Don't Drop Dead Juliet

Capital Lights

Compositor: Bryson Phillips

On an empty stomach again, hard to eat with no appetite
Well I’ve never been one to spill my guts so, I got a lot bottled inside
Behind this face is a wasted space, wanna kiss this brain goodbye
So, I’m pretty eager to share my thoughts, let me give you a piece of my mind
There’s a jungle in my head
I admit that I’m scared, scared to commit
But if it’s love you seek, don’t give up on me just yet

Don’t drop dead, Juliet, keep a stiff upper lip
Blow a kiss so hard it awakens love in the soul of this heartbreak kid
Stand still Juliet, no one’s fairer than I
When you fell for me you swore it’d be for life
Well I’m not dead yet, Juliet

In my eyes the big picture is vague, I’m narrow sighted and colorblind
You differentiate distinctions like night and day when you see in only black and white
But there’s a hazy gray area in every situation that to me never quite stands out
So, if I tell you that we’re over and I’m acting off-color, give me the benefit of a doubt
There’s an ocean in my head
Your devotion’s in the air, I’m holding my breath
If I start to drown in my emotions, don’t abandon ship

I beg don’t bid farewell; I’ll come alive
For the long haul, wait it out; I’ll come alive
I was playing dead but now, as this numb heart learns to feel
And I break free from my shell, I come alive
