[Intro] (Instrumental, sparse, restrained) [Verse 1] The room still breathes the way it did before Dust on the hours we don’t count anymore I move through days like they don’t see me pass Every moment fading much too fast [Pre-Chorus 1] I hear your name in places it won’t stay Like it’s looking for me every day [Chorus] I’m standing in the echo of your voice Watching silence make the loudest noise I keep reaching for what I can’t undo Every road still leads me back to you I try to run, but nothing feels new I’m wide awake, but breaking through [Verse 2] You’re somewhere breathing different air Laughing like I was never there Time keeps moving, I stay behind Tracing footsteps that aren’t mine [Pre-Chorus 2] You let go like it didn’t hurt I held on till it made me worse [Chorus] I’m standing in the echo of your voice Watching silence make the loudest noise I keep reaching for what I can’t undo Every road still leads me back to you I try to run, but nothing feels new I’m wide awake, but breaking through [Guitar Solo] (High, crying lead guitar — expressive, unresolved) [Verse 3] I didn’t fall, I didn’t disappear I just stayed frozen right here While you were learning how to leave I was becoming what you couldn’t see [Pre-Chorus 3] I never moved, I never knew I was lost where you left me [Bridge] If I let go, who will I be When the pain stops remembering me Is this surviving, or just staying still Holding on because I will? [Final Chorus] I’m standing in the echo of your voice Watching silence make the loudest noise I keep reaching for what I can’t undo Every road still leads me back to you I try to run, but nothing feels new I’m wide awake, but breaking through [Outro] I never moved… I never knew…
