Boulevard Of Broken Dreams

Green Day · Bullet In A Bible (live) [2005]

I walk a lonely road

The only one that I have ever known

Don't know where it goes

But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street

On the boulevard of broken dreams

When the city sleeps

And I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone

I walk alone

I walk alone

I walk a

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me

My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating

Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me

'Til then I walk alone

I'm walking down the line

That divides me somewhere in my mind

On the borderline of the edge

And where I walk alone

Read between the lines of what's

Fucked up and everything's alright

Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive

And I walk alone

I walk alone

I walk alone

I walk alone

I walk a

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me

My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating

Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me

'Til then I walk alone

I walk alone

I walk a

I walk this empty street

On the boulevard of broken dreams

Where the city sleeps

And I'm the only one and I walk a

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me

My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating

Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me

'Til then I walk alone

Boulevard Of Broken Dreams

Green Day's 'Boulevard Of Broken Dreams' stands as a defining anthem of the 2004 album 'American Idiot,' capturing the angst and disillusionment of a generation through its haunting melody and introspective lyrics. Originally released on the studio album, the track has since become a staple of their live performances, notably featured on the 2005 recording 'Bullet In A Bible.' The song's blend of punk energy and melodic pop structure helped solidify Green Day's evolution from skate-punk pioneers to a band capable of crafting deeply emotional, radio-friendly rock. Its enduring popularity stems from its ability to resonate with listeners facing personal struggles, making it a timeless piece within the band's extensive discography and a cornerstone of modern alternative rock.
