Shattered Dreams Lyrics

Brought up on broken promises

A thousand times I've tried

Nose pressed against the windowpane

To fathom why they lied

A carefree kid, a golden child

Starting life so sure

That everyone and everything

Would always be that pure

But how soon disappointment came

In every clever guise

I realised the sham of life

Reflected in my eyes

Shattered dreams

Shattered dreams

Promises never kept

Teardrops shed a thousand times

A thousand times I've wept

Crystal fragments

Sapphire blue

Cascades of silver tears

Waterfalls of love and hate

Down throughout the years

Sounds and smells of times of gone by

Echoes of distant years

Hazy memories

Summer nights

A lifetime's hopes and fears

Sitting here and gazing out

Through the looking-glass

Wondering how we came so far

With futures built on pasts

Shattered dreams

Shattered dreams

Promises never kept

Teardrops shed a thousand times

A thousand times I've wept

Crystal fragments

Sapphire blue

Cascades of silver tears

Waterfalls of love and hate

Down throughout the years

Please tell me what it's all about

What it's all been for

We live our lives

We love our lives

But still we quest for more

And in the end when life is done

And we're in our winter time

Tell me, was it worth it

Was life so very fine

Was life so very fine

Was life so very fine
