Sheryl Crow - The Book lyrics

rate me

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

Three days in Rome

Where do we go

I'll always remember

Three days in Rome

Never again

Would I see your face

You carry a pen and a paper

And no time and no words you waste

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

Three days in Rome

And I stand alone

I'll always remember

Three days in Rome

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

And sometimes we come

To learn by mistake

That the love you once made

Can't be undone

Three days in Rome

I laid my heart out

I laid my soul down alone

I'll always remember

Three days in Rome
