The Rose
To Be Juliet's Secret Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know this isn′t easy
Believe me, please don't leave me
I think I need a drink
I′ve thought all I can think
I refuse to believe this is not a dream

I have a lot to live up to
I have a lot I have a lot I
I have a lot to live up to
I have a lot I have a lot I

And baby I thought I told you
You've got to be a soldier
You can't break down now
They′re all counting on you

I know sometimes there′s no reason no rhyme
That things take us
I know sometimes there's no reason no rhyme
That things take us like ships in a storm

I have a lot to live up to
I have a lot I have a lot I
I have a lot to live up to
I have a lot I have a lot I

And how can we go on this way
When everything is broken and if I could
I would fix this
And how can we go on this way
When everything is broken and if I could
I would fix this





I have a lot to live up to
I have a lot I have a lot
