(Intro – clean, reverb-heavy guitar, slow drums) The rain falls hard on empty streets, Footsteps echo where we used to meet. Shadows stretch across my mind, I keep chasing what I’ll never find. (Verse 1 – raspy, emotive vocals) I see your face in every shattered glass, Every memory drags me to the past. Words we said are lost in smoke, Promises fade like a dying hope. I scream your name into the night, But it’s swallowed up by fading light. (Pre-Chorus – melodic, subtle build) And I can’t hold on, I can’t let go, These empty streets are all I know. (Chorus – soaring, grunge intensity) Fading echoes of what we were, Broken hearts and quiet hurt. I reach for you, but you’re not there, I’m falling through this thin, cold air. Every tear, every scream, every broken dream, Pulse of my heart tearing at the seam. (Verse 2 – quieter, introspective) The walls remember the sound of our laughs, But they mock me now with empty halfs. I wander lost, a ghost of me, Trapped in the ruins of what used to be. The nights are long, the days are grey, And I can’t find a reason to stay. (Pre-Chorus – melodic) And I can’t hold on, I can’t let go, These empty streets are all I know. (Chorus – full band, heavier, emotional) Fading echoes of what we were, Broken hearts and quiet hurt. I reach for you, but you’re not there, I’m falling through this thin, cold air. Every tear, every scream, every broken dream, Pulse of my heart tearing at the seam. (Bridge – distorted, emotional outburst) I’m lost inside the shadow of your name, Drowning slowly in this endless pain. If I could turn back, I’d change it all, But the echoes haunt me as I fall. (Final Chorus – quiet, haunting, fading out) Fading echoes of what we were, Broken hearts and quiet hurt. I reach for you, but you’re not there, I’m falling through this thin, cold air. Every tear, every scream, every broken dream, Pulse of my heart tearing at the seam. (Outro – soft guitar, echoing vocals) Fading… fading… echoes… I’m still here… but you’re gone…
