echo of your heart

in the shadows of your light  

i try to find my way, a pale reflection  

of your fire, just to make you stay

i lose myself in echoes  

in the patterns of your soul  

hoping you might see me  

if i play this hollow role

i am the echo of your heart  

a mirror to your dreams  

lost within your world, tearing at the seams  

if i become your shadow, will you finally see  

the one who's lost and broken, longing to be free?

i wear your favorite colors, speak your words, 

listen to your songs, 

in the silence of my doubt  

it feels so right, but so wrong

i bury all my pieces  

in the mold you cast for me  

hoping in your eyes  

a better self i’d see

in the quiet of the night  

i hear a distant cry, a voice  

that's soft and trembling  

reaching for the sky

it's my soul that’s been forgotten  

beneath the weight i bear  

longing to be cherished  

just for being there

but in the mirror’s gaze  

a stranger meets my eyes  

a ghost of who i used to be  

in this perfect disguise

if i let go of this burden  

if i stand in my own light  

will you still love me  

will you hold me tight?

in the echo of your heart  

i fade into the night  

a journey to reclaim my soul  

and find my own light

if you see me in the morning  

a stranger in your eyes  

know i've found my freedom  

beneath the endless skies
