Never Rome

Lay your head down Sing me to sleep as I come undone I fell out of love with myself I've got a bad heart in more ways than one Gotta tell you The last few days, weeks, months and years have been kinda rough Drink in the dark for a while So I go out with a smile and I guess that'll be enough I'm sorry that I couldn't make the pieces fit I'm so far adrift In an ocean you don't know exists This is more than a rainy day, this is a hurricane We are one Empires pulled apart by stones We are one But we were never Rome Sit alone at home pick apart my thoughts Remind myself, even the best things run their course Sitting, drinking, trying to bring myself back from the brink But I'm a lost cause and I'm starting to sink So I pick myself up, write myself off I'm shooting for death But clearly not doing enough I'm not doing enough Fell by the wayside Getting high more than ever now And I never found the strength To put the bottle down, my fire's burnt out My old lover, my old friend I've been thinking about dying again My hands have got the shakes As I put pen to paper in your name for the last time Let myself down time, after time Tell myself lie after lie And the sun shines lightly through the window pane I think this could be the morning of my final day And I need you to do this final thing for me There's still gold in my heart, so bury me deep My old lover, my old friend I've been thinking about dying again My old lover, my old friend Everyone of you means everything And the sun shines lightly through the window pane I think this could be the morning of my final day And I need you to do this final thing for me There's still gold in my heart, so bury me deep
