Romeo Lyrics – PinkPantheress

Romeo Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
She’s calling this person her Romeo, like a romantic figure in her life, even if it’s not totally real. By saying she’s added him to her “portfolio,” it sounds like she collects memories or people who mattered to her. He doesn’t seem interested, but she still feels a strong emotional pull through small things, like hearing his voice or songs he plays. Even when he tries to cut her off emotionally, she still feels connected and drawn to him.

[Bridge]
She’s laying out rules like steps: don’t fall in love, because it’s painful. Still, there’s something in the air—a kind of spark or emotional tension—that makes it hard to follow those rules.

[Chorus]
She tells people this person is her Romeo, and they laugh, probably because it sounds silly or unrealistic. But to her, it feels magical and real. He’s always on her mind, and even when he says things that confuse her or push her away, she still sees him as someone special, someone she can’t stop thinking about.

[Verse 2]
This part shows how deeply she feels. She thinks of him as someone who’d rather die than be apart, but then admits that maybe he’s the only one who actually fell in love. There’s a twist—maybe she didn’t feel it as strongly, or maybe she’s just being honest about the imbalance. She repeats his name like she’s trying to hold on to him or convince herself. She knows he’s tired of the situation, and it hurts to admit only one of them really loved. She also recognizes that love isn’t limited by gender, but in the end, she tells him not to waste his time loving her, because she can’t give the same back.

[Chorus]
She’s still stuck on calling him her Romeo, even if people think it’s funny or unbelievable. To her, this connection feels like something special, like magic. Even though he tries to confuse her or mess with her emotions, he’s the only one she can picture herself with. That feeling hasn’t changed.

[Breakdown]
She’s kind of laughing at herself now, repeating how she told people he was her Romeo. She’s still caught up in the emotional pull, stuck in her head, imagining him over and over again—he’s always there in her thoughts.

[Chorus]
Even when he says things that mess with her or make her unsure, she still sees him as someone magical. No matter what, he’s the one she keeps imagining and thinking about.
