Broken Dreams

Broken Dreams

What’s the use in living…when all I ask is why
And what’s the point in breathing, when all I do is cry

My eyes are icy cold, with only broken dreams to hold
Where are those sweet fairytales, those stories, you once told?

All my dreams have been turned, inside and upside down
And still you ask me everyday, why I wear this frown

People make promises…that they will never keep
Don’t you remember, promises are empty, and talk is just so cheap

I don’t wanna stay like this…for another single second
Another question, where’s the answer, another expression with no impression

Yet another sad presumption…so tell me where is the clue?
There’s so many unanswered thoughts inside, I don’t know what to do

I sink in shallow water…I drown in my emotions
I keep trying to reach the surface above, but I’m left to taste the ocean

The light living in my shaded eyes, is dimming now so fast
If nightfall were to come right now, I wonder if I’d last

In truth I want to live…. just not in this painful way
Cause’ every tomorrow up head, is just one more yesterday

And when people reach out to my hand, I assume they’ve another direction
So used to masks and emptiness, I’m haunted by past rejection.

Deathly thoughts have come and gone, and bittersweet words have been spoken
I keep trying to find the last breath of a dream, but all of my dreams have been broken...
