Shattered Dreams

Shattered Dreams

This gift from you was the best I had ever receive
It gave me a reason to smile, a reason to believe
It was perfect; it made my heart sing
It meant more to me than anything

At last my childhood dream had come true
Then it was gone leaving me sad and blue
A moment of anger, you threw it against a wall
I watched it shatter, I watched the pieces fall

I'd always wanted one since I was a child
Now it's shattered along with my smile
I wonder if you really understand how I felt
How this carrousel horse made my heart melt

It wasn`t much, but it meant the world to me
My heart sank as I dropped to my knees
I picked up the piecies and started to cry
For a brief moment I just wanted to die

There's nothing left to say, I can't even scream
My carrousel horse is shattered along with my dream
