If Shakespeare Were Here

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
Romeo swallowed the poisonAnd Juliet found him without any airSo tragic, the story, dramatic and gloryWith beauty amidst such despairBut there's nothing graceful about you and meThere's no dignified ending, just hate and deceitAnd suffering tooFrom losing youIf there's art in every heartbreakWhere's the beauty in my pain?Where's the movie with the endingWhere I find true love again?If there's art in every heartbreakIf there's beauty in my painThen why can't I find it, the meaning behind it?If Shakespeare were here, I wonder what he'd sayMaybe he'd force me to swallow the poisonAnd say he can't save me, it's too late for choicesNo love to rejoice inAnd, under my breath, I'd say"There's nothing graceful about you and meThere's no dignified ending, just hate and deceitAnd suffering tooFrom losing you"If there's art in every heartbreakWhere's the beauty in my pain?Where's the movie with the endingWhere I find true love again?If there's art in every heartbreakIf there's beauty in my painThen why can't I find it, the meaning behind it?If Shakespeare were here, I wonder what he'd sayMaybe he could find a way to help us save the sparkMaybe write a new redemption arcTake our story back to the startMaybe he could find a way to make it beautifulFind a way to make this beautifulMaybe I could find a way to make this beautifulIf there's art in every heartbreakWhere's the beauty in my pain?Where's the movie with the endingWhere I find true love again?If there's art in every heartbreakIf there's beauty in my painThen why can't I find it, the meaning behind it?If Shakespeare were here, I wonder what he'd say
