Empty echo

Lyrics

Verse 1] We used to sit in silence like it meant something Now every word just cuts like a blade I can’t outrun You said “I love you” like it was a habit Not something real—just something automatic Your voice would shake but not from feeling Just another fight, another ceiling We kept breaking what we tried to save Digging deeper into the same damn grave [Pre-Chorus – building] I tried to be enough for both of us But love shouldn’t feel like this much rust [Chorus] So I let you go, even though it killed me Even though your shadow’s still with me Your “I love you” never meant a thing Just empty words with a hollow ring I stayed too long in a losing fight Trying to turn wrong into right But love ain’t love when it feels this cold So I let you go… before it broke my soul ⸻ [Verse 2] Every night was just another war zone No white flags, just broken tones You’d say forever, then slam the door I stopped believing in it anymore I memorized the way you’d lie Look me dead in the eyes every time Like I was crazy for feeling pain Like I was the one you had to blame [Pre-Chorus – strained] I gave you everything I had to give BUT THAT’S NO WAY—NO WAY TO LIVE ⸻ [Chorus – louder] So I let you go, even though it killed me Even though your ghost still haunts me Your “I love you” never meant a thing Just empty words with a hollow ring I stayed too long in a burning house Trying to figure us out But love ain’t love when it leaves you cold So I let you go… before I lost control ⸻ [Bridge – quiet → explosion] Maybe we were never meant to last… Just a future choking on the past… I kept holding on to what we were— [SCREAM] WHILE YOU KEPT TEARING ME APART ⸻ [Breakdown – SCREAMO] I’M DONE BLEEDING FOR YOUR EMPTY WORDS DONE BELIEVING WHAT I NEVER HEARD YOU SAID “LOVE” BUT IT FELT LIKE WAR I WON’T BE YOURS—NOT ANYMORE YOU TURNED “FOREVER” INTO SOMETHING FAKE EVERY PROMISE JUST ANOTHER BREAK I GAVE YOU ALL THAT I COULD GIVE [SCREAM] AND YOU STILL LEFT ME WITH NOTHING TO LIVE FOR ⸻ [Final Chorus – emotional + grit] So I let you go… yeah I had to choose Between loving you and being used Your “I love you” still echoes loud But it never made me proud I gave you everything I could hold But it just left me feeling alone Love shouldn’t feel like losing your soul… [Final SCREAM] SO I LET YOU GO!!!
