I was happy
Up in the clouds
Why did you have to come
And drag me down?
My dreams are now like a broken window
The pieces are falling
You say I'm not talented enough
That I couldn't make it
Were you trying to bring me down?
Well you got what you wanted
I've given up on my dream
You fill me with so much hate
So much self-loathing
I thought I was good
I thought I could make it
But apparently I can't
I know that now
You were right
I'm not talented enough, I couldn't make it
All this time I spent hating myself
The only thing keeping me together was the thought that one day my dream would come true
You destroyed that, too
You don't know how much I despise you
But you were right
I was only trying to fool myself into thinking I could make it
But I can't
And now my dreams are shattered and hope has left me
Dreaming To Be A Singer
Shattered Dreams
