Rome wasn't built in a day,
that's all I can say,
that's all I can say.
And hurt can't be healed in a week,
condition is bleak, condition is bleak.1
I'm back on track, I'm going down.
I'm getting up and kiss the ground.2
I'm trying to leave, I'm trying to stay away.3
It's your love that kills me.
You're the poison in my veins.
It's your love that kills me,
though I know it's time
to change.
You're the murderer of my heart.
and the burden on my way.
It's your love that kills me.
It's your love that kills me.
Rome wasn't built in a day,
I suffer cliché, I suffer cliché.4
A tailwind that blows for a week
is all that I seek, is all that I seek.
No back and forth, no rising high.
Collision course, no lightening sky.
I'm trying to leave, I'm trying to stay away.3
It's your love that kills me.
You're the poison in my veins.
It's your love that kills me,
though I know it's time
to change.
You're the murderer of my heart.
and the burden on my way.
It's your love that kills me.
It's your love that kills me.
It's your love that kills me.
You're the poison in my veins.
It's your love that kills me,
though I know it's time
to change.
You're the murderer of my heart.
and the burden on my way.
It's your love that kills me.
It's your love that kills me.
(Rome wasn't built in a day).
It's your love that kills me.
(Not built in a day, not built in a day).
You're the poison in my veins.
(Rome wasn't built in a day).
It's your love that kills me...
(Not built in a day, not built in a day).
...though I know it's time
to change.
(Rome wasn't built in a day).
It's your love that kills me.
(Not built in a day, not built in a day).
You're the poison in my veins.
(Rome wasn't built in a day).
It's your love that kills me.
(Not built in a day, not built in a day).
It's your love that kills me.
(Rome wasn't built in a day).
(Not built in a day, not built in a day).
(Rome wasn't built in a day).
(Not built in a day, not built in a day).
(Rome wasn't built in a day).
(Not built in a day, not built in a day).
(Rome wasn't built in a day).
(Not built in a day, not built in a day).
1. The official lyric video includes a German translation and some lines are more clear in German. For this line, the German translation says, "My condition is bleak."2. The German translation says "I'm on the ground."3. a. b. The German translation says "I'm trying to stay away from you."4. This line doesn't make sense in English but is the Google Translate translation of what they wrote in German, which means something closer to "I suffer the clichéd/stereotypical suffering."
