To The Star-Crossed Lovers by Cat Ridgeway Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Maybe I do only have half a heart
And I'm sorry, I can't play both parts
See my blood is stagnant on my right side
And my body abides

[Chorus]
But what is in a name
Whatever we call a rose, it smells the same, oh
Believe me I've tried to drink in the scent
It was time ill-spent

[Verse 2]
My dear apothecary
It seems that it's all that I need
Dear God, please give me something
To make the pain cease

[Chorus]
But what is in a name
Whatever we call a rose, it smells the same, oh
Believe me, I've tried to drink in the scent
It was time ill-spent
[Bridge]
I would stab myself in the heart
Just so I could feel the same
But no, it ain't no use, it's a different kind of pain
Well kill me with a kiss, forbidden Capulet
And no we won't' be revered with no golden monuments
Just dirt

[Chorus]
But what is in a name
Whatever we call a rose, it smells the same, oh
Believe me, I've tried to drink in the scent
It was time ill-spent
