Dreaming with a Broken Heart
Navigating Heartbreak: The Challenge of Waking Up from Love's Illusions
Lyrics
When you're dreaming with a broken heart,
Experiencing dreams while dealing with emotional pain
The waking up is the hardest part
Waking up from these dreams is emotionally challenging
You roll out of bed and down on your knees
Getting out of bed, feeling a sense of desperation
And for a moment you can hardly breathe
Momentarily struggling to breathe due to emotional distress
Wondering was she really here
Questioning the reality of a past relationship
Is she standing in my room?
Wondering if the person is still present in some way
No, she's not
Realizing that the person is not physically there
'Cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Emphasizing the absence with repeated "gone"
When you're dreaming with a broken heart,
Contemplating the difficulty of letting go in dreams
The giving up is the hardest part
Acknowledging the challenge of giving up on the past
She takes you in with her crying eyes
Being captivated by the person's sad eyes
Then all at once you have to say goodbye
Suddenly having to face the reality of saying goodbye
Wondering, could you stay, my love?
Questioning if the person could have stayed
Will you wake up by my side?
Wishing for the person to wake up together
No, she can't
Realizing the impossibility of the person's return
'Cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Reiterating the finality with repeated "gone"
Now do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Contemplating whether romantic gestures matter after loss
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
-Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
-Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my, roses in my hands?
-Would you get them if I did?
Questioning if these gestures would make a difference
No, you won't
Acknowledging that the gestures won't be received
'Cause you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Emphasizing the permanence of the person's absence
When you're dreaming with a broken heart,
Revisiting the difficulty of waking up from these dreams
The waking up is the hardest part.
Reiterating the emotional challenge of waking up
