StaggerD - Shattered Dreams Lyrics

Once I held the future in the palm of my hand
Built castles in the sky on foundations of sin
Every hope was golden, every dream so grand
But the winds of fate blew hard and I couldn't withstand

I watched it all come crashing down
The silence after the storm, the coldest sound

Shattered dreams lying on the floor
Fragments of my heart, pieces of before
Once I flew so high, now I can't ignore
The shattered dreams that haunt me forevermore

In the mirror, a stranger looks back at me
A reflection of the past, of what I used to be
Every step feels heavier, every breath less free
In the ruins of my dreams, I search for what's left of me

I watched it all come crashing down
The silence after the storm, the coldest sound

Shattered dreams lying on the floor
Fragments of my heart, pieces of before
Once I flew so high, now I can't ignore
The shattered dreams that haunt me forevermore

In the quiet of the night, I hear a distant voice
Whispering of second chances, a different choice
Through the tears and the pain, I start to find my way
In the shards of yesterday, there's a hope for a new day

Shattered dreams lying on the floor
Fragments of my heart, pieces of before
Once I flew so high, now I can't ignore
The shattered dreams that haunt me forevermore

Picking up the pieces, though the wounds are deep
From the shattered dreams, new dreams start to creep
In the echoes of the past, a promise I will keep
To rise from the ashes, from the depths so steep
