Left Broken Hearted
Verse 1
All she dreamed for was a family life
A small home with a picket fence of white.
A sweet lovin’ child and a husband to hold
When it came to the dark of the night.
Then one day it happened “til death do us part”
He vowed that he’d always be there.
Then she got the small home and the white picket fence
A lovin’ husband and a child to share.
Pre-Chorus
But life can play tricks, on a love weary heart.
Before you can catch it, loves fallin’ apart.
Chorus
Why do we want dreams, to ever come true,
When they fade as fast as they started.
We’re left looking’ through, the tears that grew,
We’re branded then left broken hearted.
Verse 2
Well time ticked on, and soon passed her by,
As she sat there so often alone.
Holdin’ in memories, fightin’ back tears,
Would there forever, never be known.
Sometimes loves flames, get lost in the rains,
There’s no answers to questions of why.
Lifes rainbow’s are tainted, their colors repainted,
Two hearts still in love, say goodbye.
Chorus
Why do we want dreams to ever come true
When they fade as fast as they started.
We’re left looking’ through, the tears that grew
We’re branded then left broken hearted.
Bridge
Now the white picket fence is faded
Their small home sits empty and bare.
Through the windows you’ll see, so hauntingly
Her dreams that grew old and died there.
The memories carry on, the love that's now gone
Out of two hearts, that since have parted.
In the dreams that came true, pain sadly grew,
She was branded then left broken hearted.
