Broken Dreams
N-Trance Lyrics

Broken dreams, I'm feelin' no hope
My aspirations and desires have been shattered, and I am filled with despair.

Hold me close and don't let go, oh
Provide me with comfort and support, refusing to release me from your grasp.

You got a broken heart, yeah, feelin' low, oh (feelin' low, oh)
Your heart is wounded and experiencing sadness and despair.

Want me to hold you tight and don't let go, oh (don't let go, oh)
You desire for me to embrace you tightly and never release you.

'Cause I was posted in these streets with a broken soul (broken soul)
I found myself situated in these urban areas with a damaged and wounded spirit.

On this lonely road away from home, I didn't know where to go (yeah, let me talk my-)
Traveling along this desolate path, far from my place of belonging, feeling lost and uncertain of my destination.

I can't stand to be with you, I got abandonment issues
Being in your presence is unbearable for me, as I struggle with deep wounds of abandonment.

If me and you got a problem, I'm not gon' handle it with you
If we encounter any difficulties or conflicts, I will not address them alongside you.

I put my feelings on ice, left my heart in the pot
I suppressed my emotions, leaving my heart locked away and inaccessible.

Tried to leave that shit to melt and almost nearly forgot
Attempting to allow those emotions to thaw and fade away, almost reaching the point of forgetting them.

I used to sit in the rain, hopin' to diminish this pain
In the past, I would sit under the rain, longing for it to ease and lessen my anguish.

You stabbed me in the back not knowin' I got skin made for blade
Unaware of my resilience, you betrayed me deeply, not realizing I possess a tough exterior.

You crashed your car tryna figure out what I did in my lane
You experienced a disastrous consequence while attempting to discern my actions within my own realm.

I swept you off your feet and dirt is what you put on my name
I showered you with affection and admiration, yet you tarnished my reputation with derogatory remarks.

Tip-toein' to the money, try to catch me if you can
Carefully maneuvering towards financial gain, challenging others to keep up with my pace.

Broken dreams, I'm feelin' low, this wasn't a part of my plan
My shattered aspirations have left me feeling down and discouraged, deviating from the course I intended.

Thought you was ten toes 'til you testified on that stand
Believed you were committed and loyal until you testified against me in court.

You don't get it so it's time to make your mother understand, oh
Since you fail to comprehend, it is necessary to make your mother comprehend the situation.

You said you loved me but it wasn't unconditional
Despite claiming to love me, your affection was not without conditions or limitations.

I wanted you to win and I even put you in position to
I desired your success and even facilitated your advantageous circumstances.

Short term memory, you forgot what I did for you
You suffer from a lack of long-term recollection, forgetting the acts of kindness I bestowed upon you.

And fuck I look like ownin' up to shit I know I didn't do? (Yeah)
Why should I take responsibility for actions I am aware I did not commit?

Who put you in Céline and Chanelly?
Who provided you with luxurious brands like Céline and Chanel?

Deep down, I know you miss it when I would put dick in your belly (oh)
Internally, I am aware that you long for our intimate moments together.

I never listened to what niggas would tell me
I never paid heed to the advice or opinions of others.

I always thought the day it'd happen to me, I would be ready (oh)
I constantly believed that when such situations occurred in my life, I would be prepared to face them.

I'm a young fly nigga, swear, I could've been a pilot (been a pilot)
I am a stylish and confident individual, emphasizing that I possessed the qualities to become a pilot.

Confidential love, I wanted to keep it in private (in private)
I desired to maintain our passionate affection as a secret and exclusive affair.

And I can't explain this feelin' inside me
I am unable to articulate or elucidate the sensations deep within me.

And if I put my heart away, would you find it?
If I were to conceal my emotions, would you be able to discover and recover it?

Where I'm from, my youngins stay with protection
In my community, the youngsters ensure their safety by carrying weapons for protection.

They don't look in the mirror because they hate their reflection
They avoid looking in the mirror due to despising the reflection of themselves and their circumstances.

And the only chance they comin' home is if they make a confession
The sole opportunity for them to return home is by admitting guilt and confessing their transgressions.

'Cause these sidewalks filled with cracks
These sidewalks are riddled with imperfections and uncertainties.

You gotta watch where you steppin' (woah-oh, woah-oh)
One must be cautious and attentive in every step they take.

Streets the only reason why I'm cold (streets the only reason why I'm cold)
The harsh reality of the streets is the sole cause of my emotional detachment and aloofness.

Woah-oh, woah-oh
An exclamation expressing surprise or emphasis.

Don't let no one beside you if I let you go, oh (yeah)
If I decide to release you, do not allow anyone to take my place by your side.

Ain't got no heart for you to break mine (break mine)
I do not possess any emotional vulnerability for you to exploit and break.

And I ain't got no time for you to waste mine (waste mine, yeah)
I do not have any leisure to invest in you if you intend to squander it.

You only want me when it's late night (late night)
You solely desire my presence during the late hours of the night.

Broken-hearted but I still would let you take mine
Despite being emotionally wounded, I am still willing to offer you my heart.

You got a broken heart, yeah, feelin' low, oh (feelin' low, oh)
Your heart is wounded and experiencing sadness and despair.

Want me to hold you tight and don't let go, oh (don't let go, oh)
You desire for me to embrace you tightly and never release you.

'Cause I was posted in these streets with a broken soul (broken soul)
I found myself situated in these urban areas with a damaged and wounded spirit.

On this lonely road away from home, I didn't know where to go (oh-oh)
Traveling along this desolate path, far from my place of belonging, feeling lost and uncertain of my destination.
