Not an Echo
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Thank you for listening to this song, but to get the full impact of a THIS song, you would really have to listen to the original song by Amoxy titled “Between the Lines”. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ~• NOT AN ECHO •~ Static… late nights… your voice stayed, Even when I… disappeared. I hear… what you meant now, Every pause… every doubt, And I know, I left doors open… I should’ve closed. Heart closed, I wore silence like armor, Half lost, drifting through noise and people. You reached through… every wall I buried, Saw truths, I never said out loud. You heard weight inside my silence, Read wounds, underneath the smoke. And I hate that I made you question, If your love was just another ghost. I was careless with sacred things, Too blind to see what you carried. Now your fear keeps echoing back, Every second the room gets quiet. I see it now, Why your hands shook in the dark, Why your voice sounded distant, Why your heart stayed halfway guarded. You were asking me, If you were truly the only one. You’re not an echo in a crowded room, Not another voice I let pass through. After all the noise, all the smoke, all the lies, You’re the only one that still feels true. Everybody else became noise after you, Static fading when your voice cuts through. And if love means anything after all this time, Then let me prove, you were never just another line. No copy, no performance, No recycled words for strangers. You saw the man beneath the image, Past the confidence and danger. You read me better than my own thoughts, Pulled truth from places I buried deep. And somewhere between your silence and mine, You became the part of me I couldn’t leave. Across oceans, through haze and distance, You still felt closer than anybody here. And every time you pulled away from me, I finally understood fear. You were never some passing feeling, Never another temporary flame. I know now what my silence did to you, And I’ll never make you carry that again. You’re not an echo in a crowded room, Not another heart I wandered through. After all the noise… all the confusion… You’re the only thing that still feels true. You asked if my love was copied… But nobody else ever sounded like home. And every road that pulled me from your arms, Only showed me where I belong. I never feared losing the world… Until I felt you pulling away. That silence almost killed me. More than distance… more than lonely days… You saw me beneath every layer, Every mask… every shadow… every wall. And if I ever made you feel replaceable, Then I failed to love you fully at all. No echoes… no copies… no one like you, No crowded rooms… no fading truths. Through every doubt… every scar… every mile, I’d still find my way back to you. Because after all the noise… After all the running… After all the fear… You stayed. And now I know, What home feels like. No echoes… No copies… Just you… Always you 🫶🏼 (Piano drops into silence)
