Broken Dreams
Demotional Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can't you see you left me here down on my knees
Hear me scream
There's nothing left but broken dreams
I joke up in an empty room
Could still smell your perfume
Nothing left but time we spent
I wish it wouldn't end so soon
We were on fire from dusk till dawn
But you grew tired and just moved on
I can't believe that you would ask something like this of me
To just forget the life we had and live in tragedy
I can still feel your warm side of my bed
Though you left you're still in my head
Can't you see you left me here down on my knees
Hear me scream
There's nothing left but broken dreams
But life goes on at least so they say though this loneliness is breaking me
I try to defend but it's hard to pretend when I'm drifting around deranged in a haze
I've tried to reason with my self
Was it something I did or was it someone else
I just can't get you of my mind
The questions eating me inside
My heart is screaming I can't stay on track
Can't take this life I just want you back
Can't you see you left me here down on my knees
Hear me scream
There's nothing left but broken dreams
Grasping for something that isn't there can someone out there hear my prayer
I thought my heart was in good care
The light has turned into grey
I will remain in yesterday
I miss you
Can't you see you left me here down on my knees




Hear me scream
There's nothing left but broken dreams

The singer misses their lover and wishes for them to come back, but the reality of the situation is that they have to move on, despite how difficult it may be to let go of the past.

You abandoned me and left me in a vulnerable position


Hear me scream
I am vocalizing my pain and frustration


There's nothing left but broken dreams
All that remains of our relationship are shattered hopes and ambitions


I joke up in an empty room
I wake up and find myself alone and surrounded by emptiness


Could still smell your perfume
I can still sense your presence even though you're not here


Nothing left but time we spent
The only thing left of our time together are memories


I wish it wouldn't end so soon
I wanted our relationship to last longer


We were on fire from dusk till dawn
Our love was passionate and intense


But you grew tired and just moved on
You lost interest and abandoned our relationship


I can't believe that you would ask something like this of me
I am shocked that you would expect me to just forget our past and move on


To just forget the life we had and live in tragedy
You are asking me to disregard our happy past and live in misery


I can still feel your warm side of my bed
I can vividly remember your physical presence in my life


Though you left you're still in my head
You continue to occupy my thoughts despite being gone


But life goes on at least so they say though this loneliness is breaking me
Even though people say life moves on, my loneliness is destroying me


I try to defend but it's hard to pretend when I'm drifting around deranged in a haze
I attempt to deceive myself, but I am struggling to do so while mentally unstable


I've tried to reason with my self
I have attempted to logically explain and understand our breakup


Was it something I did or was it someone else
I question whether I am to blame or if someone else caused you to leave


I just can't get you of my mind
I cannot stop thinking about you


The questions eating me inside
My unanswered questions are destroying me from the inside


My heart is screaming I can't stay on track
My emotions are overwhelming and causing me to lose focus


Can't take this life I just want you back
I cannot handle this life without you, I desire your return


Grasping for something that isn't there can someone out there hear my prayer
I am searching for something that does not exist and am begging for someone to hear my pleas


I thought my heart was in good care
I believed that our love was secure


The light has turned into grey
My once bright and hopeful life is now bleak and depressing


I will remain in yesterday
I will be stuck in the past and unable to move forward


I miss you
I long for your presence


Can't you see you left me here down on my knees
You hurt me so much that I am struggling to stand


Hear me scream
I am crying out for help and support


There's nothing left but broken dreams
All that remains of our relationship are shattered hopes and ambitions

Can't you see you left me here down on my knees
Hear me scream
There's nothing left but broken dreams

I woke up in an empty room
Could still smell your perfume
Nothing left but time we spent
I wish it wouldn't end so soon
We were on fire from dusk till dawn
But you grew tired and just moved on
I can't believe that you would ask something like this of me
To just forget the life we had and live in tragedy
I can still feel your warm side of my bed
Though you left you're still in my head
Can't you see you left me here down on my knees
Hear me scream
There's nothing left but broken dreams
But life goes on at least so they say though this loneliness is breaking me
I try to defend but it's hard to pretend when I'm drifting around deranged in a haze
I've tried to reason with my self
Was it something I did or was it someone else
I just can't get you of my mind
The questions eating me inside
My heart is screaming I can't stay on track
Can't you see you left me here down on my knees
Hear me scream
There's nothing left but broken dreams
Grasping for something that isn't there can someone out there hear my prayer
I thought my heart was in good care
The light has turned into grey
I will remain in yesterday
I miss you
Can't you see you left me here down on my knees
Hear me scream
There's nothing left but broken dreams
