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
