The Story Behind This Song

Sometimes your entire life can change in one hospital room.

Broken Heart & Busted Dreams was written for that terrifying moment when you're sitting beside the person you love and realizing the future you assumed you had together may suddenly be gone. The plans, the ordinary mornings, the vacations, the arguments, the growing old together — everything can become uncertain in the space of a heartbeat.

It's about the helplessness of watching someone you love suffer, the fear of having to say goodbye, and grieving not only the person you might lose, but every dream you thought you still had time to live together.

Because sometimes a broken heart isn't caused by somebody leaving.

Sometimes life itself walks into the room and changes everything.

And suddenly you're holding a lifetime of love, a broken heart, and a pile of busted dreams.

Lyrics

Verse 1
I've been sleeping in this chair
With your hand inside of mine
Watching numbers on a screen

I keep begging you, don't leave me
Like you get a choice
We were supposed to have forever
What am I supposed to do now?
Chorus
Broken heart and busted dreams
Nothing's how it's supposed to be
One more breath, one more beat
God, don't take him yet from me
I can't think about tomorrow
I can barely stand today
So I'll hold his hand and fall apart
And breathe my way
Through this
broken heart And busted dreams
Verse 2
Everybody says they love me
Then they go back to their lives
And I go back to that bedside
And watch the man I love fight

His coffee cup, his side of the bed
God, how do I walk back in there?
Chorus
Broken heart and busted dreams
Nothing's how it's supposed to be
One more breath, one more beat
God, don't take him yet from me
I can't think about tomorrow
I can barely stand today
So I'll hold his hand and fall apart
And breathe my way
Through this
broken heart and busted dreams
Bridge
Don't tell me I'll be okay
Don't tell me time will heal
Just sit beside me in this hell
And let me feel what I feel----

Final Chorus
Broken heart and busted dreams
Nothing's how it's supposed to be
One more breath, one more beat
That's all I've got left in me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
I'll meet it if I can
But tonight I'm right here beside you
Still holding your hand
With a
broken heart And busted dreams.

Broken heart and busted dreams
Nothing's how it's supposed to be
Broken heart and busted dreams
