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
