Dreaming With a Broken Heart

Dreaming with a Broken Heart by John Mayer discusses waking up to the reality that a relationship has ended. It is included in the Continuum album, released in 2006. The lyrics delve into sentiments of loss and the struggle to move on after a breakup.

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, 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 hands
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hands?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hands?
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
