The Book

[Verse 1]

I read your book

And I find it strange

That I know that girl and I know her world

A little too well

And I didn't know

By giving my hand

That I would be written down, sliced around, passed down

Among strangers' hands

[Chorus]

Three days in Rome

Where do we go?

I'll always remember

Three days in Rome

[Verse 2]

Never again

Would I see your face

You carry a pen and a paper

And no time and no words you waste

But oh, you're a voyeur

The worst kind of thief

To take what happened to us

To write down everything that went on

Between you and me

[Chorus]

Oh, three days in Rome

I might stand alone

I'll always remember (Mm)

Three days in Rome

[Verse 3]

And what do I get?

Do I get revenge

While you lay it all out

Without any doubt

Of how this would end?

Sometimes it goes

Sometimes we come

To learn by mistake

That the love you once made

Can't be undone

[Chorus]

Oh, but three days in Rome

I laid my heart out

I laid my soul down alone

I'll always remember

Three days in Rome
