[Verse 1] You were leaning on the balcony rail Bare feet Moon on your skin Family names like heavy chains I could feel them cutting in Sneaking past the garden wall Gravel cracking under my shoes Every step a quiet war Every breath choosing you [Chorus] We were star-crossed on a Verona Street Trading our lives for a stolen week You said “hold my hand Whatever it costs” We wrote forever in the dust And then we got lost If love is a sin Then I’ll take the blame Say my name Say my name Say my name We were star-crossed on a Verona Street Too much fire in a town of grief [Verse 2] You were talking ‘bout running away I was tracing scars in your palm Poison words in the market square But in your room It was calm White dress folded in the dark Ring tied up with a ribbon of fear Church bells fighting funeral drums All our tomorrows disappearing [Chorus] We were star-crossed on a Verona Street Trading our lives for a stolen week You said “hold my hand Whatever it costs” We wrote forever in the dust And then we got lost If love is a sin Then I’ll take the blame Say my name Say my name Say my name We were star-crossed on a Verona Street Too much fire in a town of grief [Bridge] Two kids One knife One vial Too young to be this tired (oh) Sleeping under carved-out names Cold stone Tangled flowers at the gate They built a peace on what we paid But they still say our names too late [Chorus] We were star-crossed on a Verona Street Trading our lives for a stolen week You said “close your eyes Remember this part” Now I carry your ghost at the back of my heart If love is a sin Let it set us free Bury the hate Remember the scene We were star-crossed on a Verona Street Two soft voices they couldn’t keep
