[Verse 1] Two houses divided by a cobblestone lane Same church bells ringing over hatred and shame You stood on the balcony, barefoot and pale While the wind tangled softly itself in your veil You said my name quiet, like prayer or regret And God help me, I never escaped it yet [Chorus] Oh, Romeo, Juliet, under bruised summer skies Holding forever in frightened young eyes Stealing our kisses like thieves in the dark Trying to outrun what was carved from the start They sharpened their anger, they handed us blame But I would’ve burned just to hear you again Two hearts beating wild at the edge of despair Still reaching for love while the world wasn’t there [Verse 2] Your hand shook in mine when you slipped on the ring Like we both understood what tomorrow could bring Then steel found a body, and rage filled the square And suddenly exile was choking the air I watched from the doorway as they tore you away With your name on my lips and nothing to say [Chorus] Oh, Romeo, Juliet, under bruised summer skies Holding forever in frightened young eyes Stealing our kisses like thieves in the dark Trying to outrun what was carved from the start They sharpened their anger, they handed us blame But I would’ve burned just to hear you again Two hearts beating wild at the edge of despair Still reaching for love while the world wasn’t there [Bridge] So you drank the silence alone in the tomb Cold stone underneath you, white flowers in bloom I held you and begged you to wake from the blue Pressed my face to your hands still smelling of you Then your eyes finally opened — but heaven was late And love is a cruel thing when it bends under fate [Final Chorus] Oh, Romeo, Juliet, stars swallowed by dawn Trying to hold onto something already gone All of our dreaming, our fighting, our breath Fell into silence and circled through death They buried the hatred beside our two names But forgiveness arrives when there’s nothing to save Two hearts forever beneath Verona’s rain Still teaching the broken what love has to pay [Outro] Now morning hangs heavy and colorless, still The city walks slowly below on the hill And somewhere your voice moves like smoke through my head A love so alive it still aches with the dead Romeo… Juliet… I still hear you instead © 2026 Project ∞X.
