Title

“Broken Strings & Shattered Dreams”

Full Song Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Am G
Once I strummed my guitar,
C D
Filled rooms with melody,
Am G
Now it’s only broken strings,
C D
And a symphony of agony.

(Chorus)
G D
Broken strings and shattered dreams,
Am C
Lost in the rhythm of life’s extremes,
G D
But I won’t fall, I won’t surrender,
Am C
To the echoes of a love, I barely remember.

(Verse 2)
Am G
Beneath the stage lights, I found my worth,
C D
In the heartbeats of the earth,
Am G
Now it’s shadows and silence,
C D
And a tune that’s lost its mirth.

(Chorus)
G D
Broken strings and shattered dreams,
Am C
Caught in the whirlwind of life’s schemes,
G D
But I’ll stand tall, I won’t falter,
Am C
Even when the world around me alter.
