Echo of You

Verse One:

You were my melody

You were a part of me

The part my music comes from

A part of my very soul

Verse Two:

But now the music’s faded

The world is in black and white

The lyrics fly away from me

It’s hard to live my life

Chorus:

I wish you could have stayed

I wish we could have lived together

I wish you could have stayed

But it’s time to face the truth:

That it’s not your voice I’m hearing,

It’s just an echo;

The echo of you

Verse Three:

I needed you like the air I breathe

You filled my lungs and revived me

All the air was sucked from the room

When I found out I had lost you

Chorus:

I wish you could have stayed

I wish we could have lived together

I wish you could have stayed

But now it’s time to face the truth:

That it’s not your voice I’m hearing

It’s just an echo;

The echo of you

Bridge:

For the longest time

I saw you in every shadow

Heard your voice in every crowded room

My mind consumed with thoughts of you

But now the world is brightening

Lyrics are beginning to fill my head

I think I’m beginning to realize

That I’m not also dead

Chorus:

I still wish you could have stayed

I still wish we could have lived together

I still wish you could have stayed

But now I’ve faced the truth:

That it wasn’t your voice I was hearing

It was just an echo;

The echo of you
