[Intro] For years I've been trying to fake it So many people told us we could make it But it's not that way, it seems Cold hands and ever dead eyes Trying to hide behind a broken smile I can see the hurt in a heart that's still yearning for this Waking up before sunrise Didn't really get much sleep last night Still haunted by your memory When I was home and at peace But I guess this all was just Catch and Release [Chorus] Echoes of a life that I left behind Tell me, can you hear this is goodbye? Moving forward, make me stronger after all the hurt, and all the pain Guess I should have known it always ends the same Moving onward, making more work for me [Verse 1] Pushing past fading memories Being all wrapped up within The security I felt when you finally let me in And why is everything gotta fall to flames? Shaking with the wind that's blowing 'round me Foundations quaking, crumbling, leaving all to be seen Thought that I found hope, or rather hope found me But there's darkness rolling in And though my sight is growing dim I know the light will rise again [Chorus] Echoes of a life that I left behind Tell me, can you hear this is goodbye? Moving forward, make me stronger after all the hurt and all the pain Guess I should have known it always ends the same Moving onward, making more work for me [Bridge] These words be my eulogy To all that I had used to be I lay this lonely heart to rest A heart that failed but tried its best Im bursting, thirsting For the way I felt with him Needs just sleep, but I think I may never feel that way again Leave the past in a narrow and shallow grave Guess, I should have known that you'd never change Pallbearers lower me beneath your feet As I'm laid to rest for eternity [Chorus] Echoes of a life that I left behind Tell me, can you hear this is goodbye? Moving forward, make me stronger after all the hurt, and all the pain Guess, I should have known it always ends the same Moving onward, making more work for me
