Broken Dreams x Faded Jeans
“in the echoes of the night, a song plays clear,
"ur man" by slayyyter, whispers in my ear.
a tale of love, of choices made,
when hearts collide, and trust starts to fade.
for both men and women, the message rings true,
if they’ve chosen another, it’s time to break through.
in friendships or love, when the bond starts to fray,
let them go gently, don’t let your heart sway.
in recovery we rise, from shadows we flee,
not just from addiction, but from what’s not meant to be.
dual diagnosis, the struggles we face,
healing takes time, but we find our own space.
so dance to the rhythm, let the past be the past,
embrace your own journey, hold on tight, don’t let it slip fast.
with friends by your side, together we’ll thrive,
in the light of self-love, we learn to survive.
let go of the weight, let your spirit be free,
for in choosing yourself, you’ll find who you’re meant to be.
so sing out the chorus, let your heart take a stand,
in the melody of life, we’ll find our own band.”
