Echoes of You

The night is cold, the lights are fading slow,

Your shadow dances on the floor below.

I reach for you, but there’s only the pain,

Your name’s a whisper in the falling rain.

Every heartbeat, a memory burns,

Every dream is a road that turns—

Back to you, though I know you’re gone,

I’m still singing your ghost’s old song.

She’s gone, but the echoes remain,

In my soul, like a sweet hurricane.

I’m drowning in what we used to be,

You’re the fire that’s still killing me.

The mirror shows a stranger’s face,

A thousand miles from your embrace.

I tried to move, but the chains still hold,

Your love’s the story that won’t grow old.

Every silence cuts deeper than sound,

Every tear’s a memory drowned.

You’re the ghost I can’t let fade,

In my heart your shadow stayed.

She’s gone, but the echoes remain,

In my soul, like a sweet hurricane.

I’m drowning in what we used to be,

You’re the fire that’s still killing me.

[Bridge] (instrumental break / vocal belt section)

And I scream your name into the sky,

No answer—just the reason why.

If love’s a flame that burns too bright,

Then I’ll be ashes before the night.

She’s gone, but I still believe,

Love’s a wound that’ll never leave.

Through the darkness, I call to you—

My forever fades… but my heart stays true.

(ends with sustained high note fading into piano outro)
