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
