[Verse]
I see her smile it's a distant flame
Her light's so bright but I can't stake my claim
I'm caught in the grind the clock won't wait
And love feels like a dream that's running late
[Chorus]
Oh love you're the echo I can't hold
A treasure buried in the stories untold
Life's pulling strings I'm a puppet on display
Afraid to lose her but she's slipping away
[Verse 2]
She walks by with a rhythm so divine
A melody lost in this frantic design
I want to call her name but I bite my tongue
Afraid that life's stage will leave us unsung
[Chorus]
Oh love you're the echo I can't hold
A treasure buried in the stories untold
Life's pulling strings I'm a puppet on display
Afraid to lose her but she's slipping away
[Bridge]
Time's a thief with a cruel
Cold hand
Keeps us apart like grains of sand
If I don't leap now I'll regret the cost
But how do you fight when you're already lost
[Chorus]
Oh love you're the echo I can't hold
A treasure buried in the stories untold
Life's pulling strings I'm a puppet on display
Afraid to lose her but she's slipping away
