Verse 1
The night is heavy, the room is still,
I chase your shadow against my will.
You said forever, but forever fades,
Like city lights when the morning breaks.
---
Pre-Chorus
I reach for you, but you slip away,
Like smoke in the dawn of another day.
---
Chorus
Echoes in the dark, calling out your name,
I gave you all my love, but you walked away.
I don’t need riches, I don’t need fame,
Just someone real, who feels the same.
(Whispers: “Where are you now…?”)
(Whispers: “Don’t go… don’t go…”)
---
Verse 2
I’ve built my life with these fragile hands,
But love keeps slipping like grains of sand.
Every silence cuts deeper still,
And I wonder if you ever will.
---
Pre-Chorus
I reach for you, but you slip away,
Like smoke in the dawn of another day.
---
Chorus (repeat, bigger)
Echoes in the dark, calling out your name,
I gave you all my love, but you walked away.
I don’t need riches, I don’t need fame,
Just someone real, who feels the same.
(Whispers: “Don’t lie… don’t hide…”)
(Whispers: “Tell me the truth…”)
(Whispers: “I’m still here…”)
---
Bridge (spoken with whispers)
(Spoken: “I can’t do this, I can’t pretend…
I just want love that doesn’t end…”)
(Whispers: “Don’t hurt me…”)
(Whispers: “Please stay…”)
(Whispers: “Don’t go…”)
---
Final Chorus (emotional peak)
Echoes in the dark, calling out your name,
I gave you all my love, but you walked away.
If this is the end, then let it be true,
At least I know I still loved you.
---

(Whispers: “Echoes… echoes…”)
(Whispers: “…still calling your name.”)
