I Came to Rome When It Was a City of Stone - WickedDior

It was the third of September That day I'll always remember, yes I will 'Cause that was the day that my daddy died I never had a chance to see him Never heard nothin' but bad things about him Mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth Mama looked up and said son Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died all he left us was alone Where the hell are you daddy, that's what I'm sayin' Down on my knees and tears and I'm prayin' Wishing and hoping my dreams could come true So I could feel like the other kids do A young child but not complete as a whole Before I was born you up and strolled Mama was there but you was up in the wind You never even knew my name and then You never wrote, called, let alone came by As a youth it was hard to wonder why But now I'm older and I don't dwell on self pity Thinking about the life you didn't give me I remember when I used to tell lies When people would ask I'd just fantasize Thinking of stories to make you look good But the real truth was you was never no good People would say I looked just like you But rest assured I don't act like you I'm more than that, my mama raised me better And you can best believe I'm much more together So belive that Mama is it true what they say That papa never worked a day in his life? And mama there's some bad talk goin' round town That papa had three out-side children And another wife, and that ain't right Heard some talk about papa Doin' some store-front prechin' Talking about saving souls and all the time leaching Dealin' in dirt and stealing in the name of the Lord Mama looked up and said son Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died all he left us was alone It's been said you gave me something you never had But that's not always true and it's sad To find myself missing you when I did But who knows the reasons why you did what you did I can't help but wonder why You lived your life as a big fat lie You act like you had no responsibilities 'Cause if you did it's a bet that you wouldn't be Stealin' beggin' hustlin' and schemin' You could'a got a job But did you know the meaning of work I'm talking about an honest day's pay But you was too lazy to be that way Always trying to take the easy route That's what they tell me, so I don't doubt It for a moment, not for a sec Because you lacked all your self respect But it's too late for you that is Tomorrow I'll be going on about my biz And so it's time to put the past behind Erase the anger and clear my mind I want to forget the little bit I know And make sure that I never sink so low 'Cause I want my kids to grow up and know That I was always there because I loved them so And that's the least thing that I can do But that's a lot more than I got from you I heard papa call himself a jack of all trades Tell me is that what sent papa to an early grave? Folks say papa would beg, borrow or steal To pay his bills Hey mama, folks say papa wasn't much on thinkin' Spent most of his time chasing women and drinkin' Mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died all he left us was alone

Steadfast forecast this was always meant to be Sent down by the angels Heartbreak can't fade all the plans that were made By a baby in a manger Bright light so bright it was shining like a north star Answer to a prayer How could I have known, that you would come along When I was a little girl I wondered who I'd give all my love to I asked Santa who he'd recommend It's hard to believe I was so innocent As a little girl looking at the world Didn't know that love could break me I was lying in my tears on the ground Couldn't see where God would take me Here I am now looking at you Got me thinking that love could save me How could I have known, that you would come along When I was a little girl I wondered who I'd give all my love to I asked Santa who he'd recommend It's hard to believe I was so innocent When I was a little girl I had love at the top of my wish list All my dreams were so unlimited It's hard to believe I was so innocent Why do you feel so much like home to me (Home to me) Why do you feel so much like home to me When I was a little girl I wondered who I'd give all my love to I asked Santa who he'd recommend It's hard to believe I was so innocent When I was a little girl I had love at the top of my wish list All my dreams were so unlimited It's hard to believe I was so innocent Why do you feel so much like home to me

What if It never changes My pain is endless And that's it And what if I'm always healing Forever pining For sanity But now life has ceased And the storm's calmed its breeze Maybe I preferred it when it was chaotic in my head Maybe I preferred when I was a mess everyday in my bed And I couldn't handle it then But I can't take emotionless Maybe I preferred it when it was chaotic in my head What if The ache just worsens My bones can't balance a skeleton But now life has ceased And to stone my numb feeling Maybe I preferred it when it was chaotic in my head Maybe I preferred when I was a mess everyday in my bed And I couldn't handle it then But I can't take emotionless Maybe I preferred it when it was chaotic Maybe I preferred it when it was chaotic It's not easy Feeling nothing Maybe I preferred it when it was chaotic in my head Maybe I preferred when I was a mess everyday in my bed And I couldn't handle it then But I can't take emotionless Maybe I preferred it when it was chaotic Maybe I preferred it when it was chaotic

Where was I going? It was so nice there in the moment Guess it was boring Knowing you'd be there in the morning I thought it would be said and done When I walked out of the door That I closed then Could you tell me if it's still open? The leaves were turning red, and the air was getting colder I couldn't tell if it was love, or just October Started to regret it when I left you on the corner I guess the weather wasn't why I want you closer I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm wondering if I should call 'Cause now I'm in bed, wishing we were on your sofa Why did the feeling start when it was over? Well, there I said it Hope it's not too late to regret it 'Cause wow, you look happy And it hurts that you're not smiling at me I (I wish, I wish, I wish) wish I could go back in time Choose the other side of the door That I closed then Could you tell me if it's still open? The leaves were turning red, and the air was getting colder I couldn't tell if it was love, or just October Started to regret it when I left you on the corner I guess the weather wasn't why I want you closer I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm wondering if I should call 'Cause now I'm in bed, wishing we were on your sofa Why did the feeling start when it was over? Well, now I'm here, and now you're there I let you go, too proud to care And, oh, isn't is so ironic? Now it's me who's falling hard And reminiscing, looking back I wish I knew I wanted that I wish I knew I wanted that I wish I knew I want you back The leaves were turning red, and the air is getting colder I couldn't tell if it was love, or just October And I regret it how I left you on the corner I guess the weather wasn't why I want you closer I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm wondering if I should call 'Cause now I'm in bed, wishing we were on your sofa Why did the feeling start when it was over?
