I once thought I'll learn guitar
To play like Barbie in that diamond castle movie
When I really got into it
Fingers were sore from the steel strings cutting
And later I abandoned my guitar
Then later after some time
I saw my guitar physically broken
Like promises I couldn't keep
Broken strings and broken dreams
Nothing's ever simple as it seems
I left you gathering dust
Till you fell apart like us
Now I'm humming melodies
Of everything I couldn't be
Some things aren't meant to last
Just memories of the past
Pink plastic dreams and fairytale scenes
Turned into calluses and missed routines
Should've known better than to think
I could turn into something I'm not
Now my guitar's in pieces on the floor
Like all the songs I never wrote
All the chords I never played
All the notes that got away
Maybe i'm just too afraid
of putting in the work and feeling the pain
easier to let things break
than to face the fact that i might not be great
found the guitar under my bed
strings all twisted, collecting regret
funny how it mirrors everything else
that i gave up on myself
Broken strings and broken dreams
Nothing's ever simple as it seems
I left you gathering dust
Till you fell apart like us
Now I'm humming melodies
Of everything I couldn't be
Some things aren't meant to last
Just memories of the past
Sometimes I still hear those diamond castle songs
Playing in my head when things go wrong
Maybe it's better this way
Some dreams are meant to fade
Some strings are meant to break
Broken strings and broken dreams
Nothing's ever simple as it seems
I left you gathering dust
Till you fell apart like us
Now I'm humming melodies
Of everything I couldn't be
Some things aren't meant to last
Just memories of the past
My guitar's broken on my bedroom floor
just like everything else i dreamt before...
