Love Ends In Cemetery

[Verse 1] Well, hello there, Romeo — didn’t hear you knock Waltzin' in like love ain’t got a lock You've got big dreams and a borrowed car And a fistful of daisies like that’ll get you far She’s got your name in her diary heart But I’ve seen boys like you come apart You think you're chasing paradise and lace But you’re one wrong move from a plot in this place [Chorus] She’s not your Juliet, boy And I ain’t here to play coy You think it's fate, I see a scam You bring sweet words, I bring the jam You see your last name down the aisle I see your full name on a stone in a while You want romance? That’s cute to me— But love ends in cemetery [Verse 2] You quote Shakespeare like you're so cool But if you keep it up, you won't finish high school You hum sad songs and strum three chords Son, I’ve buried charm like yours before I’m not a villain—I’m just her DAD Check out my warning smile and shovel.. lad You think this story ends with a wedding dress? Try — and you'll be six feet under, no less [Chorus] She’s not your Juliet, boy You ain't her prince, she ain't your toy You dream of vows, I see a hearse You talk forever — plan on the worst So go write poems, go chase the sun But cross this line, and your run is done You bring the drama, I bring the decree— Love ends in cemetery [Bridge] Call it a threat, call it a prayer Call it what you want — I’ll still be there With a lawn chair and a cup of tea Watching you test your mortality [Final Chorus] She’s not your Juliet, boy Not a flame for you to destroy She’s got fire, but she ain’t blind She’ll leave your little tale behind You see forever in her eyes But forever’s where the fool boy lies So chase your dream, but don’t chase me— ‘Cause love ends in cemetery [Outro] Go on now, Romeo. Take the long road home— While your tires still touch the ground.
