Echoes of Silence

[Intro]
In the silence of the night, shadows twist and bend,
Whispers of regret, echoing around the end.
[Verse 1]
You sat there with your silence, let the darkness win,
Thoughts running wild in my head, who’d have known where to begin?
You played me like a record, spun me ‘round and ‘round,
But the needle’s off the groove, and I’m lost, never found.
[Pre-Chorus]
Would it haunt you like a ghost, my face in every dream?
Or would you shrug it off like dust in the sunbeam?
[Chorus]
Oh, will you miss me when I’m gone, out of sight?
Will your heart ache for the songs we sung that night?
‘Cause I carry all this weight, it’s too much to bear,
Will you cry for the life I lost, if you even care?
[Verse 2]
You could have reached out softly, turned this night to day,
Instead, you chose the silence, let the night decay.
The words you never spoke, they sting like acid rain,
But would you feel the emptiness settled in my pain?
[Pre-Chorus]
Would it haunts your quiet moments, memories, bittersweet?
Or would laughter drown the echoes in someone else’s heartbeat?
[Chorus]
Oh, will you miss me when I’m gone, out of sight?
Will your heart ache for the songs we sung that night?
‘Cause I carry all this weight, it’s too much to bear,
Will you cry for the life I lost, if you even care?
[Bridge]
Before the sun could rise, I’ll fade into the mist,
And like a wistful thought, I’ll slip through your clenched fist.
Check your heart, check your soul, was I ever real to you?
Can you grasp what’s slipping, or is it all too new?
[Chorus]
Oh, will you miss me when I’m gone, out of sight?
Will your heart ache for the songs we sung that night?
‘Cause I carry all this weight, it’s too much to bear,
Will you cry for the life I lost, if you even care?
[Outro]
If I was gone before the morning light,
Would you even dare to regret our fight?
I hope that you’ll remember, even if I’m lost,
The love we had was real, no matter what the cost.
