I wasn't always like this It happened when I was a child Heartbreak came early for me So like an animal I ran wild The pain I kept the secret Was ripping me at the seams The smile I wore was just a mask To quiet my silent screams No one ever took the time to notice The damage done to me That's how I ended up here You see The place that I call home Is a place I hope you never see No matter where I've roamed I can't escape the boulevard of broken dreams Long ago I gave up hoping That someday I'd escape But even when I made my break That old familiar pain remained They say time heals old wounds But that's not the case for me The years go by I wonder why? The ghost won't let me be No one ever took the time to notice The damage done to me That's how I ended up here On the boulevard of broken dreams The place that I call home Is a place I hope you never see No matter where I've roamed I can't escape the boulevard of broken dreams The boulevard of broken dreams The boulevard of broken dreams No one ever took the time to notice The damage done to me That's how I ended up here On the boulevard of broken dreams The place that I call home Is a place I hope you never see No matter where I've roamed I can't escape the boulevard of broken dreams The boulevard of broken dreams The boulevard of broken dreams
