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.
