"The Book" lyrics

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

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

Oh, three days in Rome
I might stand alone
I'll always remember (Mm)
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
Sometimes we come
To learn by mistake
That the love you once made
Can't be undone

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
