I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me, and I walk alone.
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one, and I walk alone.
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes, I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then, I walk alone.
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the borderline
Of the edge, and where I walk alone
Read between the lines
What's messed up, and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive, and I walk alone.
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one, and I walk alone.

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me, and I walk alone.
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one, and I walk alone.
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes, I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then, I walk alone.
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the borderline
Of the edge, and where I walk alone
Read between the lines
What's messed up, and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive, and I walk alone.
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one, and I walk alone.
Billie Joe Armstrong, 2004, "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams"
