If Shakespeare Were Here Lyrics by Alec Benjamin
Romeo swallowed the poison and Juliet found him without any air
So tragic, the story, dramatic and gory, with beauty and such despair
But there’s nothing graceful about you and me
There’s no dignified ending, just hate and deceit
And suffering too from losing you
If there’s art in every heartbreak, where’s the beauty in my pain?
Where’s the movie with the ending, where I find true love again?
If there’s art in every heartbreak, if there’s beauty in our pain
Then why can’t I find it, the meaning behind it?
If Shakespeare was here, I wonder what he’d say
Maybe he’d force me to swallow the poison and say he can’t save me
It’s too late for choices, no love to rejoicing
And under my breath I’d say
There’s nothing graceful about you and me
There’s no dignified ending, just hate and deceit
And suffering too from losing you
If there’s art in every heartbreak, where’s the beauty in my pain?
Where’s the movie with the ending, where I find true love again?
If there’s art in every heartbreak, if there’s beauty in our pain
Then why can’t I find it, the meaning behind it?
If Shakespeare was here, I wonder what he’d say
Maybe he could find a way to help us save the spark
Maybe write a new redemption arc
Take our story back to the start
Maybe he could find a way to make it beautiful
Find a way to make this beautiful
Maybe I could find a way to make this beautiful
If there’s art in every heartbreak, where’s the beauty in my pain?
Where’s the movie with the ending, where I find true love again?
If there’s art in every heartbreak, if there’s beauty in our pain
Then why can’t I find it, the meaning behind it?
If Shakespeare was here, I wonder what he’d say
