Broken Dream
Alternative rock with post-grunge influences. Clean electric guitar arpeggios with light chorus and delay open the track. Distorted electric guitars enter for the chorus, playing thick power chords with high-gain saturation. The bass guitar follows the kick drum patterns with a gritty, overdriven tone. Drums feature a prominent snare with medium reverb and a punchy kick. Male vocals range from a breathy, intimate delivery in the verses to a powerful, belted chest voice in the choruses, occasionally utilizing vocal fry and grit. The arrangement alternates between sparse, atmospheric verses and dense, wall-of-sound choruses. Tempo is 145 BPM in 4/4 time, key of D minor.

Lyrics
Intro
clean electric guitar arpeggios with chorus and delay
Yeah
Verse 1
breathy male vocals
The coffee's cold, the kitchen's wide awake
Another promise that we had to break
Shadows fading on the bedroom wall
I'm standing still just waiting for the fall
And it hurts so bad [vocal grit]
Yeah, it burns in the dark
I guess this is where it ends
Chorus
distorted electric guitars enter, driving drums
Bleeding colors into gray
You took my breath and walked away
Walked away
An empty room, a silent scream
We're waking up from a broken dream
Waking up
Bleeding colors into gray
You took my breath and walked away
Walked away
An empty room, a silent scream
We're waking up from a broken dream
Waking up
Guitar Solo
distorted lead guitar with wah-wah effect
Verse 2
drums and distorted guitars drop out, clean guitar arpeggios return
I found your jacket left behind the door
It doesn't smell like memories anymore
Just dust and static on the radio
Why is it always so damn hard to let go?
Chorus
full band enters
Pieces of you, pieces of me
Nothing is left of what we used to be
Nothing left
Bleeding colors into gray
You took my breath and walked away
Walked away
An empty room, a silent scream
We're waking up from a broken dream
Waking up
Bridge
bass and drums only, clean guitar accents
I don't hate you
I just miss who we were
Slowly building up
Did you even care?
Did you? [distorted guitar swell]
Were you even there?
Were you? [belted vocals]
Were you even there?
Chorus
heavy distorted guitars, aggressive drumming
Bleeding colors into gray
You took my breath and walked away
Walked away
An empty room, a silent scream
We're waking up
Yeah, we're waking up
Pieces of you, pieces of me
Nothing is left of what we used to be
Nothing left
Outro
instruments fade out, clean guitar remains
From a broken dream
A broken dream
Goodbye
Goodbye
