“Romeo” is the #4 track from Conan Gray’s upcoming fourth studio album Wishbone, set for release on August 15, 2025. This indie-pop gem, described by Gray in a SiriusXM interview as the album’s most explicit with “several different curse words,” dives into the raw emotions of love and loss with his signature storytelling. The album showcases Gray’s evolution as an artist, reflecting deeply personal themes drawn from his experience in his twenties—a time of self-discovery and emotional exploration.
As a part of Wishbone, “Romeo” continues the return to Gray’s more introspective, narrative-driven songwriting after his previous album Found Heaven. It exemplifies the vulnerability and rawness that fans have come to expect, with production that complements the emotional weight of the lyrics. Written in Gray’s bedroom and teased with his sailor-themed visuals, it’s a standout in his most introspective work yet. Dive into the Romeo lyrics below, and feel the pulse of Conan’s heart.

Lyrics of Romeo by Conan Gray
[Verse 1]
I Was Out Waitin’ For You, But Now You’ve Gotta Wait For Me
I Was Out Prayin’ For You, That’s Why My Friends Pray For Me
Even On My Worst Day, I Was Never Treatin’ You The Selfish Way That You Treated Me
Even In My Worst Pain, I Was Never Draggin’ You Around So You’ll Carry My Shame For Free
[Pre-Chorus]
You Don’t Wanna Know All I Did
I Drank Your Poison From Your Lips
I Took That Blade Into My Ribs
You Took Away My Will To Live (Fuck)
[Chorus]
So I Hope You Know I’m Never Gonna Want You Back
You Put Me In A Grave Of Stone, But Now It Only Makes Me Laugh
Spendin’ My Summer In Love, Then I Went And Got Dumped
So I Did It All, Damn, For What?
You’re No Romeo (You’re No Romeo)
You’re No Romeo (You’re No Romeo)
[Verse 2]
Never Liked Sittin’ Around Your Egoist Actor Friends (You’re Sick)
Never Liked Kissin’ Your Mouth With Cigarettes On Your Breath
Lookin’ Back, I Don’t Know Why I Got So Up In Arms ’bout Losin’ You By My Side
Lookin’ Back, I Wish I Listened To My Friends Who Said I Could Get A Much Better Guy
[Pre-Chorus]
I Don’t Wanna Know What You Did
With All The Girls You Swapped Me With
Your Drunken Mouth All On Her Lips
Guess I Was Just Your Experiment (Fuck)
[Chorus]
So I Hope You Know I’m Never Gonna Want You Back
You Put Me In A Grave Of Stone, But Now It Only Makes Me Laugh
Spendin’ My Summer In Love, Then I Went And Got Dumped
So I Did It All, Damn, For What?
You’re No Romeo (You’re No Romeo)
You’re No Romeo (You’re No Romeo)
[Bridge]
Where Art Thou?
I’m All Alone Now
Where Art Thou?
I’m Back In Your Hometown
Where Art Thou?
Fuck If I Care Now
You’ve Gotta Figure Out Your Shit With Someone Else, Man
I Can’t Fix You, I’m Sorry
[Chorus]
So I Hope You Know I’m Never Gonna Want You Back
You Put Me In A Grave Of Stone, But Now It Only Makes Me Laugh
Spendin’ My Summer In Love, Then I Went And Got Dumped
So I Did It All, Damn, For What?
You’re No Romeo (You’re No Romeo, No)
You’re No Romeo (You’re No Romeo, Do You Mind If I Like, Talk To You For A Bit?)
You’re No Romeo (You’re No Romeo)
You’re No Romeo (You’re No Romeo, No)
