Act IV, Scene IV Lyrics

She is so beautiful, steadfast and hellbent

But I've got no luck

My last love told me to go to the convent

He'd always said, "To be or not to be"

He never stopped thinking

But he's got ghosts and I'm falling for a girl

Who has a problem drinking

But I'll bide my time

Trying to sort my body from my mind

My tongue whispers her name on repeat

What's in a name? What's in a name? What's in a name?

Who knew a girl's name could taste so sweet?

She is so beautiful but I know she doesn't see me

A man from across town always comes around

Shouts at her balcony

I can't help but stare 'cause he's always there

Almost every night

What I wouldn't give to see her face lit in the morning light

But that's alright

But I'll bide my time

Trying to sort my body from my mind

My tongue whispers her name on repeat

What's in a name? What's in a name? What's in a name?

Who knew a girl's name could taste so sweet?

Haven't seen those two lover fools for a while now

Asked the preacher down the road

If maybe he would know, if he'd seen them around

He said they'd drank 'cause their parents rank

Interfered with how they dated

But oh, what a damn tragedy it is

To find a love that's reciprocated

Well, I hope they made it

I bided my time

I feel more confused, I feel like I'm losing my mind

My tongue whispered her name on repeat

What's in a name? What's in a name? What's in a name?

Well, hell if I know

My ex-boyfriend's dead

He was carrying around a head

I'm sure that has some deeper meaning

The only thing I've learned from all of this

Is how many ways to die there are

Without even bleeding

How life is fleeting

I tied little weights all over my dress

Put stones in my pockets and

I'm going to the riverbed to rest

I'll always be remembered

As that sad, mad girl

But it's hard to live

It's hard to love

In an unforgiving world
