[Spoken Intro] They say time heals all wounds... But what they don't tell you is how the scars become a map Of everywhere we've been, and everyone we've lost. [Verse 1] Your coffee mug still in my sink Unwashed because I need to think That maybe you'll come back someday Though both know that's not our way Your playlist still on my phone Makes the car feel less alone That song you loved at ninety three Still breaks something inside of me While memories refuse to fade [Chorus] Echoes of us in empty rooms In your perfume and old costumes Through the places we once knew Now I walk them without you Muscle memory still stays Reaching for you through the haze Of all these ghosts we left behind In corners of my tired mind Where you'll always have a home [Verse 2] Changed the locks but kept your key In a drawer I'll never see Deleted texts but saved that night When everything was pure and right Our favorite restaurant closed down Now it's just another town Where strangers walk our sacred ground Not knowing what was lost and found In these streets we used to own [Interlude musical] [Bridge] Some days I dial your number still Muscle memory's bitter pill Three rings then I hang up fast Pretending it's not in the past But echoes linger, clear and strong In places where we still belong [Chorus] [Verse 3] Your birthday comes, I write no text Though fingers itch with what comes next Five years on, still catch your ghost In places that we loved the most And though new love may come my way Your echo makes it hard to stay Fully present, fully here When your whispers still appear In the corners of my world [Spoken Outro] The hardest part isn't losing someone... It's learning to live in a world where their echo Is louder than their presence ever was.
