Only Echoes Of You
Gui Almeida
The coffee's cold, the sky is grey
Another silent morning without your face
I trace your name in the window steam
Still chasing shadows of a fading dream
The empty room still speaks your name
Our favorite song just doesn't sound the same
I wear your hoodie like a second skin
It's the only place I feel you've ever been
'Cause I still hear echoes of you in the dark
Whispers and laughter that tear me apart
Every I love you still rings in the halls
But they're just memories behind these walls
Tell me how do I let go of a love so true
When all I am now, is echoes of you?
I saw your face in the passing rain
A cruel mirage that brought back all the pain
I smiled, then cried when it wasn't real–
It's funny how the heart forgets to heal
They say time heals, but it's standing still
My hands are empty, yet I feel you still
If love is forever, why'd yours disappear?
I scream your name but you don't hear
'Cause I still hear echoes of you in the night
Dancing like ghosts in the flickering light
You promised forever, and I believed too
Now all I hold are echoes of you
So if you hear my voice on the wind tonight
Know I still love you–it's my only fight
But if you've moved on, I'll fade from view
Still haunted, still broken, still echoes of you
