Echo in My Chest

歌詞

I learned new days, new ways to breathe Said your name was leaving me But every step I take too fast Brings your rhythm from the past I cleared my mind, I closed the door Still feel you knocking in my core Echo in my chest Won’t rest Echo in my chest tonight Your name mixed in my heartbeat’s light I don’t call you, don’t confess Still you answer in my chest I forget you with my head But my pulse knows what we said Echo in my chest, so true Still moving me like you used to I laugh out loud, I look okay I make it through another day But every silence in between Plays you soft, like background strings I try to mute what I can’t see But memory lives in frequency Echo in my chest Under every breath Echo in my chest, it stays Long after thought has moved away You’re not here, you’re not mine But my body’s still on your time I don’t ache the way I did Still I feel you when I live Echo in my chest, so small But it outlasts it all The night comes down, the room is still My heart keeps time against my will I count the beats, I almost hear The way you used to sound so near I don’t invite, I don’t intend But every beat remembers then Echo in my chest Calling when I rest Echo in my chest, your name Wired into flesh and frame You don’t haunt my thoughts anymore You just live behind the door If love fades in the mind first Why does the body hurt the worst Echo in my chest, I guess This is how forgetting feels One day the rhythm might align With who I am, not who I find Until that day I let it be A quiet truth inside of me I won’t deny, I won’t suppress What time engraved in tenderness Echo in my chest Fading, not yet left Echo in my chest, grow light Lose your shape with every night I won’t chase you, won’t pretend But I won’t force you to an end If this is all that still remains A name inside my veins Echo in my chest… Then fade when you’re ready
