when in rome - the promise
If you need a friend,
don't look to a stranger,
You know in the end,
I'll always be there.
And when you're in doubt,
and when you're in danger,
Take a look all around,
and I'll be there.
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (Ipromise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (Ipromise)
But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you I will.
When your day is through,
and so is your temper,
You know what to do,
I'm gonna always be there.
Sometimes if I shout,
it's not what's intended.
These words just come out,
with no gripe to bear.
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (Ipromise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (Ipromise)
But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you...
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (Ipromise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (Ipromise)
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you I will.
I gotta tell ya, I need to tell ya, I gotta tell ya, I gotta tellyaaaa ...
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (Ipromise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (Ipromise)
But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you...
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (Ipromise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (Ipromise)
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you I will ...
I will...
I will...
I will...
when in rome - everything
Brick by brick
And wall by wall
Just like before
I'll watch you fall
Then once again
You'll come to me
Still asking for
My sympathy
I'm not listening
To you anymore
No, no, no
I'm not listening
To you anymore
I would have given my heart
I would have given my everything
I would have given my soul
If you had only waited
Step by step
And toe to toe
You've danced around
Now you must go
I'm still thinking
You gave it all away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Back to back
And front to side
Whatever you read
You took as lies
I'm still writing
To you every day
I'm still writing
Day after day
I would have given my heart
I would have given my everything
I would have given my soul
If you had only waited
I would have given my heart
I would have given you everything
I would have given it all
If you had only waited
Just a little while longer
I would have given my heart
I would have given my soul
If you had only waited
Just a little while longer
when in rome - heaven knows
Heaven knows I've tried, but nothing will give way at all
I always see your face at the start of every day
You always set the rhythm that makes my body ache
Like mortar from a wall it's just your back you break
(chorus)
Heaven knows I've tried to treat you better
Heaven knows I've tried to give a little bit more
How much will it take to stay together
Heaven knows we've tried but we drifted apart
Right from the start
You always broke the border, it was always there to break
I gave you all my loving, as much as you could take
But still there's something missing, it's gone missing deep inside
My words don't compensate at all, for the all the nights we died
(repeat chorus)
A love you can't have, a love you can't face
A love you broke once, a love you broke twice
What seemed like love, felt like pain
Everywhere you moved, it's gonna to be the same
Blame it on people, blame it on the cards
Whichever you do, It's going to the stars
(repeat chorus)
when in rome - if only
Thinking 'bout you and me
In a real life tragedy, yeah yeah
You mess with insanity
No reason for vanity, no no
You falling from a tree as life
Its not so hard when you hit the floor
You just bounce back up again they say
So brush yourself off and say 'ok'
And start yourself and say 'which way'
And brush yourself off and say 'yeah yeah'
I'm never gonna fall that way again
My feet never touched the ground
I'm never gonna sit & count to ten
I'll always remember
Some people would've called this heaven sent
If only they'd known better
I took all those memories
But I'll never hold you again, no no
It might be my imagination playin' those tricks again
So brush yourself off and say ok
Then start yourself off and say which way
Brush yourself off and say yeah yeah
I'm never gonna fall that way again
My feet never touched the ground
I'm never gonna sit & count to ten
I'll always remember
Some people would've called this heaven sent
If only they'd known better
So brush yourself off and say ok
Then start yourself off and say which way
Brush yourself off and say yeah yeah
I'm never gonna fall that way again
My legs buckle under
I'm never gonna sit & count to ten
I'll always remember
Some people would've called this common sense
If only I'd known better
If only I'd known better
