Lyric

I learned new days, new ways to breathe

Said your name was leaving me

But every step I take too fast

Brings your rhythm from the past

I cleared my mind, I closed the door

Still feel you knocking in my core

Echo in my chest

Won’t rest

Echo in my chest tonight

Your name mixed in my heartbeat’s light

I don’t call you, don’t confess

Still you answer in my chest

I forget you with my head

But my pulse knows what we said

Echo in my chest, so true

Still moving me like you used to

I laugh out loud, I look okay

I make it through another day

But every silence in between

Plays you soft, like background strings

I try to mute what I can’t see

But memory lives in frequency

Echo in my chest

Under every breath

Echo in my chest, it stays

Long after thought has moved away

You’re not here, you’re not mine

But my body’s still on your time

I don’t ache the way I did

Still I feel you when I live

Echo in my chest, so small

But it outlasts it all

The night comes down, the room is still

My heart keeps time against my will

I count the beats, I almost hear

The way you used to sound so near

I don’t invite, I don’t intend

But every beat remembers then

Echo in my chest

Calling when I rest

Echo in my chest, your name

Wired into flesh and frame

You don’t haunt my thoughts anymore

You just live behind the door

If love fades in the mind first

Why does the body hurt the worst

Echo in my chest, I guess

This is how forgetting feels

One day the rhythm might align

With who I am, not who I find

Until that day I let it be

A quiet truth inside of me

I won’t deny, I won’t suppress

What time engraved in tenderness

Echo in my chest

Fading, not yet left

Echo in my chest, grow light

Lose your shape with every night

I won’t chase you, won’t pretend

But I won’t force you to an end

If this is all that still remains

A name inside my veins

Echo in my chest…

Then fade when you’re ready
