[Verse 1]
Romeo and Juliet
Ended up like Rose and Jack
Now every promise that they kept
Doesn't matter anymore
Brad and Angelina too
Reminded me of me and you
Everything we said we'd do
Doesn't matter anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody loves a tragedy
Looks a little like reality
You almost made me trust a fantasy
But it’s make believe
[Chorus]
If Romeo and Juliet couldn't get it right
Tell me why did I, tell mе why did I
Think we could keep us good?
If Romeo and Juliet couldn't gеt it right
Tell me why did I, tell me why did I
Think we could keep us good?
(Keep us good)
[Verse 2]
Joking 'bout our honeymoon
You said you'd take me to the moon
We'd do it in an air-balloon
Doesn't matter anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody loves a tragedy
Looks a little like reality
You almost made me trust a fantasy
But it’s make believe
[Chorus]
If Romeo and Juliet couldn't get it right
Tell me why did I, tell me why did I
Think we could keep us good?
If Romeo and Juliet couldn't get it right
Tell me why did I, tell me why did I
Think we could keep us good?
[Post-Chorus]
Tell me why did I, tell me why did I
Think we could?
Tell me why did I, tell me why did I
Think we could?
[Bridge]
Never seen a happy ending
Least, not one that's worth remembering
Everything that ends are wasting
Hurts a little bit, oh
Never seen a happy ending
Least, not one that's worth remembering
All the best things leave you guessing
Just a little bit, oh
[Chorus]
If Romeo and Juliet couldn't get it right
Tell me why did I, tell me why did I
Think we could keep us good?
If Romeo and Juliet couldn't get it right
Tell me why did I, tell me why did I
Think we could keep us good?
[Post-Chorus]
Tell me why did I, tell me why did I
Think we could?
Tell me why did I, tell me why did I
Think we could?
