City of dreams

[Intro]
City lights glow like distant stars
Street sounds hum beneath the cars
Another night fades into gray
I’m still searching for a way

[Verse 1]
I walk these blocks with empty hands
Past the café where we used to stand
Your laughter echoes in the rain
But you’re just a ghost inside my brain
The subway roars it’s time to go
Another face I’ll never know
We’re all just strangers in the crowd
Chasing shadows never found

[Chorus]
City of dreams city of tears
Paved with hopes and broken fears
Every street has a story to tell
Hearts get lost but they never dwell
City of lights city of night
Holding on with all our might
We rise we fall we break we bend
In the rhythm of the city’s end

[Verse 2]
Morning comes the sun’s too bright
Reveals the cracks we try to hide
Newspapers blow through empty lots
Forgotten dreams and broken plots
The barista smiles she knows my name
But not the storm inside my brain
We share a joke we make small talk
Then I’m alone again when I walk

[Chorus]
City of dreams city of tears
Paved with hopes and broken fears
Every street has a story to tell
Hearts get lost but they never dwell
City of lights city of night
Holding on with all our might
We rise we fall we break we bend
In the rhythm of the city’s end

[Bridge]
Sometimes I wonder if I’ll find
A place where my soul can unwind
But the city’s pulse is in my veins
A never ending song remains

[Chorus]
City of dreams city of tears
Paved with hopes and broken fears
Every street has a story to tell
Hearts get lost but they never dwell
City of lights city of night
Holding on with all our might
We rise we fall we break we bend
In the rhythm of the city’s end

[Outro]
City lights glow like distant stars
Street sounds hum beneath the cars
Another night fades into gray
I’m still searching for a way
