Mayer, John - Dreaming With A Broken Heart Lyrics






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 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 hand?
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

    Waking up in the morning and having to face the reality that she's gone is truly is the hardest part, the heartache and paralysis is numbingly painful

    The only thing

    xx Lol

    Listen, I know your heart feels like it has been torn out of your chest and is it ribbons bleeding on the floor. I know you can't breathe because the sorrow is choking you from the inside. I know you want to vomit up your intestines because it feels like that will remove the poison from your heart. I know. This pain will end. You will become stronger but you have to feel this first. Cry, scream, sing, draw, dance, whatever you have to do but KEEP GOING. You only lose if you quit. Never EVER quit, no matter what! See you on the other side. 😉

  21. Q.... O....

    Just went through a break up 3 weeks ago

  28. T.... P....

    She’s gone .... plot twist.... keep living y’all .... most of you are tougher than me..... and I’m pretty damn tough..... I believe in you all..... but that’s just my spark of daylight in a room full of grey darkness..... we’ll all find our way in this world and always remember that even though the good times and good feelings may not have lasted forever the pain won’t either..... you’ll get stronger everyday and one day you’ll look in the mirror and see love itself, and you’ll cry from being so happy to rediscover the true you...... now that’s beautiful...... that’s a plot twist for yo ass..... so chin up.

    T.... P....

    Well stated. #StayingStrong as hard as it may be. A New life with mTBI & PCS..My plot is #Me #TheOldMe.... She's gone

  31. O.... C....

    I'm a huge John Mayer fan but I just found out about this song. It has now become my favorite along with Heartbreak Warfare.
    I don't know where I read this but someone once said that songs are better written with a broken heart...

    I fell in love with a girl who I've known for years. Our parents are great friends so they would always plan trips and both families would spend a lot of time together. I always felt something for her but I was so young I couldn't really describe those feelings, I simply ignored them and moved on. I now realize that I was in love... We studied at different high schools so we really didn't spend time together outside of the trips and when our families would get together. She always treated me nicely and she would tell me that she had few friends... I feel really bad that I never asked her out. I recently found out that she liked me all this time, all these years. I also liked her but I never told her... Now we live in different cities, we are now at different colleges. I saw her again recently but I really wish I didn't. Because now I can't stop thinking about her and I'm just so regretful. I regret everything and I regret that I never told her how I felt. Maybe we just weren't destined to be together... 💔
    To all of those who are heartbroken (including myself) I'm sure we will be fine, it gets better 😃

  32. J.... W....

    Mommy, I miss you ❤😘❤

  33. J.... J....

    This song right here,is the answer to how I'm feeling,feelings tgat I should not even be entertaining, he was never going to be what he said that he was to me,I was given a pacifier, when I never asked to be there,now the brokenness of this relationship with a ghost haunts me in my dreams,and I've gotten the message, I just need the freeway out of a situation that was paid for with pennies, ,that he didn't even need

  44. m.... ....

  57. C.... G....

    This song makes me think about one of my best friends that was murdered I had no still do have a broken heart it was really bad that night after finding out that I happend I dreamed about our friendship nd when I woke up I thought he was still alive I cried so much I miss him everyday

  58. t.... b....

    My grandfather recently passed in December of old age and I can’t help but think of him when I hear this song. The night after his funeral I dreamt that I was a kid again, sitting in his lap, reading a book with him. I woke up sobbing. I miss him so much but I know he’s a lot better off wherever he is. Love you Poppy ♥️♥️

  59. A.... R....

    Who's here because of Shawn ?

  60. S.... J....

    🦄 Te you brought me here

  61. A.... R....

    This has the truest words that describes myself right now

  62. I.... R....

    Shawn said he would listen this song for rest of his life.

  63. E.... ....

    Yeah I think I know why Shawn likes this song...

  64. C.... L....

    I mean...Shawn knows whats upp👌

    C.... L....

    he is literally going to tattoo this lyrics

    C.... L....

    Gald to see people still have a taste in music...

  65. s.... F....

    This song, is so beautiful .

  66. D.... S....

    Different from the song's meaning - but this song was playing on the radio the year my daughter died --- really something to find it again. Tell you nothing breaks your heart quite like having to bury your child. That first verse kills me every time -- been living that for 12 years now.

