Close your eyes my love
fill your sleep with dreams
words stray endlessly
flow like pouring rain
feel the time go by
till it slaps you in the face
in your corner of the sky
where you leave me
to answer my question
will I miss someone?
Rome wasn't built in a day
wasn't built in a day
waiting for the dance
with my best new american friend
as she turns so graciously
to see the state I'm in
but oh how good it feels
to walk away all regrets
that's something for us to keep
here's something for us now
just like a thousand goodbyes
wipe the tears from your eyes
like I'm losing myself
Rome wasn't built in a day
all she said was she never knew me at all
Rome wasn't built in a day
when she left she left nothing in return
Rome wasn't built in a day
so I lay my head to rest now
to say it simply
when all escapes me
at the bottom of the sea
I found the love that left me
Rome wasn't built in a day
all she said was she never knew me at all
Rome wasn't built in a day
but when she left she left nothing in return
nothing in return
nothing in return.
