In the quiet of my room, I hear you call
Echoes in the silence of my soul
Your voice is gone, but memories stand tall
Leaving me with tears and a hollow hole
I think of our laughs, our secrets shared
Why did you leave? My heart is so bare
Your smile lit up my darkest night
Now echoes whisper, "You'll be alright"
I miss your touch, your warm gentle kiss
Life's not the same, it's just not bliss
In the silence, I search for you
Echoes in the silence, my heart is blue
Time keeps moving, but I'm stuck in pain
Wishing you'd come back, but it's all in vain
I hold on to memories, though they fade
Echoes in the silence, my heart's shade
In dreams I see you, feel you near
Waking up's the hardest part, tears appear
But I'll hold on to the love we had
Echoes in the silence, I'll make it glad
I'll learn to breathe, to face the day
Though you're gone, your love won't fade away
In the echoes, I'll find my way
And maybe someday, I'll learn to stay
Lost in thoughts, I find a piece of me
A fragment left, where you used to be
Echoes in the silence, a bittersweet melody
Reminding me of what we'll never see
Some nights, I talk to the stars above
Hoping they'll carry my heart's endless love
I speak your name, and echoes reply
Whispering secrets, only my soul can see
In this emptiness, I'll find a new path
Learning to walk, though your hand's not in mine
The echoes will fade, but love remains
A scar in my soul, where you once remained
And as I walk this lonely road
I'll find my strength in the love we shared, I know
The echoes will whisper, "You are not alone"
And in the silence, my heart will be home
