When you're dreaming with a broken heart,
The waking up is the hardest part
You roll out of bed and down on your knees
And for a moment you can hardly breathe
Wondering was she really here
Is she standing in my room?
No, she's not
'Cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
When you're dreaming with a broken heart,
The giving up is the hardest part
She takes you in with her 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, gone, gone, gone, gone
Now do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my, roses in my hands?
Would you get them if I did?
No, you won't
'Cause you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
When you're dreaming with a broken heart,
The waking up is the hardest part.
The waking up is the hardest part
You roll out of bed and down on your knees
And for a moment you can hardly breathe
Wondering was she really here
Is she standing in my room?
No, she's not
'Cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
When you're dreaming with a broken heart,
The giving up is the hardest part
She takes you in with her 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, gone, gone, gone, gone
Now do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my, roses in my hands?
Would you get them if I did?
No, you won't
'Cause you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
When you're dreaming with a broken heart,
The waking up is the hardest part.

This song is everything I am feeling at the moment, and no matter what I try to move on, it's so hard.
Every night for the past 2 weeks, everywhere I go I see the 2 of us together smiling, laughing, walking arm in arm or hand in hand like we had done not too long ago. I dream every night about proposing to her, or our first kiss, and I wake up and there is a physical pain in my chest.
Though I had been infautated before, and said I was in love, I never truly loved someone until I met her. Now she's "gone gone gone gone" and waking up is the hardest part.
I trust God and know He has been healing me and getting me through this, but my heart hurts right now, and Im dreaming with a broken heart, just like JM.
It's a song of loneliness and lingering heartache from a failed relationship(s). I think it's about the want to love again and putting yourself out there. However the fear of rejection or heartbreak lingers so you subconsciously create a happy, ideal relationship in your dreams. Only when you wake up do you realize nothing was real, "'cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone...." You desperately want to return to that dream where you felt happy again even if it was brief. But only heartache remains. Amazingly haunting.
6 months later and it still brings me physical pain to listen to this song... this beautiful. Amazing song...
no you won't, 'cause you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....''???:/
he constantly dreams of her, and if he sleeps with roses he wonders if he can give them to her in his dreams
but then reality sets in, and he realizes she wont because shes simply gone.
