Verse one
I am in your embrace
Your embrace of death
Falling into the abyss
I’m digging my grave
To be with you
Because I can’t imagine life without you
I poison myself to be with you
But you were not dead
You didn’t die from being frozen
I die knowing
that I willingly throw my life away
You turn away from me
Crying over my body
Screaming to the sky
You stab yourself
with my dagger to be with me
But fate had other plans for us

Chorus
I was your Romeo to your Juliet
We were star-crossed lovers
We die because of the violence
and hatred surrounding us
We were supposed to be together in death
Now we are separate from each other
You’re in heaven being an angel
I’m in hell being the devil’s plaything
Tormenting for my sins
I am your beast to your beauty

Verse two
A witch cursed me to roam the earth
for my transgressions
She turned me into a beast
I’m searching for you
So you can break this curse
But you keep slipping away
You are everywhere that I have been
I can smell you faintly
but your scent is in my memories
I can taste your lips on me
but the taste is in my dreams
I can hear your voice
but it’s only a recording
I can feel your body near mine
but it’s nothing but air
I keep seeing you in every book I read
but it’s my mind playing tricks on me
I’m screaming at the stars for betraying me
I’m digging my grave
So I can sleep for eternal
But you won’t let me sleep

Chorus
I was your Romeo to your Juliet
We were star-crossed lovers
We die because of the violence
and hatred surrounding us
We were supposed to be together in death
Now we are separate from each other
You’re in heaven being an angel
I’m in hell being the devil’s plaything
Tormenting for my sins
I am your beast to your beauty

Verse three
I only have a rose to tell me
how much time I have left
If the last rose petal fall
before we are together
I will be a beast
till the end of time or when I die
I know that you are searching for me
but you can’t find me
Because I keep slipping away from you
I can hear you whispering sweet nothings in my ears
I’m digging my grave
So I can rest
To be in peace
But your presence won’t let me
Till we found each other
Screaming at the ever-changing moon
for making me look like a fool

Chorus
I was your Romeo to your Juliet
We were star-crossed lovers
We die because of the violence
and hatred surrounding us
We were supposed to be together in death
Now we are separate from each other
You’re in heaven being an angel
I’m in hell being the devil’s plaything
Tormenting for my sins
I am your beast to your beauty

Verse four
You’re watching me from afar
I want to fade away
But you won’t let me
I’m not the same anymore
You won’t be able to recognize me
You have to look into my eyes to see it’s me
But you will be repulsed by me
Because I’m a monster
I don’t remember my name
Let me dig my grave
Just let me die with dignity
But you love me too much
That you won’t let me

Chorus
I was your Romeo to your Juliet
We were star-crossed lovers
We die because of the violence
and hatred surrounding us
We were supposed to be together in death
Now we are separate from each other
You’re in heaven being an angel
I’m in hell being the devil’s plaything
Tormenting for my sins
I am your beast to your beauty
