There he is in the parlor, Head within his hands, He doesn't know the reason and he doesn't understand. A picture of his lady lay shattered on the floor, he reaches in the darkness to touch what was before. And he's just a broken hearted with tear stains on his face, He's looking for the answers, and how his mind does race, Yeah, he's running from his feelings, but nowhere can he hide, he doesn't know the reason To why his love should die. It was late one evening, A knock came at the door, A drunken driver killed her, The policeman said no more He didn’t know the reason, There’s none that one could give, He doesn’t have his lover Now he doesn't want to live. And he's just a broken hearted with tear stains on his face, He's looking for the answers, and how his mind does race, Yeah, he's running from his feelings, but nowhere can he hide, he doesn't know the reason To why his love should die. There he is in the parlor, Gun within his hands, He says, "My love I miss you, and I hope you understand." A shot rings through the silence, Till the silence is then met, met, And now he's with his lady, He's with his Juliet. And he's just a broken hearted with tear stains on his face, He's looking for the answers, and how his mind does race, Yeah, he's running from his feelings, but nowhere can he hide, he doesn't know the reason To why his love should die. She came home that evening, A sight before her eyes, Cause, she was only asking was it love or was it lies? And now she knows the answer, It's one that she did know, So she takes the gun he's holding, And joins her Romeo. And they're just the broken hearted, With tear stains on their face, They're looking for the answers, And how their minds do race, Yeah, they're running from their feeling But nowhere can they hide, They do not know the reason. To why their love should die.
