Dreaming With A Broken Heart

John Mayer · Continuum [2006]

When you're dreaming with a broken heart

The waking up is the hardest part

You roll out of bed and down on your knees

And for a moment you can hardly breathe



Wondering, "Was she really here?

Is she standing in my room?"

No, she's not.

'Cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone



When you're dreaming with a broken heart

The giving up is the hardest part

She takes you in with her crying eyes

Then all at once you have to say goodbye



Wondering, "Could you stay my love?

Will you wake up by my side?"

But she can't

'Cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone



Now do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?

Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?

Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?

Do I have to fall asleep with roses, roses in my hand?



And would you get them if I did?

No you won't ...

'Cause you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone



When you're dreaming with a broken heart

The waking up is the hardest part
