Echo In My Chest

[Verse 1]
I see you laughing, but your eyes look torn,
Like a rose that’s beautiful, but full of thorns.
He’s got your hand, but it don’t feel right,
’Cause I still taste your lips from that night.

[Pre-Chorus]
You try to hide, but I know the signs,
Every truth is written between your lines.
I can read the storm behind your smile,
Even if you push me out a mile.

[Chorus]
You’re the echo in my chest,
The ache I can’t put to rest.
Even as you walk away,
You’re the words I can’t unsay.
I’d hold you through the fire,
Through every wreck, every wire.
But I’m the ghost you won’t confess,
Still you’re the echo in my chest.

[Verse 2]
I write the letters, but they don’t get through,
Like the world’s been built to keep me from you.
I hear you laugh, but it cuts me deep,
’Cause I know it’s a lie you’re trying to keep.

[Pre-Chorus]
He’ll never see what I can see,
The way you break silently.
You can lock it up, you can hide the key,
But your heart still beats in time with me.

[Chorus]
You’re the echo in my chest,
The ache I can’t put to rest.
Even as you walk away,
You’re the words I can’t unsay.
I’d hold you through the fire,
Through every wreck, every wire.
But I’m the ghost you won’t confess,
Still you’re the echo in my chest.

[Bridge]
I said goodbye when I thought it was best,
But now I’m haunted, can’t find any rest.
I built the distance, I drew the line,
But losing you was never mine.

[Final Chorus / Outro]
You’re the echo in my chest,
The ache I can’t put to rest.
Even as you fade from view,
Every heartbeat still calls for you.
I’d hold you through the fire,
Through every wreck, every wire.
Even if you love him next—
You’ll be the echo in my chest.
