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
