i see your face in my mind as i drive away
cause none of us thought it was gonna end that way
people are people and sometimes we change our minds
but it's killing me to see you go after all this time
mhmhm-mhmhm-mm-mm
mhmhm-mhmhm-mm-mm
music starts playing like the end of a sad movie
it's the kind of endin' that you don't really wanna see
cause it's tragedy and it'll only bring you down
now i don't know what to be without you around
and we know it's never simple, never easy
never a clean break, no one here to save me
you're the only thing i know like the back of my hand
and i can't -- bre-e-e-e-athe
without you, but i have to
bre-e-e-e-athe
without you, but i have to
never wanted this, never wanted to see you hurt
every little bump in the road i try to swerve
people are people and sometimes it doesn't work out
nothing we say is gonna save us from the fall out
and we know it's never simple, never easy
never a clean break, no one here to save me
you're the only thing i know like the back of my hand
and i can't -- bre-e-e-e-athe
without you, but i have to
bre-e-e-e-athe
without you, but i have to
it's two am, feelin like i just lost a friend
hope you know it's not easy, easy for me
it's two am, feelin like i just lost a friend
hope you know this ain't easy, easy for me-e-e
and we know it's never simple, never easy
never a clean break, no one here to saaave me
oh-hh-h
and i can't -- bre-e-e-e-athe
without you, but i have to
bre-e-e-e-athe
without you, but i have to
bre-e-e-e-athe
without you, but i have to
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know
That you were Romeo
You were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go
And I said
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes, escape this town for a little while
Oh, oh, oh
'Cause you were Romeo,
I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go
And I said
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
I got tired of waiting, wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town
And I said
Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and he pulled out a ring
And said
Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, you'll pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
