Room Of Echoes

[Intro]
Streetlights through the blinds
Same four walls, same tired mind

[Hook]
I’ve been layin’ in a room full of echoes
Every word you ever said still hittin’ like a fresh blow
If I tell you that I’m straight, that’s a decoy, that’s a decoy
Heart loud in my chest, I can’t enjoy, I can’t enjoy
Got these memories on loop like a track I can’t skip
Every time I try to heal, I just circle where we split
I’ve been layin’ in a room full of echoes
Talkin’ to the past like it’s someone that I still know

[Verse 1]
You keep askin’ why I flinch when you say forever
I’ve been carryin’ all these ghosts that won’t die together
Every promise that I heard turned to silence in the end
Now you ask me for a chance, I just think of what’s been dead
I got habits I’m not proud of, pushin’ good things to the side
Turnin’ love into a puzzle I don’t really wanna try
Trauma in my playlist, I know every single line
So when you say you’ll never leave, I just hit it and rewind
You’ve been tryna hold my hand, I’ve been hidin’ in the rain
Tryna learn a different language than this fluent talk of pain

[Hook]
I’ve been layin’ in a room full of echoes
Every word you ever said still hittin’ like a fresh blow
If I tell you that I’m straight, that’s a decoy, that’s a decoy
Heart loud in my chest, I can’t enjoy, I can’t enjoy
Got these memories on loop like a track I can’t skip
Every time I try to heal, I just circle where we split
I’ve been layin’ in a room full of echoes
Talkin’ to the past like it’s someone that I still know

[Verse 2]
I’ve been pourin’ out my feelings in a cup that got a crack
Every time I try to fill it, it just leak what I don’t have
You be layin’ next to me, but I be stuck inside the past
Where “I love you” turned to distance, turned to nothin’ in a flash
I’m not scared of bein’ lonely, I’m just scared of what I love
’Cause the things I hold the closest be the first to draw blood
So I joke when I’m in pain, say “I’m good,” then look away
You can hear it in my voice I’m one breath from a break

[Bridge]
If I get quiet, I’m just turnin’ down the noise inside
If I seem distant, I’ve been fightin’ off the urge to hide
I’m not perfect, I got issues I ain’t done with yet
But I’m here, and if I choose you, that’s the realest that it gets

[Hook]
I’ve been layin’ in a room full of echoes
Tryna let your voice drown out all the old ghosts
