Dreams That Never Breathed

A haunting reflection on dreams lost to life’s relentless demands. Watching hope slowly drown beneath everyday struggles, this song captures the quiet ache of a life unlived and dreams that never had the chance to breathe.

Dreams That Never Breathed

Lyrics:

Intro
A breath she never took... a life she never lived...

Verse 1
She once drew stars on notebook lines
Wrote her name between the sky and time
But bills piled up, and clocks ran fast
Now those dreams live in the past

Chorus
Dreams that never breathed, never spoke aloud
Drowned beneath the weight of the everyday crowd
They faded like mist, before they could try
And no one asked why... no one asked why

Verse 2
She smiled through days that weren’t her own
Carried plans she’d never shown
She walked in shoes she didn’t choose
Chasing life she’d always lose

Pre-chorus
There’s a cost to silence, a price to delay
Some dreams die slow… then slip away

Chorus
Dreams that never breathed, never saw the sun
Traded for survival, till there were none
They drift in the dark, like ghosts in her chest
She gave them her best… but laid them to rest

Bridge
She says she's fine.
She always says she's fine.
But the dreams still knock
on locked doors at night.

Chorus
Dreams that never breathed, she buried them deep
Under calendars, paychecks, promises to keep
They’ll never fly, but they still ache
A life unlived — that’s what they take

Outro
A breath she never took…
A life she never lived...
