Opalite Taylor Swift lyrics
Original Lyrics
English
[Verse 1]
I had a bad habit
Of missing lovers past
My brother used to call it
"Eating out of the trash"
It's never gonna last
I thought my house was haunted
I used to live with ghosts
And all the perfect couples
Said, "When you know, you know"
And, "When you don't, you don't"
[Pre-Chorus]
And all of the foes, and all of the friends (Ha, ha)
Have seen it before, they'll see it again (Ha, ha)
Life is a song, it ends when it ends
I was wrong
[Chorus]
But my mama told me, "It's alright
You were dancing through the lightning strikes
Sleepless in the onyx night
But now, the sky is opalite, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, my Lord
Never made no one like you bеfore
You had to make your own sunshine
But now, thе sky is opalite, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh"
[Verse 2]
You couldn't understand it
Why you felt alone
You were in it for real
She was in her phone
And you were just a pose
And don't we try to love love? (Love, love)
We give it all we got (Give it all we got)
You finally left the table (Uh, uh)
And what a simple thought
You're starving 'til you're not
[Pre-Chorus]
And all of the foes, and all of the friends (Ha, ha)
Have messed up before, they'll mess up again (Ha, ha)
Life is a song, it ends when it ends
You move on
[Chorus]
And that's when I told you, "It's alright
You were dancing through the lightning strikes
Sleepless in the onyx night
But now, the sky is opalite, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, my Lord
Never met no one like you before
You had to make your own sunshine
But now, the sky is opalite, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh"
[Bridge]
This is just
A storm inside a teacup
But shelter here with me, my love
Thunder like a drum
This life will beat you up, up, up, up
This is just
A temporary speed bump
But failure brings you freedom
And I can bring you love, love, love, love (Love)
[Chorus]
Don't you sweat it, baby, it's alright
You were dancing through the lightning strikes
Oh, so sleepless in the onyx night
But now, the sky is opalite, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, my Lord
Never met no one like you before (No)
You had to make your own sunshine
But now, the sky is opalite, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I had a bad habit

[Verso 1]
Tenía una mala costumbre
De extrañar a amores del pasado
Mi hermano solía llamarlo
"Comer de la basura"
Nunca iba a durar
Pensé que mi casa estaba embrujada
Solía vivir con fantasmas
Y todas las parejas perfectas
Decían: "Cuando lo sabes, lo sabes"
Y: "Cuando no, no"
[Pre-Coro]
Y todos los enemigos, y todos los amigos
Lo han visto antes, lo verán otra vez
La vida es una canción, termina cuando termina
Yo estaba equivocada
[Coro]
Pero mi mamá me dijo: "Está bien
Estabas bailando entre los relámpagos
Sin dormir en la noche de ónix
Pero ahora el cielo es opalita
Oh, Señor mío
Nunca hiciste a alguien como tú antes
Tuviste que crear tu propio sol
Pero ahora el cielo es opalita"
[Verso 2]
No podías entender
Por qué te sentías solo
Tú lo vivías de verdad
Ella estaba en su teléfono
Y tú solo eras una pose
¿No intentamos amar al amor?
Damos todo lo que tenemos
Finalmente dejaste la mesa
Y qué pensamiento tan simple
Tienes hambre hasta que ya no la tienes
[Pre-Coro]
Y todos los enemigos, y todos los amigos
Se han equivocado antes, se equivocarán otra vez
La vida es una canción, termina cuando termina
Sigues adelante
[Coro]
Y fue entonces cuando te dije: "Está bien
Estabas bailando entre los relámpagos
Sin dormir en la noche de ónix
Pero ahora el cielo es opalita
Oh, Señor mío
Nunca conocí a alguien como tú antes
Tuviste que crear tu propio sol
Pero ahora el cielo es opalita"
[Puente]
Esto es solo
Una tormenta dentro de una taza de té
Pero refúgiate aquí conmigo, mi amor
El trueno suena como un tambor
Esta vida te golpeará
Esto es solo
Un obstáculo temporal
Pero el fracaso trae libertad
Y yo puedo darte amor
[Coro]
No te preocupes, cariño, está bien
Estabas bailando entre los relámpagos
Tan sin dormir en la noche de ónix
Pero ahora el cielo es opalita
Oh, Señor mío
Nunca conocí a alguien como tú antes
Tuviste que crear tu propio sol
Pero ahora el cielo es opalita
