How does one begin to say
All the dreams you dreamed died today
All your visions of a perfect life are over

How on earth do I find the words that will somehow ease your pain?
Help me, God, where do I start?
Why must I destroy my best friend's heart?
We were once kings of the world
We just laughed our way through those carefree years
In a way, I wish they had never met
Wish that I could bring back Juliet
That can't be... no, that can't be

I can't do this, I can't do this
I will not break the news, this tragic news
He should be told by a priest
Someone who is old and wise
Who can find the reason why
Someone so young just dies
I can't do this, and yet I know
I must do this

Mercutio, where is your ghost?
How dare you die when I need you most
Everything we ever did, we did together

I cannot do this on my own
Sorry, I'm not made that way
Do I say that the time will heal
That he will live through this ordeal?
What if I break down and cry?
That would be the worst thing I could do
I don't trust myself, I will get it wrong
I'm too close a friend, I'm not that strong
No, not me,,, it can't be me

I can't do this, I can't do this
I know how I would be if he told me
I would drink myself to sleep, and I'd pray I'd never wake
That way I'd never hear, the scream a heart can make
I must do this, God give me strength, and I'll do this

I can do this, I must do this
I know I am the one, the only one
We are still kings of the world, and that's what we'll always be
He knows how much I love him
It's best he hears from me
I must do this, I will do this
I must do this, I must do this
