Echoes of Your Heartbeat

Songtekst

[HOOK] I’m not scared of empty rooms, I’m scared of losing you, Don’t mix the two like they the same when they ain’t the truth. Being alone just means silence in the air, Losing you means breathing, but still feeling like you’re not there. You’re the ache inside the wound that never fully heals, The only thing I ever had that ever felt this real. So if I fight, it’s only ‘cause I still believe we can— I’m not holding onto memories, I’m holding onto plans. [VERSE 1] I miss the nights we used to talk until the sunrise bled, Back when your voice could calm the wars inside my head. Now every sentence feel like walking barefoot on broken glass, Tiptoeing through tension, praying old pain finally pass. We used to be a house with windows open to the breeze, Now it feel boarded up, and I’m still searching for the keys. You hear my words but not the weight behind the sound, Like I’m screaming underwater while you standing on the ground. I know lately I’ve been heavy, like a storm you can’t outrun, Like clouds rolling in and blocking out what we’ve become. And I hate that when I hurt, somehow you carry that too, Like my shadows found your shoulders and made a home in you. But baby, you should know that when I say I’m trying, I mean it, Every flaw I ever had, I’m facing, I’m defeating. I’m not perfect, I’m just human learning how to bend, Trying to rebuild the bridge before we hit the end. [HOOK] I’m not scared of empty rooms, I’m scared of losing you, Don’t mix the two like they the same when they ain’t the truth. Being alone just means silence in the air, Losing you means breathing, but still feeling like you’re not there. You’re the ache inside the wound that never fully heals, The only thing I ever had that ever felt this real. So if I fight, it’s only ‘cause I still believe we can— I’m not holding onto memories, I’m holding onto plans. [VERSE 2] This love been like an ocean in a thunderstorm at sea, Some nights we capsize, but I still swear you’re home to me. People on the shoreline only see the waves that crash, They don’t see two people drowning, still trying to make it back. They judge the fire from afar, call it chaos, call it smoke, But never saw the winters where your love kept me afloat. This family gave me roots when I was drifting with no ground, Like a man lost in the dark finally hearing sacred sound. Yeah, the kids get loud, and life gets hard, and bills stack high, But even in the madness, you’re still the peace inside. You saved me in ways you probably never knew, Like sunlight through cracked blinds in a cold and empty room. So when I raise my voice, it ain’t control, it’s fear— Fear of losing something I spent years building here. [VERSE 3] I know the past still lingers like smoke inside the walls, Even when the fire’s dead, the scent still haunts it all. And I can’t erase the damage, can’t pretend it didn’t break, Can’t ask your heart to heal overnight from old mistakes. But I’m not who I was when all that pain was fresh, That version of me died every time I faced regret. I wish I had a time machine tucked under my skin, A way to stitch the torn-up parts and start us back again. But love ain’t rewinding scenes or editing what’s done, It’s staying when it’s ugly, choosing each other when it’s rough. So baby, put your burdens down, let me carry some this time, You don’t always gotta be the strong one just to survive. I got a shoulder built from lessons, scars, and truth— And if forever got a face, to me it still looks like you. [HOOK / OUTRO] I’m not scared of empty rooms, I’m scared of losing you, Don’t mix the two like they the same when they ain’t the truth. Being alone just means silence in the air, Losing you means living like half of me disappeared. You’re the prayer inside my lungs, the reason that I stand, The home I’d keep rebuilding with these bruised-up hands. So if I fight, it’s only ‘cause I still believe we can— I’m not holding onto memories, I’m holding onto plans. Till my last breath, girl, that’s still where I stand.
