Echos don’t own me

Verse 1

You spoke in riddles, dressed like truth

Turned my doubts into your proof

Bent every mirror in the room

Till I forgot what I looked like too

You kept score I couldn’t see

Changed the rules to punish me

Every “sorry” came with blame

Every fire had my name

Pre-Chorus

I kept shrinking to survive

Called it love to stay alive

Chorus

Your echoes lived inside my head

Told me I was better off misled

But silence finally set me free

Your echoes don’t own me

You built your throne from shattered trust

Turned my heart to borrowed dust

Now I’m breathing honestly

Your echoes don’t own me

Verse 2

You wore kindness like a mask

Only slipped when I would ask

Why the sky was always red

Every time you raised your voice instead

I memorized your shifting moods

Tiptoed through your attitudes

Lost my sleep and lost my spark

Trying to outrun the dark

Pre-Chorus

I was drowning in your sea

Now I know you weren’t saving me

Chorus

Your echoes lived inside my head

Told me I was better off misled

But silence finally set me free

Your echoes don’t own me

You built your throne from shattered trust

Turned my heart to borrowed dust

Now I’m breathing honestly

Your echoes don’t own me

Bridge

I’m learning how my name should sound

Without your weight to drag it down

The guilt you gave was never mine

I’m taking back what you resigned

You don’t get to rewrite scars

Or dim the truth of who we are

Final Chorus

Your echoes fade outside my door

They don’t shake these walls no more

I found strength you couldn’t see

Your echoes don’t own me

You tried to script my destiny

But I erased your legacy

Now I’m standing finally

Your echoes don’t own me

Outro

Your voice is just a memory

And it has no hold on me
