boulevard of broken dreams
▲Greenday Lyrics

I walk a lonely road
I go through life feeling disconnected and alone

The only one that I have ever known
I have never felt anything different, this is my normal experience

Don't know where it goes
I have no clear direction or sense of purpose in life

But it's only me, and I walk alone
Despite my desire for connection, I am forced to navigate my challenges alone

I walk this empty street
Even in the midst of a city, I feel surrounded by emptiness and lack of real connections

On the boulevard of broken dreams
I am on a path where dreams and hopes have been shattered

Where the city sleeps
The city around me is unaware of my struggles and my inner turmoil

And I'm the only one, and I walk alone
I am all alone on this difficult path, without anyone to share my troubles with

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
I am so isolated and alone that even my own shadow is my only company

My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
My heart is still going, but only just, and it feels very superficial and unfulfilled

Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
At times, I yearn for someone to take notice of my struggles and reach out to me

Till then I walk alone
Until that imagined connection comes, I will continue to suffer on my own

I'm walking down the line
I am walking along a thin boundary in my mind between hopelessness and a glimmer of hope

That divides me somewhere in my mind
I feel at odds with myself, and my thoughts are very conflicted and confusing

On the border line of the edge
I am on the brink of a precipice, teetering between giving up and making a desperate effort to continue

What's fucked up and every thing's all right
Everything is fundamentally wrong, but I pretend that everything is normal and okay

Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
I am barely functional and am barely holding on to life and hope

I walk this empty street
I keep walking along this lonely path, without any clear destination or purpose

On the boulevard of broken dreams
I continue to traverse this depressing path of lost hopes and shattered dreams

Where the city sleeps
The city remains oblivious to my struggles and pain

And I'm the only one, and I walk alone
I remain alone on this path, without any hope of real connection or fulfillment

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
I remain completely alone, so much so that I seem to be a solitary figure even to my own shadow

My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
My heart continues beating, but the sense of superficiality and lack of fulfillment only grows stronger

Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Even as I wander aimlessly, I continue to hope that someone will see my struggles and reach out to me

Till then I walk alone
Until that hoped-for connection comes across my path, I will continue to suffer along this difficult and lonely road
