We were both y

air

See the lights

, see the part

wns

You see me mak

e mjy way thro

ugh the crowd
            
And say, "Hell

o"
              
Little did you

  
 know

[Pre-Chorus]
             
That I was Rom

              
eo, and I was 

  
throwing pebbl

es
            
And your daddy

              
 said, "Stay a

       
way from Julie

t"
          
And you were c

rying on the s

taircase
             
Begging me ple

and you said

[Chorus]

somewhere we c

an be alone

I'll be waitin

g all there's 

left to do is 

run
 
I'll be the pr

ince and you'l

[Verse 2]
   
So I sneak out

 to the garden

 to see you

We keep quiet 

'cause we're d

ead if they kn

ew
              
So close your 


eyes
              
Escape this to

         
wn for a littl

e while

[Pre-Chorus]
             
'Cause I was R

But you were e

[Solo]
       

[Bridge]
              
I got tired of

           
 waiting,   wo

             
ndering if you

              
 were ever com

          
ing around
              
My faith in yo

           
u is fading
             
When I met you

              
 on the outski

       
rts of town an

d you said

[Chorus]

Romeo save me 

I've been feel

ing so alone

I keep waiting

 for you but y

ou never come
   
Is this in my 

head, I don't 

know what to t

hink
             
Then I knelt t

              
o the ground a

    
nd pulled out 

a ring and sai

d

Marry me, Juli

et you'll neve

r have to be a

lone

dress
