Lyrics

V1: Once upon a time
It seemed the world was mine
For the taking
I was making beautiful memories
Then, suddenly
My world came crashing down on me
All that mattered shattered in a heartbeat

Cho: Now I'm broken, oh, broken
Broken

V2: They say you can make it if you try
Oh, that's just a lie
I learned the hard way
It doesn't matter what they say
It's an illusion

You think you can have it all
Until you watch it all fall
That's when you come to see
The reality
Of the delusion

Cho:

V3: I heard it said somewhere
Life isn't always fair
I know that for a fact
I'm living proof of that
Let me warn you

If there's anything I've learned
Everybody gets a turn
No one can escape
The destiny that fate
Has in store for you

Cho:
