Broken (Reality) Lyrics

I'm wide awake, caught in a dream
But I can't face reality
Cause the weight is too much to bare

Under the gun, look what you've done
Made a fool out of everyone
We can't fix what isn't there

Holding on to yesterday
But it feels so far away

Our story ends, we can't pretend
Or kiss away all the difference
See the pieces on the floor

If I forgive your mistakes
A lie's the one thing I can't erase
Won't deny it anymore

Holding on to yesterday
But the truth's too clear to fade

Maybe this time we're broken
Cause I don't know where to go from here
Maybe this time
And if we can't turn back baby I don't wanna drown in tears
Maybe this time we're broken
Our tomorrow just disappear
Maybe this time we're broken, we're broken
Maybe this time we're broken
Cause I don't know where to go from here
Maybe this time
And if we can't turn back baby i don't wanna drown in tears
Maybe this time we're broken
Our tomorrow just disappear
Maybe this time we're broken, we're broken
Maybe this time we're broken
Maybe this time we're broken

From The Dining Table

I'm wide awake, caught in a dream
But I can't face reality
Cause the weight is too much to bare

Under the gun, look what you've done
Made a fool out of everyone
We can't fix what isn't there

Holding on to yesterday
But it feels so far away

Our story ends, we can't pretend
Or kiss away all the difference
See the pieces on the floor

If I forgive your mistakes
A lie's the one thing I can't erase
Won't deny it anymore

Holding on to yesterday
But the truth's too clear to fade

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
