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
