Dreamt to be broken

This little story I'm singin' about
I’m telling you, it's true
If you're a dreamer
This is what I got to say to you

I say dreams, yeah dreams
They’re dreamt to be broken
Your most cherished desires
Are the ones forsaken
If you like what you see
It’s best forgotten
‘cause dreams, yeah dreams
they’re dreamt to be broken

Was in this place n my mind
Was having the time of my life
That’s when my mama walked in
And turned on the lights

I say dreams, yeah dreams
They’re dreamt to be broken
Your most cherished desires
Are the ones forsaken
If you like what you see
It’s best forgotten
‘cause dreams, yeah dreams
are dreamt to be broken

I tell you me and my mind
On this we never can agree
Beats me why she's so blind
To something that’s so clear to me

If you have dreams, yeah dreams
They’re dreamt to be broken
Your most cherished desires
Are the ones forsaken
If you like what you see
It’s best forgotten
‘cause dreams, yeah dreams
they’re dreamt to be broken

Thought I had this woman
Till I saw her with another man
Thought she was a one of a kind
Till she did what only a woman can

If you have dreams, yeah dreams
They’re dreamt to be broken
Your most cherished desires
Are the ones forsaken
If you like what you see
It’s best forgotten
‘cause dreams, yeah dreams
they’re dreamt to be broken

I say take this from an old guy
Take it at face value
Don’t fall for your dreams
You'll only end feeling blue

Dreams, yeah dreams
Are dreamt to be broken
Your most cherished desires
Are the ones forsaken
If you like what you see
It’s best forgotten
‘cause dreams, yeah dreams
Are dreamt to be broken
