Lyric

Coffee cup on the counter

Lip print fading on the rim

Every joke you left hanging

Still laughs in the kitchen

Your sweater on my chair

Sleeves reaching out for my hands

I talk into the quiet

Like you might answer back

I’m left with the echo

Of every word

Every touch

Every night

Heart pulling forward

Eyes looking back

Smiling while it stings deep inside

You were my almost

My too much to hold

Burned into the corners of my mind

I’m left with the echo

Of us that I can’t leave behind

We danced in the hallway

Bare feet

Overdue bills on the floor

You said we’d figure it later

But later walked out the door

Friends ask how I’m doing

I shrug

Say I’m fine

Then I lie

’Cause your name’s on my tongue

Every time I say goodbye

I'm left with the silence

Where your laughter rang

Every whisper

Every fight

Heartbeats that chase time

With eyes in the past

Happiness tinted with the pain

You were my almost

My impossible dream

Etched in the pages of my soul

I'm left with the silence

Of us in a time that changed

Memories in the mirror

Reflection of the days gone by

Our dreams painted in shadows

Under the evening sky

Your echo in my heartbeat

Rhythms that never fade away

I walk through the shadows

Hoping to hear you say

Songs in the old records

Scratches whisper our refrain

The world spins around me

But nothing feels the same

I still see your smile

In the sunset's glow

Every day a reminder

Of a love I'll never know

Winds carry your laughter

Through the open door

I turn around expecting you

But you're not here anymore

Time steals our moments

Yet leaves traces behind

In every breath, every sigh

You're always on my mind

So I'll dance with the memory

In the silence of night

Hold onto the echoes

Till morning takes the light

With every dawn, I find

You've never really left

You're the echo, forever mine

In the space you’ve left bereft
