House of Echoes

I walk through the door, but it don’t feel like home, Walls whisper words that cut to the bone. Footsteps heavy, like they’re weighing me down, In a house full of voices, but no love to be found.

I tried to be perfect, I tried to be small, Hoping you'd see me, but you didn’t at all. Your love was a mirror that shattered way too fast, Now I’m picking up pieces of a love made from glass.

This ain't a home, just a house of echoes, Every "I love you" comes with a shadow. I scream but the silence just swallows me whole, I’m done chasing something that’s out of my control.

Your words like a weapon, but you call it love, Tell me I’m nothing, then say that I’m tough. Walking on eggshells, afraid of the tide, Drowning in guilt that was never mine.

I tried to be perfect, I tried to be small, Hoping you'd see me, but you didn’t at all. Your love was a mirror that shattered way too fast, Now I’m picking up pieces of a love made from glass.

This ain't a home, just a house of echoes, Every "I love you" comes with a shadow. I scream but the silence just swallows me whole, I’m done chasing something that’s out of my control.

Maybe one day, maybe one day, I’ll stop looking back, Stop hoping, stop hoping for love in the place that it lacks. But for now, I stand in the wreckage here, Turning my pain into something of my own.

This ain't a home, just a house of echoes, Every "I love you" comes with a shadow. But I won’t be a ghost in the place where I bled, I’ll build something real from the tears that I’ve shed.
