[Verse 1]
I've watched you from afar for so long
In your eyes, I thought I could belong
My silent prayers, my endless dreams
Could you really be what you seem?
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you know what you mean to me?
Can you save me from this misery?
[Chorus]
Shattered dreams, broken heart
I thought you could save me, but you tore me apart
Fell for you, lost it all
Maybe I was just destined to fall
[Verse 2]
Your smile was my beacon of hope
In your laughter, I found ways to cope
You seemed to see the real me
Was it all just a fantasy?
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you know what you mean to me?
Can you save me from this misery?
[Chorus]
Shattered dreams, broken heart
I thought you could save me, but you tore me apart
Fell for you, lost it all
Maybe I was just destined to fall
[Bridge]
I confessed, laid my heart on the line
In your silence, I couldn't find the sign
You turned away, left me cold
This lonely story never gets old
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Shattered dreams, broken heart
I thought you could save me, but you tore me apart
Fell for you, lost it all
Maybe I was just destined to fall
[Outro]
Now I stand alone in the dark
Empty soul, with an aching heart
You were never the one for me
And now I'm finally set free
