I had a dream, a vision so clear We conquered the world, have nothing to fear
But now the sky is grey, the stars have lost their way Our castle in the air has crumbled into dismay
We built our world on promises and dreams, dreams But nothing's ever as perfect as it seems
Broken hopes and shattered dreams, nothing's ever what it seems
We reached for the sky but fell from grace But now I'm lost in this empty space
Every word you said felt like a lie
Promises made just to watch them die
We held on so tight but slipped through the night Now I'm left here alone with no end in sight
We built our world on promises and dreams, dreams
But nothing's ever as perfect as it seems
Broken hopes and shattered dreams, nothing's ever what it seems
We reached for the sky but fell from grace But now I'm lost in this empty space
Every word you said felt like a lie Promises made just to watch them die
We held on so tight but slipped through the night Now I'm left here alone with no end in sight
We built our world on promises and dreams, dreams
But nothing's ever as perfect as it seems
Broken hopes and shattered dreams, nothing's ever what it seems
We reached for the sky but fell from grace But now I'm lost in this empty space
All the words you said felt like a lie And now I'm lost in this empty space
All the plans we made, all the paths we paved Now they're just echoes of a love we couldn't save
I'm picking up the pieces but they're pieces I can't hold back
Is trying to find my way
But the light has faded
And the colors turn to grey
Broken hopes and shattered dreams
Nothing's ever what it seems
We reached for the sky but fell from grace
But now I'm lost in this empty space
So here I stand with my heart in my hands
Wondering if I'll ever understand
How something so right could turn out so wrong
In the silence I'll find a way to carry on
