The Fall of Rome - The Airborne Toxic Event

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 we were just the same

Whatever happened to the fall of Rome

You 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

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

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 it's toll you become so cold

You forget 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
