Without Your Echo

[Verse 1]
I was twenty-one when your shadow did fade
Left me standing where the memories stayed
Your laugh's now an echo I can't ever find
A ghost in the corners of my restless mind
[Chorus]
Oh father oh father why leave me alone
The weight of your absence has carved into bone
I scream to the heavens but the sky stays still
This ache in my chest no time could ever fill
[Verse 2]
You carried your battle in silence and haze
Behind tired eyes through the darkest of days
The sun kept on shining I didn't know why
Until you chose whispers instead of goodbye
[Bridge]
Your picture on the mantel it burns like a flame
A piece of my soul shattered into your name
They say time heals but the clocks all lie
Each tick and tock’s just a tear I can't dry
[Chorus]
Oh father oh father why leave me alone
The weight of your absence has carved into bone
I scream to the heavens but the sky stays still
This ache in my chest no time could ever fill
[Verse 3]
Now I stand in the storm where your love once flew
Your voice gets softer but I hold on to you
Though gone you still guide me in my heart’s dim light
A beacon of strength through my endless night
