Romeo

Walking yourself home again, reciting every rhyme
But nowadays you're noticing each blossom fallen from the vine
Like Romeo and Juliet
Its death was by design

No earthly force could ever stop me, no king upon his throne
Throwing pebbles at your window was the hand that cast the first stone
Like Romeo and Juliet
When I'm in love I am alone

I would place my fate, with a nod, in the hands of the Almighty God
Before you're promised to a man that you don't give a damn
And the line we'd never cross, we leapt recklessly across
And took our chances there
Where the game was never so fair, and I am done

Tipped back to kiss that bottle's lip, blind to destiny
It only takes a single sip of that fatal recipe
But like Romeo and Juliet
I drank once for you and once for me

And life beyond the wall carries on like it's nothing at all
No, you won't sway them with speech, for that family's deaf to peace
By the time they let us be, in the tragedy of sleep
The burden was theirs to bear
Yeah the game was never so fair, and I am done
