He is determined to keep their love story going, even if it's not as perfect as Romeo and Juliet's. He pleads with his partner to not listen to what others say about him and assures her that he didn't start the trouble. He refuses to let their story end and wants to be saved from his current situation. Despite his flaws, he believes he is not a bad person and wishes to continue their love story. The song ends with the protagonist stating that it would be too cruel for their love story to end, as all lovers are similar to Romeo and Juliet.
