Echos in the Dark

Verse 1
I drowned in the silence, chasing a high I can’t feel
Every face is a stranger, every touch feels unreal
I leave no reflection, just glass and the smoke in the air
If you reach out to find me, baby, I was never there

Pre-Chorus
All the lights fade, nothing to save
I’m the ghost in the room you can’t name
You still call out, but I’m past repair
And I swear I was never there

Chorus
I’m the shadow on your skin
Fading out before it begins
Every heartbeat, cold and bare
You loved a ghost, I was never there

Verse 2
Your perfume still lingers, but the warmth disappears
I’ve been bleeding in silence for a thousand years
Every whisper reminds me of a life I won’t share
You could die in my arms, but I was never there

Bridge
Tell me, does it burn when you dream of me?
Do you feel the void where my soul should be?
I’m the echo you chase through the midnight air
But you’ll never hold me — I was never there

Chorus (repeat)
I’m the shadow on your skin
Fading out before it begins
Every heartbeat, cold and bare
You loved a ghost, I was never there

Outro
No matter how close, I’ll always be gone
A song unfinished, a night too long
Remember my face, but don’t even dare
To believe that I was ever there
