[Verse 1 (Male)] You drew hearts on my leather jacket Tried to turn my scars into some script You said “Stand tall Ride out and save me” But I’m choking on the lines you’ve flipped You want a white horse in the driveway Halo in this busted truck You call it fate I call it pressure Every kiss feels like it’s rigged for us [Pre-Chorus (Male)] You dress me up in a promise I never made I’m breaking under the costume change [Chorus (Both)] I can’t be your cowboy Romeo Posing in your fairytale You can’t be my cowgirl Juliet Waiting on a tragic trail We’re just two kids with a mess for a script Forcing a legend that never quite fit If this is love Why’s it feel like a bet? Cowboy Romeo Cowgirl Juliet [Verse 2 (Female)] You want me soft Sweet Sunday-morning But I’m shot of rage and gasoline You flinch every time I’m honest Then you blame my fire for your burn and bleed You paint my boots with your expectations Want me crying pretty on the floor You say it’s “us against the world Babe” But you’re the one keeping score [Pre-Chorus (Female)] You pin a name on a storm you can’t control Then call it love when you swallow my soul [Chorus (Both)] I can’t be your cowboy Romeo Your broken Noble Silent type You can’t be my cowgirl Juliet Dying just to prove you’re right We’re just two kids screaming into a script Forcing a legend that never quite fit If this is love Why’s it feel like regret? Cowboy Romeo Cowgirl Juliet [Bridge (Stripped)] [Music drops to palm-muted guitar Near-whisper vocals] [Male] Maybe we’re better as villains Than heroes we never were [Female] Maybe this crash is a blessing A ripped-up page A brand-new word [Both Close] So take your hat I’ll take my crown We lay these roles down Lay them down (lay them down) [Chorus (Both – Final)] I can’t be your cowboy Romeo Bleeding in your bedtime tale (oh-oh) You can’t be my cowgirl Juliet Waiting just to fail We’re just two hearts that are tired of the script Tearing the ending to prove that we lived If this is love Let it kill the duet Cowboy Romeo Cowgirl Juliet [Outro (Both)] Cowboy Romeo Cowgirl Juliet We break the spell We walk instead (hey!)
