Dreams Of A Broken Heart

Now there's no answers coming down from above.
I get no helping from no one.
I'm just a whining vagrant who's never known love.
Drowning in a great ocean.

But there's nowhere I would rather be than here and now.
It's not as bad as it seems.
And maybe I can't breath and the currents pull me down.
But it's surely one hell of a scene.

And it feels like the dreams of a broken heart.
One who thought he would know love is somewhere.
I am just like a machine gun that's falling apart.
But there ain't no Meat Loaf song filling up this dead air.

So take your fancy words and parlor tricks.
And you can shove them all you know where.
If I ever see you running around in the mix.
Nobody's gonna save you cause they know fair is fair.

It was so long ago and far away.
But I can see our shadows in the backyard now.
We're kissing by the tree in the middle of the day.
There's no use in hiding it if we don't know how.

Do you believe in the dreams of a broken heart?
Is there a road that can lead me to you?
Did I ever stand a chance against them from the start?
Or was there nothing I could really do?

I can still see your smile right in front of me now.
As if it were a decade ago.
You know I never thought I'd be writing a song like this down.
I guess it's true that the future still ain't known.

And it still feels like the dreams of a broken heart.
I've got nowhere to go and I'm still missing you.
I've tried a couple other loves along the way.
But they only make me long for you more.

So I suppose that now it's time for me to fall apart.
I've got nothing to lose and nobody to do.
I've still got breath in my lungs yet to say.
But I'm clamming up and heading to the door.

I'm still living in the dreams of a broken heart.
I can safely say that I don't know why.
I was never going to win you over from the start.
So I guess that this is how I say goodbye.
