Shattered dreams

{vinyl crackle, somber piano chords,

heavy 808 sub bass drop} (yeah)

(uh-huh) Woke up this morning,

the room felt cold,

Realized the future we built was just a mold.

You said we’d climb mountains,

touch the sky, But you left me stranded,

watchin’ our dreams die.

I still see your face in the shards on the floor,

A million “what ifs” knockin’ at my door.

We had a story,

a script, a perfect scene,

Now it’s just a ghost,

a shattered dream.

Shattered dreams, they cut like glass,

Every promise made, just a memory that won’t last.

We built a world,

then you let it fall,

Now I’m pickin’ up the pieces of what we had,

of it all. Shattered dreams,

lie at my feet,

A love that was so strong,

now incomplete. You took my heart

and turned it to steam,

Left me here with nothing but shattered dreams.

I found our old photos,

faded and torn, Remindin’ me of a love that’s now gone.

We laughed, we cried,

we swore it’d be forever,

But forever’s a word that’s lost in bad weather.

You said we’d plant a tree and watch it grow,

But you burned the seeds before they could even show.

Now the forest we planned is just a desert of pain,

Another casualty in the game of love,

it seems. Just another song about shattered dreams.

I thought we were different,

that we’d beat the odds,

But you’re just a player,

and I was just a job.

You took my hope,

my faith, my everything,

And turned it into a song about…

{sudden beat drop, filter sweep} Shattered dreams,

they cut like glass,

Every promise made, just a memory that won’t last.

We built a world,

then you let it fall,

Now I’m pickin’ up the pieces of what we had,

of it all. Shattered dreams,

lie at my feet,

A love that was so strong,

now incomplete. You took my heart and turned it to steam,

Left me here with nothing but shattered dreams.

Yeah… just shattered dreams.

Now I’m pickin’ up the pieces,

tryin’ to mend what’s left.

But some broken things… they just can’t be fixed.

Shattered dreams.
