[Verse 1]
Your side of the bed still feels warm somehow,
Even though you're nowhere around.
Morning light spills across the floor,
But it doesn't look the way it did before.
I hear your laughter in the pouring rain,
See your silhouette on every train.
Every stranger wears your eyes,
Then disappears before I realize.
---
[Pre-Chorus]
They tell me time
Can quiet every ghost.
So why are you
The one I hear the most?
---
[Chorus]
You're only echoes
Floating through my mind,
A voice the morning couldn't leave behind.
Every heartbeat calls your name,
Every memory burns the same.
If I close my eyes,
You're standing next to me.
If I open them...
You're just a memory.
---
[Verse 2]
I keep reaching for a hand that's gone,
Holding conversations with the dawn.
Wondering if somewhere, somehow,
You're dreaming of me right now.
The streets remember where we used to run,
Even if we never touched the sun.
Maybe love was never meant to stay,
Maybe it was meant to light the way.
---
[Pre-Chorus]
If dreams can fade,
Why does my heart refuse?
How can something
That never happened
Leave these bruises?
---
[Chorus]
You're only echoes,
Calling through the dark.
A fading melody inside my heart.
Every whisper sounds like home,
Even when I'm here alone.
If I close my eyes,
You're standing next to me.
If I open them...
You're just a memory.
---
[Bridge]
Maybe you were never someone
I was meant to find.
Maybe you were always
The missing piece inside.
Every dream
You gave me
Still survives.
So even if you're gone...
A part of you
Is still alive.
---
[Final Chorus]
You're more than echoes
Now I understand.
You were hope
Before I knew I had a chance.
Every step I take today
Still carries what you gave.
When I close my eyes,
I don't run away.
I bring your light
Into another day.
---
[Outro]
(Soft piano. Gentle vocal harmonies.)
I don't hear your voice...
The way I used to.
I hear it...
Inside my own.
And for the first time...
It sounds like me.
