🎵 Luyện Nghe Bài Hát: Cleopatra - The Lumineers

 [Verse 1]
 I was Cleopatra, I  young and an actress
 When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for  hand
  I was sad you asked it,
 As I laid  a black dress
 With my  in a casket, I had no plans
 
 And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the 
 And it hardened like my heart did when you  town
  I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant
 Damn your wife, I'd be your  just to have you around
 
 [Chorus]
 But I was late for this,  for that, late for the love of my life
 And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die  be on time
 
 [Verse 2]
 While  church discouraged, any lust that burned within me
 Yes my flesh, it  my currency, but I held true
  I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me
 From the strangers  my backseat, they remind me of you
 
 [Chorus]
 But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of  life
 And when I  alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
 
 [Bridge]
 And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and  divorce
 But I've read this script  the costume fits, so I'll play my part
 
 [Verse 3]
 I  Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters
 But that's  in the past now, gone with the wind
  a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom
 It's a bed and a 
  a place for the end
 
 [Outro]
 I won't  late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
  when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
