Lyrics

“Speak Now (Forever My Love)”

Verse 1
I’m standing here in silence, fighting with my pride,
She’s in white and glowing, but I’m breaking deep inside.
I see her hand in his, where mine used to belong,
And I’m losing her for good if I just keep holding on.

Pre-Chorus
He doesn’t know the way her laughter fills the air,
Or the stories in her eyes, the secrets we shared.
I gave her all I had, but time tore us apart,
Yet I can’t let go of the love still stitched in my heart.

Chorus
When the priest says “speak now, or forever hold your peace,”
My heart screams louder than my voice could ever reach.
I’m standing in this crowd, fighting not to shout,
“Don’t let her go, I can’t just walk out.”
If I stay silent now, she’ll never know,
All the love I’ve buried deep below.

Verse 2
I remember the first time she looked my way,
Her laughter like sunshine, brightening my gray.
We danced under stars, like the world was just us,
But life had other plans, and it broke our trust.

Bridge
And every touch, every kiss, lives on in me,
The way she’d hold my hand, how she set me free.
But here I am, just a ghost from her past,
Watching her future, slipping too fast.

Chorus
When the priest says “speak now, or forever hold your peace,”
My heart’s a storm I can’t seem to release.
I’m aching with the words I wish she could hear,
A love that’s boundless, pure and sincere.
But silence holds me, keeps me in place,
As she walks away to another embrace.

Outro
So I’ll watch her walk into his arms,
With memories that haunt, with love that harms.
I’ll carry this silence, let her find her own way,
But a part of me will forever stay.
“Speak now,” he said, and I held my tongue,
Letting go of the only song I’ve ever sung.
