Echo In The Silence

I hear the yelling through the paper walls

Every word's a dagger

Every name they call

I press my palms to my ears

But it seeps in

Their love’s a broken record

Spinning thin

I trace the cracks in the ceiling above

Counting the pieces of a shattered love

I’m the echo in the silence

The tear in the seam

I’m the shadow of the girl I was supposed to be

Trying my best

But it’s never enough

Every step feels like climbing through dust

Shattered glass beneath my feet

Trying to stand

But I bleed

The mirror shows a stranger I don’t know

A face that hides

A heart that won’t let go

I’m the weight of their words

A sinking stone

Falling deeper

Yet still alone

The cracks keep spreading

They never fade

I’m caught in a picture that’s always frayed

I’m the echo in the silence

The tear in the seam

I’m the shadow of the girl I was supposed to be

Trying my best

But it’s never enough

Every step feels like climbing through dust

Shattered glass beneath my feet

Trying to stand

But I bleed
