Romeo and Juliet



Love destroys you
Can't keep up with who I'm falling for
Everyday there's one more

True love is not a thing,
You'll always be waiting for the ring

Love is a scam,
It's like pushing a pram with no baby inside
It's pointless,
You should've kept your life loveless

Love drives you to sacrifice
Love comes with an expensive price
Risking your life for the person you call the one
I warned you, I warned you my friend
RUN!

Love doesn't last for long
Thats why your life went wrong
Love started wars: Roman, Trojan, Egyptian

Why don't you understand?

I tried to lend you a hand
Now death has come knocking at your door
You can not love anymore.
