Lirik lagu "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" sebagai berikut:

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's only 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
 
I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk alone, and I walk a
 
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
 
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
 
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And where I walk alone
 
Read between the lines
What's fucked up and every thing's all right
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone
 
I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk alone and I walk a
 
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
 
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah
 
I walk alone, and I walk a
 
I walk this empty street
On the boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one, and I walk a

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
 
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah
 
I walk alone, and I walk a
 
I walk this empty street
On the boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one, and I walk a
 
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
