He was a wide eyed good guy That could sing a song and make you cry If anyone deserved it, it was him He sang his heart out to an empty room Cuz sometimes that's all you can do When the fire burns deep within you Oooo it's an endless sea of broken dreams Oooo the idea of that just kills me Sometimes we reach for the stars when they're not shining We question who we are when they're not lining Up for us Something must be wrong with us They promised us the stars But we can't see where they are She was a little kid with big dreams She could give you chills with her poetry If anyone deserved it it was her She got up on stage and realized nobody came Except ma and pa, but that's ok cuz There was not a dry eye in the empty room Oooo it's an endless sea of broken dreams Oooo the idea of that just kills me Sometimes we reach for the stars when they're not shining We question who we are when they're not lining Up for us Something must be wrong with us They promised us the stars But we can't see where they are They say follow your dreams But what the hell does that even mean From a person with a million dollar beach house They say, look at me, you can do it too Like their sold out stadiums are any better than our empty rooms Sometimes we reach for the stars when they're not shining We question who we are when they're not Lining up for us But we don't need attention cuz The empty room is good enough It's good enough for us
