Cambria Paris - Rome Lyrics

Look at you
You're a shell of a girl I once knew
Look at me
I'm stuck in an hourglass loop
We still speak
Like time didn't tear us apart
Like we're back where we are

Reflecting
On over two years of the best
Love I've seen
'Till it turned to a two-minute mess
I feel clean
But sometimes I wish I would choke
Yeah I still miss your smoke

Rome wasn't built in a day
But when I was with you
It felt that way
We went from goddesses
Wine and gold chains
To backstabbing rivals
Swords made of sharp silver blades
We fell from the empires we made

Now we're civil
But when I see you I still flinch
I can't help it
You induce constant visions
You're not hazy
Like every other memory
I still see you vividly
Is that how you remember me?

Words as weapons
Careless intention
You kept me guessin'
On every question
Broken laws and vows
Shining blood throughout
All of our friends
Victims of our aggression
I don't wanna fight
This was ages ago
But the pages, they don't break a deal
I don't wanna die
At your hands
You should know how I feel
You're my Achilles heel

Rome wasn't built in a day
But we were historical
You sailed away
Rome didn't fall in a day
And legend may have it
We're still falling to this day

Rome wasn't built in a day
But when I was with you
It felt that way
We went from goddesses
Wine and gold chains
To backstabbing rivals
Swords made of sharp silver blades
We fell from the empires we made
