Star-Crossed



Behold this night, still and clear 
You look here just like an angel sleeping 
I wish I could ease your fears 
I would catch the diamond tears you’re weeping 
In your eyes I would hide 
By your side I could defy 
The forces tearing us apart 
But reality, as it seems 
Looking back, is that our dream 
Was fated from the start 

Girl we’re star-crossed and can’t escape 
We’re condemned and can only wait 
At this time now it’s far too late 
To save us from our fate 

I’ll remain in your hold 
Body, mind, heart and soul 
As long as I breathe 
Though consequence takes its toll 
All is out of our control 
That’s how it will be 
So close your eyes my young bride 
Listen to me one last time 
There’s something I have to say 
When your faith turns to despair 
Always will my love be there 
And never fade away 

Girl we’re star-crossed and can’t escape 
We’re condemned and can only wait 
At this time now it’s far too late 
To save us from our fate 
You can’t save us 
You can’t save us 

Girl we’re star-crossed and can’t escape 
We’re condemned and can only wait 
At this time now it’s far too late 
The poison’s in our veins 
It’s true 
You know that I’d die for you 
You know that I’d die for you 
You know that I’d die for you 

Forever true 
I’ll see you through
