Act One Musical Numbers - Stitches

‘Stitches’ by Shawn Mendes

ROMEO

I thought that I'd been hurt before
But no one's ever left me quite this sore
Your words cut deeper than a knife
Now I need someone to breathe me back to life

(backing vocals by BENVOLIO, SINGERS)

Got a feeling that I'm going under
But I know that I'll make it out alive
If I quit calling you my lover
Move on

ROMEO with ENSEMBLE providing backing vocals

You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
Shaking, falling onto my knees
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
Tripping over myself
Aching, begging you to come help
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches

ROMEO
Just like a moth drawn to a flame
Oh, you lured me in, I couldn't sense the pain
Your bitter heart cold to the touch

BENVOLIO adds in backing vocals

Now I'm gonna reap what I sow
I'm left seeing red on my own

(backing vocals as before)

Got a feeling that I'm going under
But I know that I'll make it out alive
If I quit calling you my lover move on

ROMEO, BENVOLIO and ENSEMBLE backing vocals
You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
Shaking, falling onto my knees
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
Tripping over myself,
Aching, begging you to come help
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches

ROMEO
Needle and the thread,
Gotta get you out of my head
Needle and the thread,
Gonna wind up dead
                               BV –(Gonna wind up dead etc.)
Needle and the thread,
Gotta get you out of my head, get you out of my head

CAPULET and PARIS enter

ROMEO sings lead ad libs with ENSEMBLE + BENVOLIO, CAPULET and PARIS

You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
Shaking, falling onto my knees (falling on my knees)
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches (and I'll be needing stitches)
Tripping over myself,
Aching, begging you to come help (begging, "Baby, please.")
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches

(And now that)
I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
(And now that)
I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
