At the start when we were young
Head games would keep us amused
Runnin' wild and carefree
We had it all with no fear that we'd lose
In time we learned to love
But the same has torn us apart
We know what's best, we know what's wrong
And yet somehow we're still alone
Shattered hearts, broken dreams
You said it wouldn't happen to me
Shattered hearts, broken dreams
I never asked to be free
Shattered hearts, broken dreams
The cold of night and ended trust
I sense your presence and feel the pain
You're leaving me again tonight
With a kiss goodbye and a hug in vain
Shattered hearts, broken dreams
You said it wouldn't happen to me
Shattered hearts, broken dreams
I never asked to be free
Shattered hearts, broken dreams
I'll pick up all the pieces
Of my life without you
You say it's dead, you say it's gone
But somehow love lives on and on, oh, yeah
Now I realize
We said things that we didn't mean
Instead of taking time on selfish needs
We should've lived up to each other's dreams
Shattered hearts, broken dreams
You said it wouldn't happen to me
Shattered hearts, broken dreams
I never asked to be free
Shattered hearts, broken dreams
You said it wouldn't happen to me
Shattered hearts, broken dreams
I never asked to be free
Shattered hearts, broken dreams
