Sublime with Rome performed their first gig together in February 2009 near Gaugh's home in Nevada, followed by an appearance at Cypress Hill's Smokeout Festival in San Bernadino that October. On April 20, 2010, the band embarked on their first-ever US tour with dates going into that fall. After positive reaction on the road, Sublime with Rome released a debut album on Fueled By Ramen records in July 2011.
In December 2011, Bud Gaugh revealed in an interview that he would be leaving Sublime With Rome and KROQ's Accoustic Christmas would be his last show. He saying he wanted to go home and spend more time with his family. He later went on to say "It was really good for the first few months, after that, it just felt wrong. Not playing the songs but playing them with the name Sublime, without Brad." When asked if he saw the band reuniting in the future Gaugh replied "No, I am done with SWR. I would be into playing music with Eric Wilson, however." He was replaced by Josh Freese.

Sublime with Rome Lyrics

I need time to figure out
Wide-awake wide awake
Seeing signs of slowing down
Oh yeah we wake up in the morning, think about the nights
Every drink we're pouring, starts another fight
It's a hazard to our health but we do it to ourselves
Every time, every time
Who knew, nobody could hurt me like you do
Stuck me in the dark like voodoo
Go on make your mark, yeah
I'mma love you from afar
Bless your wicked heart (na na, na na)
I know you mean no harm baby
Bless your wicked heart (na na, na na)
I'm gonna love you from afar
Baby, bless your wicked heart (na na, na na)
I know you mean no harm baby
Bless your wicked heart (na na, na na)
I don't know where is home or where to go or what to say anymore
'Cause I swear that I've done and
I've wrote and I've sang all the same shit that you've heard before
Because we wake up in the morning
Think about the nights
I would spend two hundred dollars on a dinner and we'd fight
It's a hazard to our health but we do it to ourselves
Every time, every time
Who knew, nobody could hurt me like you do
Stab me in the dark like voodoo
Go on make your mark, yeah
I'mma a love you from afar
Bless your wicked heart (na na, na na)
I know you mean no harm baby
Bless your wicked heart (na na, na na)
I'm gonna love you from afar
Baby bless your wicked heart (na na, na na)
I know you mean no harm baby
Bless your wicked heart (na na, na na)
I wanna love you from afar
Baby bless your wicked heart
We never meant for this to be so tragic
Let's go back to the way it was
Maybe you can do your quick black magic
Bring to life all that's dead with us
Who knew, nobody could hurt me like you do
Stuck me in with your voodoo
Go make your mark baby, go make your mark
I'mma love you from afar
Who knew, nobody could hurt me like you do
Stuck me in the dark like voodoo
Go and mark your mark, yeah
I'mma love you from afar
Bless your wicked heart (na na, na na)
I know you mean no harm baby
Bless your wicked heart (na na, na na)
I'm gonna love you from afar baby
Bless your wicked heart (na na, na na)
I know you mean no harm baby
Bless your wicked heart (na na, na na)
I'm gonna love you from afar baby
Bless your wicked heart (na na, na na)
Your wicked heart, your wicked heart
Bless your wicked heart
The lyrics of "Wicked Heart" by Sublime with Rome depict the aftermath of a toxic relationship where neither of the partners can let it go. The singer recognizes the harmful habits they have developed because of their significant other, including fighting and excessive drinking. Despite everything, the singer still has love for the other person, but chooses to love them from afar because of the constant hurt they cause. The chorus "Bless your wicked heart" is a bittersweet blessing that acknowledges the person's flaws but still wishes them well. In the bridge, the singer yearns to go back to how things used to be and hopes that the other person can use their "black magic" to revive their relationship.
The song's message is a representation of the difficulties in letting go of someone you love even when the relationship is causing more harm than good. The lyrics create an emotional narrative of someone trying to make sense of their situation while hoping for a way to find peace and closure.

Run away, run away
I need some alone time to figure out what to do
I need time to figure out
I need to think about our relationship to make a decision
Wide-awake wide awake
I'm aware of the problems in our relationship
Seeing signs of slowing down
Our relationship may be coming to an end
Oh yeah we wake up in the morning, think about the nights
We keep thinking about the past and our fights
Every drink we're pouring, starts another fight
Drinking causes us to argue
It's a hazard to our health but we do it to ourselves
We know our relationship is unhealthy but we continue to stay together
Every time, every time
It's a repetitive pattern
Who knew, nobody could hurt me like you do
Out of all the people in the world, you hurt me the most
Stuck me in the dark like voodoo
You left me in a bad place emotionally
Go on make your mark, yeah
Keep doing what you're doing, it's who you are
I'mma love you from afar
I will care for you but at a distance
Bless your wicked heart (na na, na na)
Even with all your faults, I still wish you well
I know you mean no harm baby
I know you're not intentionally trying to hurt me
I don't know where is home or where to go or what to say anymore
I feel lost and unsure in this relationship
'Cause I swear that I've done and I've wrote and I've sang all the same shit that you've heard before
We keep having the same issues and nothing is changing
I would spend two hundred dollars on a dinner and we'd fight
We argue even over simple things like dinner
We never meant for this to be so tragic
We didn't intend for our relationship to end like this
Let's go back to the way it was
Let's try to fix our relationship
Maybe you can do your quick black magic
Maybe you can fix our problems quickly
Bring to life all that's dead with us
Revive our relationship and make it better
Your wicked heart, your wicked heart
You have many flaws but I still care for you
