If Shakespeare Were Here

Alec Benjamin

Composed by: Alec Benjamin/Noah Conrad/Cleo Tighe
Romeo swallowed the poison
And Juliet found him without any air
So tragic, the story, dramatic and gory
With beauty amidst such despair

But there's nothing graceful about you and me
There's no dignified ending, just hate and deceit
And suffering too
From losing you

If there's art in every heartbreak
Where's the beauty in my pain?
Where's the movie with the ending
Where I find true love again?

If there's art in every heartbreak
If there's beauty in my pain
Then why can't I find it, the meaning behind it?
If Shakespeare were here
I wonder what he'd say

Maybe he'd force me to swallow the poison
And say he can't save me, it's too late for choices
No love to rejoice in
And, under my breath, I'd say

There's nothing graceful about you and me
There's no dignified ending, just hate and deceit
And the suffering too
From losing you

If there's art in every heartbreak
Where's beauty in my pain?
Where's the movie with the ending
Where I find true love again?

If there's art in every heartbreak
If there's beauty in my pain?
Then why can't I find it, the meaning behind it?
If Shakespeare were here
I wonder what he'd say

Maybe he could find a way to help us save the spark
Maybe write a new redemption arc
Take our story back to the start

Maybe he could find a way to make it beautiful
Find a way to make this beautiful
If there's art in every heartbreak

Where's the beauty in my pain?
Where's the movie with the ending
Where I find true love again?
If there's art in every heartbreak

If there's beauty in my pain
Then why can't I find it, the meaning behind it

If Shakespeare were here
I wonder what he'd say
