Broken Dreams
Kid Courageous Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never grew up to do the things you were good at
Hey now, are you mad for times i'm wrong?
Well i'm sorry
One day, one day
One day i'll look back upon these years
Broken dreams and teenage fears they made me stronger
Speak your mind and tell me what you're thinking
I want to make you proud don't say that i'm dreaming
I need you more than ever say you'll help me
You know i'm sorry
One day i'll look back upon these years
Broken dreams and teenage fears they made me stronger
And threw it all away
Please don't say it's easy when you're younger
