[Verse 1]
I poured my heart
into your hollow hands
you watched it spill
like water in the sand
I begged for crumbs
you called it love and laughed
you turned away
I turned and found my path
[Pre-Chorus]
I was on my knees
learning how to breathe
calling out your name
till I heard my own
[Chorus]
I heard my echo in the dark
calling me home from where you left me
I held the pieces of my heart
stitched them in gold so you can’t wreck me
I gave you everything I had
you gave me nothing, so I gave me back
I heard my echo in the dark
now I’m the light along the path
[Verse 2]
You feel the chill
each time my name is said
I feel the fire
rising in my chest
You never saw
the storm behind my eyes
now every scar
is shining like a guide
[Pre-Chorus]
I was made to break
so others see they’re brave
every tear I cried
turns into a flame
[Chorus]
I heard my echo in the dark
calling me home from where you left me
I held the pieces of my heart
stitched them in gold so you can’t wreck me
I gave you everything I had
you gave me nothing, so I gave me back
I heard my echo in the dark
now I’m the light along the path
[Bridge]
For every girl
who thinks hurt is her worth (hey)
for every soul
who’s drowning in his words
Take my story
like a torch in your hands
You are not broken
you’re just getting ready to stand
[Chorus]
I heard my echo in the dark
calling me home from where you left me
I held the pieces of my heart
stitched them in gold so you can’t wreck me
I gave you everything I had
you gave me nothing, so I gave me back
I heard my echo in the dark
now I’m the light along the path
(now I’m the light along the path)
