Fly Lyrics

Fly Lyrics: John Mayer’s “Dreaming With a Broken Heart”

Maybe I should have listened to Martin Lawrence when he lamented that “no one was immune to the trials and tribulations of life.” One such tribulation is that of having your heart broken by a loved one. You put all of your time, trust, and energy into this one person, and then what happens? They throw it all away…

If you’ve ever been unlucky enough to have your heart broken, you may believe that falling asleep is the hardest part of the process. Singer/songwriter John Mayer seems to think that waking up alone may be a little tougher. I tend to agree with his assessment. Check out his song “Dreaming With a Broken Heart” as it’s my selection for this week’s Fly Lyrics.

The Lyrics:

When you’re dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part
You roll outta bed and down on your knees
And for the moment you can hardly breathe
Wondering was she really here?
Is she standing in my room?
No she’s not, ’cause she’s gone

When you’re dreaming with a broken heart
The giving up is the hardest part
She takes you in with your crying eyes
Then all at once you have to say goodbye
Wondering could you stay my love?
Will you wake up by my side?
No she can’t, ’cause she’s gone
