Broken Dreams
I was just a youngin', with my heart on my sleeve
Dreamin' big dreams that you wouldn't believe
Buildin' castles in the sky, shit, so naive
Thought I had the world on my feet, baby, ready to achieve
But life hit me hard like a rogue wave
One minute on top, next minute you are in the grave
All these dreams I was tryin' to save
Crashed down round me, uh, nothin' left to crave
Broken dreams, shattered scenes
Life ain't always what it seems
Tryna swim, but I'm against the streams
I'm lost in the echoes of my screams, yeah
Makin' dreams in the night, they gleam
Like stars fallin' unseen
Talkin' bout the pain and the strife, yeah
Broken dreams, they cut deep like a knife
I gave it all, but the world took more
Left me lying, broken on the floor
Promises made, now they out the door
What was all the sacrifice for
Tell me what was all the sacrifice for
Yeah, I had the vision of the stage
The lights, the fame
But the game is cruel (but the game is cruel)
It don't remember your name
Now I'm sitting here in the rain
With these broken dreams
That I can't reclaim
Broken dreams, shattered scenes
Life ain't what it seems
Tryna swim, but I'm against the streams
I'm lost in the echoes of my screams
Broken dreams in the night, they gleam
Like stars unseen
Life hit me hard like a rogue wave
One minute on top, next minute you are in the grave
All these dreams I was tryna save
Crashed down round me, uh, nothin' left to crave
Broken dreams, shattered seams
Life ain't what it seems
Yeah, I'm tryna swim, but I'm against the streams
I'm lost in my screams
I know I gotta get up
Gotta try once more
Cant let these broken dreams
Define what I'm living for
Tell me, baby, there's better be more
To this life than just settling the score
Gotta heal these wings
Baby girl, it's time to soar
So I take these pieces
Put them back together
Weather the storm
Baby girl, we could be tougher than leather
These dreams ain't gone
They just under the weather
I'll bring him to life
I'll make him last forever
Dreamin' big dreams that you wouldn't believe
Buildin' castles in the sky, shit, so naive
Thought I had the world on my feet, baby, ready to achieve
But life hit me hard like a rogue wave
One minute on top, next minute you are in the grave
All these dreams I was tryin' to save
Crashed down round me, uh, nothin' left to crave
Broken dreams, shattered scenes
Life ain't always what it seems
Tryna swim, but I'm against the streams
I'm lost in the echoes of my screams, yeah
Makin' dreams in the night, they gleam
Like stars fallin' unseen
Talkin' bout the pain and the strife, yeah
Broken dreams, they cut deep like a knife
I gave it all, but the world took more
Left me lying, broken on the floor
Promises made, now they out the door
What was all the sacrifice for
Tell me what was all the sacrifice for
Yeah, I had the vision of the stage
The lights, the fame
But the game is cruel (but the game is cruel)
It don't remember your name
Now I'm sitting here in the rain
With these broken dreams
That I can't reclaim
Broken dreams, shattered scenes
Life ain't what it seems
Tryna swim, but I'm against the streams
I'm lost in the echoes of my screams
Broken dreams in the night, they gleam
Like stars unseen
Life hit me hard like a rogue wave
One minute on top, next minute you are in the grave
All these dreams I was tryna save
Crashed down round me, uh, nothin' left to crave
Broken dreams, shattered seams

These dreams ain't gone
They just under the weather
I'll bring him to life
I'll make him last forever
