In the shadow of a love that's torn
I'm strummin' on my guitar
Dumb dumb dumb dumb
Dumb dumb dumb
How can I be so dumb
I sing my sorrow
These broken melodies fill the empty room
Echoing the pain of a love that met its doom
My tears I cannot hide
With every chord
I purge the hurt inside
A ballad of heartbreak
My soul's only guide
The flames once danced
Now they're cold as ice
In the embers of our love
I find no paradise
Memories flicker
Like the ashes in the breeze
A bad breakup that shattered all my dreams
Shattered dreams all around
Can't pick up the pieces now
Lost in a world so dark and blue
Broken melodies cause I lost you
In the shadow of a love that's torn
I'm strummin' on my guitar
Dumb dumb dumb dumb
Dumb dumb dumb
How can I be so dumb
Broken hearts scattered like glass
Future gone it didn't last
Pictures fade memories blur
Love was sweet now it's a slur
Promises turned into lies
Tears fall from my weary eyes
Shattered dreams all around
Can't pick up the pieces now
Lost in a world so dark and blue
Broken melodies cause I lost you
Hope is gone can't find my way
Trying hard but hearts betray
Life moves on but I'm still here
Fighting through love's greatest fear
In the shadow of a love that's torn
I'm strummin' on my guitar
Dumb dumb dumb dumb
Dumb dumb dumb
How can I be so dumb
In the shadow of a love that's torn
I'm strummin' on my guitar
Dumb dumb dumb dumb
Dumb dumb dumb
How can I be so dumb
Hope is gone can't find my way
Trying hard but hearts betray
Life moves on but I'm still here
Fighting through love's greatest fear
In the shadow of a love that's torn
I'm strummin' on my guitar
Dumb dumb dumb dumb
Dumb dumb dumb
How can I be so dumb
In the shadow of a love that's torn
I'm strummin' on my guitar
Dumb dumb dumb dumb
Dumb dumb dumb
How can I be so dumb
