[INTRO] (Soft acoustic guitar) Mmm... Yeah... --- [VERSE 1] Daddy always told me "Boy, you better chase that dream." Mama said, "Don't let love get somewhere in between." Then you came around Like a small-town summer rain Made me think forever Had your last name I had one hand on a guitar One hand holding yours Trying to build a future While knocking on heaven's doors Guess I was too busy running Trying to make us both proud And somewhere in the noise I lost what we had found --- [PRE-HOOK] You said "I can't keep waiting..." I said "Baby, just believe..." You packed your bags I packed my pain And neither one of us could leave --- [HOOK] Now I'm broke by heart Broke by dreams Caught somewhere in between The man I was And the man I had to be Girl, I gave you every piece Except the time you needed most Now this empty house Feels more like a ghost Yeah... I'm broke by heart --- [POST-HOOK] (Ooooooh...) Broke by heart... (Ooooooh...) Broke by dreams... --- [VERSE 2] I still drive past your mama's house Every now and then Tell myself I won't look over Then I look again My buddies say "You dodged a bullet." Maybe that's the truth But bullets don't leave memories The way losing you do Sometimes I wonder If I'd stayed in our hometown Would you still be sitting Right here beside me now? Or was goodbye always waiting At the end of our road? Maybe love ain't something You can hold onto --- [PRE-HOOK] You wanted forever I wanted it too I just thought I had a little more time with you --- [HOOK] Now I'm broke by heart Broke by dreams Caught somewhere in between The man I was And the man I had to be Girl, I gave you every piece Except the time you needed most Now this empty house Feels more like a ghost Yeah... I'm broke by heart --- [BRIDGE] Maybe chasing stars Means losing things you love Maybe God was teaching me Some dreams ain't enough Maybe one day You'll hear this song And know You were the best thing I ever got wrong --- [FINAL CHORUS] Now I'm broke by heart Broke by dreams Still hearing your memory sing I finally made it But you ain't here to see I'd trade every mile Every stage Every dollar that I made Just to hear you say "You came back for me." (Ooooooh...) Broke by heart... (Ooooooh...) Broke by dreams... --- [OUTRO] (Just acoustic guitar) Daddy always told me... "Boy... Chase that dream..." ... I wish somebody would've told me Dreams can break too...
