I close my eyes And the flashback starts Im standing there On a balcony in summer air See the lights See the party, the ball gowns I see you make your way through the crowd And say hello, little did I know That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles And my daddy said stay away from Juliet And I was crying on the staircase Begging you please dont go, and I said Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone Ill be waiting all theres left to do is run Youll be the prince and Ill be the princess Its a love story baby just say yes So I sneak out to the garden to see you We keep quiet cause were dead if they knew So close your eyes Escape this town for a little while Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter And my daddy said stay away from Juliet But you were everything to me I was begging you please dont go and I said Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone Ill be waiting all theres left to do is run Youll be the prince and Ill be the princess Its a love story baby just say yes Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel This love is difficult, but its real Dont be afraid, well make it out of this mess Its a love story baby just say yes Oh oh I got tired of waiting Wondering if you were ever coming around My faith in you is fading When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said Romeo save me Ive been feeling so alone I keep waiting for you but you never come Is this in my head? I dont know what to think He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring And said, marry me Juliet Youll never have to be alone I love you and thats all I really know I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress Its a love story baby just say yes Oh, oh, oh, oh Cause we were both young when I first saw you
I let it fall, my heartAnd as it fell, you rose to claim itIt was dark and I was overUntil you kissed my lips and you saved meMy hands, they were strong, but my knees were far too weakTo stand in your arms without falling to your feet But there's a side to you that I never knew, never knewAll the things you'd say, they were never true, never trueAnd the games you'd play, you would always win, always win But I set fire to the rainWatched it pour as I touched your faceWell, it burned while I cried'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name When laying with you I could stay thereClose my eyes, feel you here foreverYou and me together, nothing is better 'Cause there's a side to you that I never knew, never knewAll the things you'd say, they were never true, never trueAnd the games you's play, you would always win, always win But I set fire to the rainWatched it pour as I touched your face Well, it burned while I cried 'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your nameI set fire to the rainAnd I threw us into the flamesWhen we fell, something died'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time Sometimes I wake up by the doorThat heart you caught must be waiting for youEven now when we're already overI can't help myself from looking for you I set fire to the rainWatched it pour as I touch your faceWell, it burned while I cried'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your nameI set fire to the rainAnd I threw us into the flamesWhen we fell, something died'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh Oh, noLet it burn, ohLet it burnLet it burn
