The War Between Silence and Echo

(Intro)

I still hear you in the quiet,

where my peace is supposed to live.

Every thought becomes a shadow,

and every memory burns to give.

(Verse 1)

You were the calm that I mistook for home,

a mirror dressed in light.

I touched your fire, thought I could hold it —

but love was never mine to fight.

You speak in distance, I answer with pain,

and we both call it protection.

You hide behind your freedom,

I hide behind reflection.

(Pre-Chorus)

You said love should feel like breathing —

but I’m drowning slow and still.

You said hearts are meant for healing,

but mine forgot how to feel.

(Chorus)

There’s a war between silence and echo,

and I’m bleeding in between.

You’re the dream I can’t let go,

even when it’s killing me.

I keep trying to rewrite fate,

but the ink just turns to rain.

There’s a war between silence and echo,

and both sides wear your name.

(Verse 2)

You wanted space, I gave you stars,

but lost myself in orbit.

I called your chaos holy art,

and built my peace to worship it.

Now I’m chasing ghosts in places

where your laughter used to stay.

And every time I try to leave,

your absence pulls me back that way.

(Pre-Chorus)

I know I should let you go —

but love’s a language I misread.

You’re my favorite kind of ache,

a song that never ends.

(Chorus)

There’s a war between silence and echo,

and I’m bleeding in between.

You’re the dream I can’t let go,

even when it’s killing me.

I keep trying to rewrite fate,

but the ink just turns to rain.

There’s a war between silence and echo,

and both sides wear your name.

(Bridge)

Maybe I’m the fire,

and you were just the flame.

Maybe I was never meant

to heal the same.

Maybe love’s a form of dying,

but I’d die that way again.

(Outro)

Now the silence sounds like thunder,

and your echo fades in vain.

I still whisper into nothing —

but nothing knows your name.
