[Verse 1]

Hey Nancy, may I make you a night call?

Without you here, I feel incredibly cold

But the main problem ain't the distance

Life without love is merely existence

I remember the agreement we made

I have to pour my sadness into your plate

Two children, each with their own cruel fate

Life is too short to wait

And the words of hope that followed

Other outcomes were simply ignored

Were simply ignored, were simply ignored

Being blind, I thought they would be devoured

And I know you never asked me for gifts

I was trying to distract you from problems

I’m not sure how well it turned out, really

I gifted them a bit more than yearly

I wish I could burn all your problems to ashes

Throwing mine into the fire for good measure

I'm giving you this song as a memento

And beneath the moon, I'll howl in a crescendo

[Chorus]

Broken dreams hit hard

Then they look into your eyes

It’s tearing me apart

You'll melt away like spring ice

Broken dreams hit hard

Then they look into your eyes

It's tearing me apart

You'll melt away like spring ice

[Verse 2]

I walked in the dark, heading toward the wind

Along forgotten rails and railroad ties

The railroad tie beneath me is rotting

Thank you for canceling your plans for my birthday

I was probably just lost for words

Wanna bet that I've outpaced you in hair loss?

Amid my thoughts of you, the Geiger counter clicks along

You know, I've been feeling alone for so long

Even in your dreams, you dream that I've forgotten you

Maybe you want me to leave and stop loving you

You said something like, "You'll find someone better"

But I don’t want to, and I cannot

You didn’t mean to make me hurt

But you weighed heavily on my heart

There is a fine line between love and hate

I'm on a journey between them

My eyes are green, like your friend’s bottle

To get attention, I have to battle

I'd be a cigarette, but you wouldn't smoke me

An expected fate, but hope beckons me

Why does limerence exist?

And how can I theoretically resist?

How can I calm a pet that wants to be patted?

How do dogs feel when their owner isn't around?

[Chorus]

Broken dreams hit hard

Then they look into your eyes

It’s tearing me apart

You'll melt away like spring ice

Broken dreams hit hard

Then they look into your eyes

It's tearing me apart

You'll melt away like spring ice

[Verse 3]

All I want from life is to lie on my side

And gaze at you forever

As I'm falling asleep, I won't lie

That there are two of us, and we're a family

These sweet scenarios aren't just made up out of nowhere

I've seen you loving and I know what you can be

You don't know it, but your eyes always follow me

But for you, I'll get down on one knee

As I wait for dawn, I hope the sun will peek out

And show us the way, the true path

We'll spend our old age together

And in the end, we'll screw old lady Death

[Chorus]

Broken dreams hit hard

Then they look into your eyes

It's tearing me apart

You'll melt away like spring ice

Broken dreams hit hard

Then they look into your eyes

It's tearing me apart

You'll melt away like spring ice

[Chorus]

Broken dreams hit hard

Then they look into your eyes

It's tearing me apart

You'll melt away like spring ice

Broken dreams hit hard

Then they look into your eyes

It's tearing me apart

You'll melt away like spring ice
