If Shakespeare Were Here - 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 my pain

Then why can't I find it the meaning behind it

If Shakespeare were 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 rejoice in

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 my pain

Then why can't I find it the meaning behind it

If Shakespeare were 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 my pain

Then why can't I find it the meaning behind it

If Shakespeare were here I wonder what he'd say
