Strings of Silent Echo

Lyrics

Verse 1 You say my name like it still means something But your eyes are somewhere I can’t reach I trace the cracks in every promise While you fade just out of me You pull me close when you feel empty Like I’m something you can use I give you all the love I carry You give me something I can’t choose Pre-Chorus I keep hoping you’ll change your mind But I’m always second in your life Chorus I love you, but you only need me When you’re breaking, when you can’t breathe You hold me like I’m something real Then disappear before I heal And I hate that I still stay While you throw yourself away Choosing numbness over us Every time, it’s never enough Verse 2 I hear your voice inside my head Saying things you never meant Every “sorry” feels so hollow Like a debt you never spent You reach for me when you’re falling But you won’t stand when I’m there I’m just a place you go for comfort Not a love you want to care Pre-Chorus I keep trying to pull you through But you always choose what ruins you Chorus I love you, but you only need me When you’re breaking, when you can’t breathe You hold me like I’m something real Then disappear before I heal And I hate that I still stay While you throw yourself away Choosing numbness over us Every time, it’s never enough Bridge If I was enough, you’d fight for me But I’m just where you go to bleed I’m tired of being your in-between And losing myself to your disease Final Chorus I love you—but it’s killing me Watching what you’ll never be You choose the high, you choose the pain You choose to lose me every day And I’m breaking, letting go Even if I love you so ‘Cause I can’t keep losing me To someone who won’t ever see Outro I loved you more than you could feel But you never chose something real
