Benvolio
So many things I should have said
And so many things I should have done
But now the times we knew and loved are dead
They're gone
Just yesterday we lived carefree
Just as friends are wont to be
Death has come at last to claim her all
Now we live in shadow 'neath her pall
We were the kings, we made a vow
But those glory days are over now
And if only yesterday's regrets
Could be able to bring Juliet
Back to life
Back to his life
How do I say
Is there a way
To soothe, console, explain
How can I say
That the girl he loves is dead
That she took her life instead
That there's nothing he can do
Just bear the pain and muddle through
What can I do?
He'll suffer too
How do I say
Without my parents, on my own
Verona's streets became my home
When you lose an old devoted friend
You're orphaned
There was a time Mercutio's song
Rang high and true-then things went wrong
Now I'm losing Romeo too
Now I don't know what to do
We were the kings, we made a vow
But our shattered world is over now
And if by chance we could repay our debt
Even so that won't bring Juliet
Back to life
Back to his life
How do I say
Is there a way
To soothe, console, explain
How can I say
That the girl he loves has died
When she left she had inside
Half his love and half his truth
And all the passion of his youth
What do I do?
He'll suffer too
How do I say?
But is there no hope?
No other way?
To tell him, to explain
How can I say
That the girl he loves is dead
That she took her life instead
That there's nothing he can do
Just bear the pain and muddle through
What do I do?
He'll suffer too
How do I say
This is the end...
