“I’m not your echo, not your spare,”

[Pressure]
You only ask, never answer mine,
Circle words, you waste my time.
You say you’re bored, you pull away,
Like my voice is noise you mute mid-day.
You judge my pace, I’m never fast,
Always chasing, always last.

You swear you know just how I feel,
But it’s your rules, your spinning wheel.
I bend my life to when you’re free,
My time dissolves around your needs.

Is this patience or control?
Am I a person or a role?

[Chorus]
I’m not your echo, not your spare,
Not your comfort when you’re there.
You don’t get love without the cost,
You don’t get me half-lost.
I bite my tongue, I break my pride,
But every step you cross a line.
You think I’m tame, you think I cope
But every push collects its toll.

[Neglect]
It’s always you, the room, the light,
Every eye bends to your shine.
You’re the screen they crave to see,
While I’m just background, silently.
You step on me like I won’t feel,
Like softness means I’m made of steel.

I’m good enough when you’re alone,
Good enough to hold you whole.
Good enough when you need care,
But never when I need you there.

Am I shelter or disguise?
Am I truth or just convenient lies?

[Chorus]
I’m not your echo, not your spare,
Not your comfort when you’re there.
You don’t get love without the cost,
You don’t get me half-lost.
You feed on warmth, you starve my fire,
You take devotion, dodge desire.
You think I’ll wait, you think I hope
But every wound remembers both.

[Bass Solo Break]
(Instrumental - virtuosic bass takes the lead,
slides bending like breath held too long,
low notes growl, climb, refuse silence.)

[Rage]
You poke the wound, you test the chain,
You call it teasing, I call it pain.
A wounded animal learns the truth:
It doesn’t vanish - it bares its tooth.
You think I’ll fade, you think I’ll fold,
Disappear quiet, meek, controlled.

But pressure makes a promise snap,
And I’m done living in your gap.

What did you think would happen here?
Did you mistake my love for fear?

[Final Chorus / Breakdown]
I’m not your echo - hear me roar.
Not your mercy, not your floor.
You don’t get touch without respect,
You don’t get hearts you half-neglect.
You had your warnings, you had your signs,
You crossed my edges one too many times.

I’m not good enough just when you cope.
I’m not your pause.
I’m not your hope.

[Outro]
I gave you warmth.
You gave me time limits.
I gave you love.
You gave conditions.

Now hear this clear, burned into stone:
Every choice you made
You made it known.
