Good night Romeo and Juliet**

Good Night, Romeo and Juliet

by Robert Ramage

Intro

City lights glow like borrowed stars

Screens light faces, hearts stay dark

No balconies, no poisoned fate

Just love running late

Verse 1

I didn’t hear you say good night

Just the echo of an open door

Feels like a story we half-wrote

Then stopped believing in anymore

We weren’t cursed by family names

No ancient war to fight

Just pride dressed up as armor

And silence every night

Verse 2

I guess it’s not a dream at all

Just waking up with regret in my hands

The weight of it keeps holding us back

And I can’t find the light I thought I’d see

I was hoping for more than this

Hoping I’d wake up someday

And we’d finally realize

What we were letting slip away

Chorus 1 (Poetic / reflective)

Good night, Romeo and Juliet

In modern love, it’s the silence that stares

What’s missing speaks louder than words

Twisting the faith of a once-true heart

Good night, Romeo and Juliet

We lived, we loved, we tried

No death in this story, just truth

And a goodbye we couldn’t outrun or hide

Verse 3

We talked in circles, texted prayers

Hoping timing would bend

But love don’t die in a moment

It fades when you stop choosing it

No dagger drawn, no final breath

Just distance learning how to stay

Two souls still breathing the same air

With nothing left to say

Verse 4

I’m not asking for the past again

Or rewriting what we were

Just a little peace in knowing

We didn’t mean to hurt

If love was real—and I believe

It deserves a softer close

Not enemies, not bitterness

Just letting go exposed

Chorus 2 (Evolved / grounded)

Good night, Romeo and Juliet

In this world, it’s what’s not there that hurts

Modern love bends the faith of a hopeful heart

Till belief comes undone in the dirt

Good night, Romeo and Juliet

We lived, we loved, we tried

No death in this story, just truth

And a goodbye we couldn’t outrun or hide

Bridge

Maybe love’s not meant to last

Forever like the pages say

Maybe it’s here to teach us how

To forgive and walk away

If there’s a lesson in the wreckage

Let it be mercy, not regret

Two hearts leaving the scene alive

From a tragedy we didn’t finish yet

Final Chorus (repeat – slightly softer)

Good night, Romeo and Juliet

In this world, it’s what’s not there that hurts

Modern love bends the faith of a hopeful heart

Till belief comes undone in the dirt

(Music strips down to one instrument)

Spoken Outro (intimate, soft)

It never really had to end this way.

There was so much more we could’ve gained.

But tragedy in the modern world

Rarely ends in anything but pain.

I loved you then… I love you now.

And that’s what makes this so hard somehow.

So if this is where we let it go—

Just know there’s no hate left here.

(pause)

Good night.