  67. K.... G....

    Yung nandito ka dahil kay xxakanexx

  68. L.... B....

    Song when I'm blue I love you baby. Instant sadness

  69. d.... ....

    Nandito ako dahil kay ate Peach 😂

  70. k.... 0....

    Man, i remember listening to this song mAny times when my ex and i broke up. Worst feeling ever ,feel so down.

  71. T.... H....

    Junghyun I remember u now🖤
    Who missed him!?

  72. c.... ....

    My first crush is about to graduate in June and I don't know what to do :')


    14/06/19 - he graduated today and i feel like my heart has been ripped out and into two.i'm never going to see him again.

  73. K.... B....

    Well, even if I'm gone he will not even bother to care, because he doesn't love me! That's the opposite of my situation with this song, but I find this song really really sad, like I have to assume that he cares at least 1% and then he'll be this sad when I'm gone. Foolishness!!! 🔪🔪🔪💔💔💔💔

  74. R.... J....

    Fuck life.

    R.... J....

    Get happy jay

  75. J.... S....

    OMG I forgot the name of this song AND I FINALLY FOUND THIS SONG! 😭😭😭😭

  76. T.... ....

    2 days ago i got broke with my gf.she brought me here..

  77. P.... C....

    I interpret the lyrics slighty diffrent. I lost my daughter in 2011 while deloyed in Afghanistan and she's all i think about when i hear this. Due to the location and situation of my deployment i wasnt able to go to her funeral. Ive played it at her grave many times.

    P.... C....

    First of all thank you for your service. I also lost my son 17 years ago 2 days after watching him graduate from first to second grade in a bicycle accident with a school bus. I literally went to his gravesite every weekend for 7 years. The point is , there is no rule for grieving , especially when a child is buried. One day at a time is all we get. Friends , family , co-workers , it all matters. Talk when you feel like talking and whatever else is relative for you. And , don't let ANYONE else determine how , how long , or when you grieve. I wish you the best and know this :
    GOD never gives us more than HE knows we can handle. Stay strong.

    P.... C....

    :'( God bless you brother

    P.... C....

    I'm so sorry.

    P.... C....

    I’m so sorry. There are no words to describe the feeling of that kind of loss. Sending love your way. Thank you for your service.❤️

    P.... C....

    YOU WILL SEE HER AGAIN....LIVE FOR HER INTO THAT DAY COMES..

    2019 and still dreaming with a broken heart

  80. J.... N....

    This song doesn't even make me think of anyone. I just have severe depression.

  81. A.... C....

    Who the hell cares abt who brought you here

  82. Q.... C....

    If she is gone gone gone. The go go go after her. Are you the reason why she gone gone gone????

  83. S.... B....

    3 1/2 years and I'm still here 😥💔

  84. C.... S....

    I just don't feel like waking up no more .💔💔💔💔💔

  85. J.... _....

    Literally relive my worst heart break every time I hear this song ... if you make it through the whole song without crying you might be a serial killer 🤷🏽‍♀️😢😢😢😢

  86. W.... S....

    Damn it Duran get tf out of my mind. It's been months!

  87. T.... L....

    When your dreaming with a broken heart 💔 waking up is the hardest part. ......... Roses in my hands🌹🌹🌹cause she's gone, gone... Gone🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏

  88. s.... ....

    I miss when I used to be able to listen to songs like this and feel emotion. Now my heart is just cold and dead.

  89. A.... J....

    i was in love.....but it was all a lie. he was lying to me, and i was lying to myself.

  90. C.... R....

    Lovely powerful song for transitions

  91. R.... ....

    This song still breaks me down like we just broke up. Still heartbroken and willing to do anything to get you back TLB.

  92. A.... D....

    I love these types of chord progressions

  93. M.... m....

    Was she really here standing in front of my door

  94. h.... s....

    I love dis song

  95. S.... R....

    Im not crying, you are

  96. M.... �....

    This song hits me hard

  97. J.... M....

    10+ years together....3 kids.... allot of memorys and now you dont want me anymore 💔

  98. C.... R....

    I'm sending a prayer for everyone who is going through anything tough to get over without there other half beside them...
    I just woke up and she's gone, as usual I still love her and miss her..
    God please make this pain go away!!!!
