Echoes and Emptiness

And you won’t even glance, I swear, I’m lost within my plea 'Cause how’d I fall so hard for someone fading like the breeze You don’t hear my call, I speak, I speak so desperately All your walls so high, your heart's in chains, I thought that love could set us free But you’re drifting like a shadow, in the silence of your keep Is that heart of steel too heavy, did it sink too deep in the sea And all that's left’s a whisper where your laughter used to be Memories fading like footprints on a rain-swept beach I reach, I reach through the storm but can't clutch reality Now all our memories waltz alone, where our future couldn't be I’m haunted by the echo, the ghosts of your retreat Eclipsed by the shadow, where your warmth once held the key Each lyric's like a sigh, unheard beneath the roar Of life that keeps on moving, don't stop to keep the score I miss the way you’d smile, that lightness in your eyes Now in the crowded spaces, your absence is my disguise [Chorus] Under city lights, where you once stood by me Now I dance alone, with our disjointed melody In silent rooms where our whispers used to ring I chase the echoes, feel the hurt they bring You slipped right through, like moonlight through the trees A phantom love, lost in the midnight breeze [Verse 2] No more footsteps that sync with my own pace Just an empty space, a vanished warm embrace
