Echoes of Us

[Intro] [Verse 1] The photographs are fading now, tucked beneath the bed, Whispers of a younger us, and every word we said. I trace the cracks in porcelain, the cups we never broke, A ghost of who I was back then still wears your faded coat. [Verse 2] We danced in autumn’s amber light, but winter stripped the trees, And time rewrote our promises like ships on restless seas. I kept the letters, not the pain—the ink’s too blurred to read, Now every scar’s a compass pointing where I’ve learned to bleed. [Chorus] Oh, the echoes of us hum in silent keys, A melody of what’s been lost and what I’ve come to see. The fire we burned now lights the way through shadows I outran, And every tear I didn’t cry became the strength I am. [Bridge] I planted seeds where we once fell, let roots replace the ache, The storms I feared would d***n my heart taught me how to break. Not every love is meant to stay; some wings are born to roam, The hollows where you lingered now feel a little more like home. [Chorus] Oh, the echoes of us hum in silent keys, A melody of what’s been lost and what I’ve come to see. The fire we burned now lights the way through shadows I outran, And every tear I didn’t cry became the strength I am. [Outro] [Verse 3] I met the dawn with clearer eyes, no chains to hold me there, The chapters closed in softer sighs, the weight became a prayer. Your name’s a leaf I let descend to rivers far and wide, And in the quiet, I finally hear my own voice, undenied. [Chorus] Oh, the echoes of us fade to gentle dust, A testament to growing up and learning how to trust. The roads we walked now branch apart, but both still lead to light, And I’ll carry all the love we had into tomorrow’s sky. [Outro]
