I swore I was fine.❞ — Dear John.

❝ You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain. ❞ — Dear John.

❝ And I lived in your chess game, but you changed the rules every day. ❞ — Dear John. ❝ Wonderin' which version of you I might get on the phone tonight. Well, I stopped pickin' up, and this song is to let you know why. ❞ — Dear John.

❝ Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?❞ — Dear John.

❝ The girl in the dress cried the whole way home. ❞ — Dear John.

❝ And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors who don't understand. ❞ — Dear John.

❝ And I look back in regret how I ignored when they said "Run as fast as you can”. ❞ — Dear John.

❝ Don't you think nineteen's too young to be played by your dark twisted games when I loved you so? ❞ — Dear John.

❝ You are an expert at "sorry" and keeping lines blurry. ❞ — Dear John.

❝ All the girls that you've run dry have tired lifeless eyes 'cause you've burned them out. ❞ — Dear John.

❝ But I took your matches before fire could catch me, so, don't look now. I'm shining like fireworks over your sad empty town. ❞ — Dear John.

❝ You should've known. ❞ — Dear John.

❝ You, with your words like knives and swords and weapons that you use against me. ❞ — Mean.

❝ You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard calling me out when I'm wounded. You, picking on the weaker man. ❞ — Mean.

❝ You have pointed out my flaws again as if I don't already see them. ❞ — Mean.

❝ I bet you got pushed around somebody made you cold, but the cycle ends right now 'cause you can't lead me down that road. ❞ — Mean.

❝ And I can see you years from now in a bar talking over a football game, with that same big loud opinion, but nobody's listening, washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things. ❞ — Mean.

❝ All you are is mean, and a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life. ❞ — Mean.

❝ I used to know my place was the spot next to you. Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat 'cause lately I don't even know what page you're on. ❞ — The story of us.

❝ Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room and we're not speaking and I'm dying to know is it killing you like it's killing me, yeah? ❞ — The story of us.

❝ And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now. ❞ — The story of us.

❝ How'd we end up this way? See me nervously pulling at my clothes and trying to look busy. And you're doing your best to avoid me. ❞ — The story of us.

❝ But you held your pride like you should've held me. ❞ — The story of us.

❝ I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how. ❞ — The story of us.

❝ I've never heard silence quite this loud. ❞ — The story of us.

❝ This is looking like a contest of who can act like they care less, but I liked it better when you were on my side. ❞ — The story of us.

❝ The battle's in your hands now, but I would lay my armour down if you said you'd rather love than fight. ❞ — The story of us.

❝ To you everything's funny, you got nothing to regret. ❞ — Never grow up.

❝ At fourteen, there's just so much you can't do and you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shots. ❞ — Never grow up.

❝ And don't lose the way that you dance around in your pj's getting ready for school. ❞ — Never grow up.

❝ No one's ever burned you, nothing's ever left you scarred. And even though you want to, just try to never grow up. ❞ — Never grow up.

❝ I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone. ❞ — Never grow up.

❝ So here I am in my new apartment in a big city, they just dropped me off. It's so much colder than I thought it would be, so I tuck myself in and turn my night light on. ❞ — Never grow up.

❝ The playful conversation starts, counter all your quick remarks, like passing notes in secrecy. ❞ — Enchanted.

❝ I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home. I'll spend forever wondering if you knew. I was enchanted to meet you. ❞ — Enchanted.

❝ The lingering question kept me up, 2 AM, who do you love? I wonder 'til I'm wide awake. ❞ — Enchanted.

❝ This is me praying that this was the very first page, not where the story line ends. ❞ — Enchanted.

❝ My thoughts will echo your name until I see you again. ❞ — Enchanted.

❝ Please don't be in love with someone else. Please don't have somebody waiting on you. ❞ — Enchanted.

❝ I'll spend forever wondering if you knew I was enchanted to meet you. ❞ — Enchanted.

❝ She should keep in mind there is nothing I do better than revenge. ❞ — Better than revenge.

❝ She looks at life like it's a party and she's on the list. She looks at me like I'm a trend and she's so over it. ❞ — Better than revenge.

❝ She thinks I'm psycho 'cause I like to rhyme her name with things. ❞ — Better than revenge.

❝ But sophistication isn't what you wear or who you know or pushing people down to get you where you wanna go. ❞ — Better than revenge.

❝ But no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity. ❞ — Better than revenge.

❝ I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at, honey. ❞ — Better than revenge.

❝ Do you still feel like you know what you're doing? 'cause I don't think you do. ❞ — Better than revenge.

