The Fall of Rome Lyrics

(Intro/ Interlude)
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 got
And I??d be lying if I said I didn??t picture you then in your wedding dress
And the days I??d hope we??d some day spend in our Sunday best
We were light as a flame
Both bat-sh*t insane
We were lost but we were just the same
Whatever happened to the fall of Rome?
You were a mystery to me but the place felt like home
And 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 day??s I??d hope we??d some day spend in our Sunday best
We were wrong from the start
With our broken arms
You played your role and I played my part
(C from the intro)
And the road was so long
I was never as strong
As the love that you gave to me
And it uttered 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 wont 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 walked away like I had with the rest
You were the only thing
That was worth saving
And I swear 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
