Empty Echo

Verse 1

It’s so quiet, so damn quiet

Like the world just disappeared

All the noise that filled my head

Left a different kind of fear

I can hear my own breathing

But it doesn’t feel like mine

And I’m sitting in the aftermath

Of something that can’t be undone

Hearing every word repeated

Everything echoes in my mind

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I trace back every moment

Every word I let slip through

Trying to find the version of me

That didn’t hurt you

⸻

Chorus

And now it’s just silence

Where the chaos used to be

I thought I’d feel relief

But it’s heavier than ever on me

Every echo’s a reminder

Of the things I can’t erase

I’m alone with what I said

In the quiet that it made

⸻

Verse 2

I replay it in slow motion

Every look, every tone

Convince myself you see me differently

Now that everything’s exposed

I wish I could take it back

Or at least explain it right

But the words don’t sound the same

When I’m alone at night

⸻

Pre-Chorus 2

If I could undo the damage

Would it even be enough?

Or does every time I break like this

Just slowly add up?

⸻

Chorus

And now it’s just silence

Where the chaos used to be

I thought I’d feel relief

But it’s heavier than ever on me

Every echo’s a reminder

Of the things I can’t erase

I’m alone with what I said

In the quiet that it made

⸻

Bridge

I’m not proud of who I was

In the middle of it all

I don’t know how to hold on

Without risking the fall

I don’t know how you stay

When I push you to the edge

But I’m terrified one day

You won’t come back again

⸻

Final Chorus

Now it’s just silence

And I don’t know what to do

I’d give anything to fix it

If only I knew how to

Every echo’s a reminder

Still repeating back to me

I’m alone with all the damage

That comes with being me