❝ Let's hear the applause. Come on, show me how much better you are (so much better, yeah?). So you deserve some applause 'cause you're so much better. ❞ — Better than revenge.

❝ Wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything and everybody believed in you? ❞ — Innocent.

❝ Your string of lights is still bright to me. ❞ — Innocent.

❝ Wasn't it easier in your firefly-catchin' days? When everything out of reach someone bigger brought down to you. ❞ — Innocent.

❝ It's okay, life is a tough crowd. ❞ — Innocent.

❝ 32, and still growin' up now. ❞ — Innocent.

❝ Who you are is not what you did. ❞ — Innocent.

❝ You and I walk a fragile line. I have known it all this time, but I never thought I'd live to see it break. ❞ — Haunted.

❝ Stood there and watched you walk away from everything we had, but I still mean every word I said to you. ❞ — Haunted.

❝ He will try to take away my pain and he just might make me smile, but the whole time I'm wishing he was you instead. ❞ — Haunted.

❝ You told me you loved me, so why did you go away? ❞ — Last kiss.

❝ All that I know is I don't know how to be something you miss. ❞ — Last kiss.

❝ Your name, forever the name on my lips. ❞ — Last kiss.

❝ How you'd kiss me when I was in the middle of saying something. There's not a day I don't miss those rude interruptions. ❞ — Last kiss.

❝ So I'll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep, and I feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe. ❞ — Last kiss.

❝ And I hope the sun shines, and it's a beautiful day, and something reminds you you wish you had stayed. ❞ — Last kiss.

❝ You can plan for a change in weather and time, but I never planned on you changing your mind. ❞ — Last kiss.

❝ I said remember this moment in the back of my mind. ❞ — Long live.

❝ You held your head like a hero on a history book page. ❞ — Long live.

❝ It was the end of a decade, but the start of an age. ❞ — Long live.

❝ Long live the walls we crashed through, how the kingdom lights shined just for me and you. ❞ — Long live.

❝ I was screaming long live all the magic we made. ❞ — Long live.

❝ I said remember this feeling I pass the pictures around of all the years that we stood there on the side-lines wishing for right now. ❞ — Long live.

❝ You traded your baseball cap for a crown when they gave us our trophies and we held them up for our town. And the cynics were outraged, screaming, "This is absurd!" ‘cause for a moment a band of thieves in ripped-up jeans got to rule the world. ❞ — Long live.

❝ Long live all the mountains we moved. I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you. ❞ — Long live.

❝ Will you take a moment? Promise me this. That you'll stand by me forever, but if God forbid fate should step in and force us into a goodbye, if you have children some day, when they point to the pictures, please tell them my name. ❞ — Long live.

❝ If you were here we'd laugh about their vacant stares, but right now my time is theirs. ❞ — Ours.

❝ Seems like there's always someone who disapproves. They'll judge it like they know about me and you, and the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do. The jury's out, but my choice is you. ❞ — Ours.

❝ So don't you worry your pretty little mind. People throw rocks at things that shine and life makes love look hard. ❞ — Ours.

❝ The stakes are high, the water's rough, but this love is ours. ❞ — Ours.

❝ Your hands are tough, but they are where mine belong. ❞ — Ours.

❝ I'll fight their doubt and give you faith with this song for you. ❞ — Ours.

❝ They can't take what's ours. ❞ — Ours.

❝ I wonder if he knows how much that I miss him. ❞ — Superman.

❝ Tall, dark and beautiful. He's complicated, he's irrational, but I hope someday you'll take me away and save the day. ❞ — Superman.

❝ Something in his deep brown eyes has me sayin' he's not all bad like his reputation, and I can't hear one single word they say. ❞ — Superman.

❝ And I watch you fly around the world and I hope you don't save some other girl. Don't forget, don't forget about me. I'm far away but I never let you go . ❞ — Superman.

❝ I was a flight risk with a fear of falling, wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts. ❞ — Mine.

❝ Flash forward and we're taking on the world together, and there's a drawer of my things at your place. ❞ — Mine.

❝ You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded. You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes. ❞ — Mine.

❝ But we got bills to pay. We got nothing figured out. ❞ — Mine.

❝ And I remember that fight. Two-thirty AM, as everything was slipping right out of our hands, I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street. Braced myself for the "Goodbye" ‘cause that's all I've ever known. Then you took me by surprise. You said, "I'll never leave you alone." ❞ — Mine.

❝ You said, "I remember how we felt sitting by the water, and every time I look at you, it's like the first time. ❞ — Mine.
