I dreamed about you while I slept with another
Sometimes I curse the day that we met
That I saw you naked, even with clothes on
And I found in your eyes what I had lost
But when I woke up I saw that it wasn't you
Looking at her face searching for your light
What the f*ck did I do?
What the f*ck did I do?
I met another who kisses me the same
Who talks sweet to me each time I wake up
But it's not you
And even though she's real good at playing your role
I feel that I'm with her just to get by
Because it's not you
I met another who kisses me the same
Who talks sweet to me each time I wake up
But it's not you
And even though she's real good at playing your role
I feel that I'm with her just to get by
Because it's not you
But I keep imagining that it's you
Even though my heart tells me that it's not true
In my head your memories scream, it feels like a concert
And f*ck, every time that I dream about you I wake up
Dreaming is the only time that what we had hasn't died
And I'm still here looking at someone else, your face shows up
How do I learn not to think of you? There's no diploma for this
It doesn't work for me to put your crown on someone else
Our empire fell, like Rome's did
Rebuilding myself piece by piece
But one piece stayed with you
I don't know how the f*ck to get you out
If I've already been with a few like you
And I haven't forgotten you, I don't feel like myself if you're not by my side
I don't know what I'm doing, lost here crashed in another bed
I met another who kisses me the same
Who talks sweet to me each time I wake up
But it's not you
And even though she's real good at playing your role
I feel that I'm with her just to get by
Because it's not you
I met another who kisses me the same
Who talks sweet to me each time I wake up
But it's not you
And even though she's real good at playing your role
I feel that I'm with her just to get by
Because it's not you

SONG MEANING

“Roma” paints the picture of someone who tries everything to forget a past love, only to discover that no kiss, no sweet words, and no new relationship can fill the empty space she left behind. Jay Wheeler describes waking up next to another woman while still day-dreaming about his ex, comparing their broken love to the fall of Rome: a once-mighty empire now in ruins. Every time he attempts to rebuild his life, a vital “piece” remains with her, reminding him that the new romance is just a temporary fix.

The song balances regret and longing with vivid images: seeing her “naked even with clothes on,” hearing memories “shouting like a concert,” and feeling his heart argue with his head. “Roma” is an anthem for anyone who has tried to replace a great love only to realize that some empires are too grand to rise again without their original queen.
