The Fall of Rome

歌詞

Whatever happened to the fall of Rome? What a strange thing to ask when I was taking you home As we walked alone through the parking lot I said, “I don’t have much,” you said, “I like what you’ve got” And I’d be lying if I said I didn’t picture you then in your wedding dress And the days I hoped we’d someday spend in our Sunday best We were light as a flame, both batshit insane We were lost but we were just the same Whatever happened to the fall of Rome? It’s a mystery to me but the place felt like home There are no rules when you’re falling in love You just take what you get and you hope it’s enough And I’d be lying if I said I didn’t picture you then in your wedding dress And the days I hoped we’d someday spend in our Sunday best We were wrong from the start, with our broken hearts You played your role and I played my part And the road was so long I was never as strong As the love that you gave to me And it all took its toll, you become so cold You forget what you were born to be Whatever happened to the fall of Rome? Those people all turned to ashes and stone It’s a trick of the mind, when you think it won’t end It’s a contest with time that time always wins I saw a picture of you the other day in your wedding dress And I wondered why I’d walked away like I had with the rest You were the only thing that was worth saving And I swear that I did my best And sometimes at night I dream of you now in your wedding dress And I hope it doesn’t seem somehow like I gave you less I have nothing to show from these years on the road But these songs that I wrote for you
