lyrics

She was so unseen; he was a man of wax
Two bystanders in a star-crossed plot caught up in Shakespearean acts
Doomed to roam in Verona alone, just preparation for true love
Did they cross the star-crossed loves or did love cross out the stars?

Maybe it was fate or maybe she was just too young
I don't know why he said he felt he died when she told him that true love waits
It hurt so much, and it don't take much at all
When he swung by to see her dance that night, he found a second love at first sight
She wondered just how bad could it get
I don't know why she'd wanna date that guy. After all, she was a Capulet.

She was so unseen; he was a man of wax
Two bystanders in a star-crossed plot caught up in Shakespearean acts
Doomed to roam in Verona alone, just preparation for true love
Did they cross the star-crossed loves or did love cross out the stars?

He was born to reign, had a title right in his name
But all the same, you know a girl that age doesn't care about wealth or fame
But he was too late, 'cause she was already in love
Wealth and fame and a claim to his name couldn't help him get to her heart
And he was not the fighting type, but for her he'd have to give it a try
Before he died, he took a breath and sighed, "just lay me by her side."

She was so unseen; he was a man of wax
Two bystanders in a star-crossed plot caught up in Shakespearean acts
Doomed to roam in Verona alone, just preparation for true love
Did they cross the star-crossed loves or did love cross out?
Cross out the love, love.
Cross out the love, love.
Cross out the love, love.
Cross out the love, love.
