[Verse 1 – Piano-led]
Looking out the window, I see the storm,
Falling on faces, worn and torn.
Marching through memories of love and pain,
As puddles rise along the lane.
As puddles rise along the laaane.
Maybe I was too young,
To know how love can slip and run.
But tonight you’re in my mind,
And you’ll never know.
you’ll never know.
[Chorus ]
It’s never fading,
You’re the echo that stays inside me forever.
It’s never fading,
You’re the echo that stays inside me foreveeer.
[Verse 2 ]
Empty and longing for
your touch,
No way to satisfy it, missing you so much.
Where are you tonight?
You don’t know how I need it.
Too young to hold tight,
Too young
Too old to just walk away tonight.
just walk away tonight.
[Bridge]
Sometimes a heart gets lost in the thrill,
Chasing moments without knowing the cost.
Blinded by laughter, missing what’s real,
Waking alone to find there’s no one to hold.
no one to hold.
no one to hold .
[Chorus]
It’s never fading,
You’re the echo that stays inside me forever.
It’s never fading,
You’re the echo that stays inside me forever.
stays inside me forever.
[Verse 3 ]
Quiet is the room, the bed stays inside me forever
stays inside me forever.
The window lets the rain in.
A lonely shadow dreams tonight,
Of having you close again.
My heart turns,
Yearning for rest it cannot find.
cannot find.
It’s never fading,
I’d give it all for one embrace.
[Chorus / Outro]
It’s never fading,
You’re the echo that stays inside me forever.
You’re the echo that stays inside me forever.
Too young to hold on,
Too old to just run free.
Blind to the marks I left behind.
marks I left behind.
Sweet love, you should’ve come closer,
I’ve waited for you, oh, love, love, love.
love, love, love.
love, love.
Looove
