Ballad of Broken Dreams   |   Play   Buy  Lyrics Wake up the world but close my door 'cause I can't feel you anymore and something tells me this ain't right Behind the scenes you'll hear me sing a ballad of my broken dreams I can't even put up a fight Drop the gun, but carry on 'cause this is not where you belong and no one wants to hear you say goodbye From miles away we'll hear you scream a ballad of your broken dreams and all you really lost was your life I gave it my best but did you give it your all? I failed your test You trip and you fall Forgetting the rest but this is your call I'm giving up you can have it all You say that I say that you want me to change But I say if you stay things will never be the same And you say that I say I never wanted to stay before long I'll be gone and you wont have to go away I hit the road to clear my mind It leaves me feeling strangely fine but that don't mean I've figured things out Down the street I start to sing a ballad of my broken dreams lost beyond a shadow of a doubt Take it slow but dont be long and dont come back until you're gone we'll miss you every step of the way Remember how we used to sing a ballad of your broken dreams it seems like it were only yesterday
