Broken Little Dreamer
Journey of a Broken Dreamer: Love's Bittersweet Symphony
Lyrics
Let’s take it to the start, it was just me and my guitar
Reflecting on the beginning when the singer started her musical journey with just her and her guitar.
A dreamer on the road, no map, just all those stars
Describing herself as a dreamer traveling without a clear plan, guided only by the stars.
I never backed away, I played where I could play,
Expressing determination by playing wherever possible despite challenges.
Loneliness befriended me, felt older than my age
Feeling a sense of loneliness that made her feel older than her actual age.
I let go a little, I fell for something new,
Letting go of her usual routine, embracing something new, possibly a romantic involvement.
It was sweet for a moment, this love I never knew
Acknowledging a fleeting and unfamiliar love that brought sweetness to her life briefly.
He called me little dreamer and said I’d be okay
Being called "little dreamer" by her love interest, who reassures her that everything will be fine.
I let go of my ambitions and promised him I’d stay
Sacrificing personal ambitions for the relationship and making a commitment to stay.
Now all of my dreams are floating like a river in my head
Expressing a sense of loss as her dreams seem distant and unattainable.
At night in bed, talking to myself so wide awake
Conveying restlessness and self-reflection while lying in bed, unable to sleep.
He kept telling me to let go of my goals
Recounting advice to abandon her goals, which she unquestioningly followed.
I never questioned I just let go of my hopes
Choosing to let go of her hopes without questioning, possibly for the sake of the relationship.
Another vagabond who lost herself to love
Describing herself as another wanderer who got lost in love, emphasizing her lonely soul.
Oh my lonely soul
Expressing deep loneliness within her soul.
Now I'm watching as he moves on, tour the road
Observing her love interest moving on with life, touring, while she remains alone in an empty town.
and I just wander through this empty town alone
Feeling like a broken dreamer, destined to wander, acknowledging the need to move on.
Broken little dreamer, born to roam, oh off you go
Accepting the inevitability of departing and letting go.
I think it’s time to go
Expressing the realization that it's time to move on.
oh it’s time to go,
Repeating the sentiment that it's time to leave.
I think it's time to go
Reiterating the decision that it's time to move on, signaling the end of the relationship.
