Fading Echoes

Verse 1 The room feels colder now that you're not here Shadows on the wall whisper what we lost last year I trace the lines where your hands used to rest Empty spaces echo the silence in my chest Pre-Chorus Every breath still carries fragments of your name But the weight is shifting, though the hurt remains Chorus I let you go, though it tears me apart Piece by piece, I'm learning to restart The love we built became a fragile art Now I'm finding strength inside this broken heart Oh, I'm finding light where the darkness used to start Verse 2 Nights stretch longer in the quiet aftermath Memories linger like a photograph I replay the moments, both the joy and the pain Knowing healing comes from standing in the rain Pre-Chorus Tears may fall, but they won't define my days Slowly, the colors return in softer grays Chorus I let you go, though it tears me apart Piece by piece, I'm learning to restart The love we built became a fragile art Now I'm finding strength inside this broken heart Oh, I'm finding light where the darkness used to start Bridge No more holding on to what we can't repair The ending taught me how to breathe the air I was drowning, now I'm rising slow From the ashes of us, a quieter strength grows Final Chorus (softer, then building gently) I let you go... and the pain begins to part Piece by piece, the healing finds its start What we lost became the map to who I am In this fragile soul, I finally understand I'm rising now, with an open heart Outro Fading echoes... but I'm still here Piano fades into a single sustained note, allowing the voice to linger vulnerably on the final line.
