Echoes in the Window

[Intro] Soft rain tapping on the window pane I’m counting echoes of my own name [Verse 1] I walk the street where the city forgets my face Searching for a door that opens to your grace But every hello fades into a quiet doubt I’m learning how to breathe when you’re not around [Pre-Chorus] If I’m worth the breath I’m taking here tonight Tell me I’m enough when I’m out of light [Chorus] Hold me in a memory that doesn’t fade Whisper that I matter, don’t let me berate The truth I’m afraid to say out loud I’m longing for a place in your faint crowd [Verse 2] I’ve built these walls with good intentions kept inside Hiding the ache I wear like a badge I won’t let slide Maybe love is mercy I haven’t learned to show Maybe I’m worth the risk of letting go [Pre-Chorus] If I’m worth the breath I’m taking here tonight Tell me I’m enough when I’m out of light [Chorus] Hold me in a memory that doesn’t fade Whisper that I matter, don’t let me berate The truth I’m afraid to say out loud I’m longing for a place in your faint crowd [Bridge] I’m not flawless, I’m hoping you’ll see The vulnerable map of who I’m trying to be If you stay a while, I’ll learn to believe That love can find me, even when I grieve [Chorus] Hold me in a memory that doesn’t fade Whisper that I matter, don’t let me berate The truth I’m afraid to say out loud I’m longing for a place in your faint crowd [Outro] If dawn finds me still here, I won’t run away I’ll keep knocking, till your heart finds the way
