Echoes in the Rain

[Verse 1]
Walking through the rain, shadows falling down
Echoes of my pain, lost and drowned
Feeling all alone, under cloudy skies
Tried to find my way, but I just cry
[Pre-Chorus]
Every step I take, feels like I'm falling apart
Hearts are breaking, pieces of my broken heart
But I keep on trying, despite all my fears
Hoping someday, I’ll wipe away my tears
[Chorus]
I tried to hold on, but I’m slipping away
Lost in the storm, can't find my way
See the tears in my eyes, hear the pain in my song
I tried so hard, but I’m gone too long
[Bridge]
Rain keeps pouring, washing me clean
Dreams are fading, shadowed and unseen
But I will stand, find my light again
Break the silence, end the pain
[Outro]
Though I’m broken, I will rise
Look to the dawn beyond these skies
I tried, I fought, I will survive
Till the morning, keep hope alive
Male Intro (quiet, grounded)
Yeah…
I heard every word
Just took me longer to understand it

Verse 3 (Male – Reflection)
I wasn’t silent ‘cause I didn’t care
I just didn’t know how to be there
I grew up thinkin’ love meant survive
Not always showin’ what’s inside
I saw you givin’ more than me
I felt it but I let it be
I thought time would fix the cracks
Didn’t know I was losin’ you gradually
I didn’t mean to make you feel alone
I just didn’t know how to love out loud
You were fightin’ for us every day
I was scared, so I shut down
⸻
Pre-Chorus (Male – Accountability)
I won’t pretend I was enough
I won’t rewrite it, won’t play tough
If lovin’ me cost you yourself
Then leavin’ was an act of love
⸻
Hook (Male – Answer to Her Pain)
You tried…
I see it now
You carried us when I shut down
You stayed through pain I couldn’t feel
And loved me honest, loved me real
You tried…
That’s the truth
I didn’t know what it took from you
If I’m the reason you let go
Then I’ll live with that too
⸻
Verse 4 (Male – Growth & Acceptance)
I don’t blame you for walkin’ away
Some doors close so we both can change
I had to lose you to learn myself
Had to feel quiet to hear my name
You taught me love ain’t control
And it ain’t pride, and it ain’t cold
It’s showin’ up when it’s uncomfortable
And sayin’ what you’re scared to say out loud
I hope you found peace where I couldn’t give it
Hope your heart feels light again
I don’t ask for another chance
I just hope you know… I get it
⸻
Extended Bridge (Male – Closure)
If you ever wonder if I cared
I just didn’t know how to prove it
Some people love with open hands
Some love afraid to lose it
I won’t chase you, I won’t pretend
This pain didn’t change the man I am
You didn’t leave ‘cause you were weak
You left ‘cause you finally understood yourself
⸻
Final Hook (Male – Soft, Resolute)
You tried…
And I see why
You gave real love, I survived
If losin’ you was the lesson
Then I won’t let it be denied
You tried…
And I’m still here
Learnin’ from what disappeared
Some love doesn’t get a second verse
But it still matters, it’s still sincere
⸻
Outro (Male – Spoken, final line)
Some people don’t fail at love…
They just meet it
Before they’re ready to deserve it
