(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.
