The Echo That Remains (After Goodbye Remake)

Intro

Verse 1

The window pane, a sheet of ice, it grabs my vacant stare

Outside, the world's a watercolor, wind just rips the air

Your last few words, a faded script, they fog the frosted glass

A fragile promise, whispered once, it couldn't ever last

This hollow house, a mausoleum, built on what we lost

Each ticking second, heavy stone, a soul-crushing cost

Your absence is a concrete slab, it crushes down my chest

And every shadow here just screams, I can never rest

Pre-Chorus

And I can feel it coming up the hall

That slow crack in the wall

One more second and I fall

Right into the sound of it all

Chorus

And I would burn the skies to ash, to see your face again!

I would drown the sun in sorrow, just to feel you in the rain!

But the silence is a verdict, and the darkness is my grave...

There is nothing left to salvage, nothing left to save...

So I beg you, in the ruins, in the wreckage of the day...

Oh, I am begging you... to stay.

Verse 2

I wander through the rooms we built, a stranger in my home

The scent of you still lingers here, but I am still alone

I hear your laughter in the static of the pouring rain

A phantom in the periphery, a whisper of my pain

The promises we swore to keep are ashes on the floor

And every step I take just leads me back to your closed door

I've tried to pray to gods I've never believed in before

But heaven's just an empty room, and you're not here anymore

And now I'm staring at the edge, wondering how far I'll fall

Pre-Chorus

And I can feel it coming up the hall

That slow crack in the wall

One more second and I fall

Right into the sound of it all

Chorus

And I would burn the skies to ash, to see your face again!

I would drown the sun in sorrow, just to feel you in the rain!

But the silence is a verdict, and the darkness is my grave...

There is nothing left to salvage, nothing left to save...

So I beg you, in the ruins, in the wreckage of the day...

Oh, I am begging you... to stay.

Bridge

It's not the goodbye that kills you.

It's the echo that remains.

It's the ghost of a touch.

It's the memory of the pain.

It's the space beside you in the bed.

It's the silence in your head.

It's the one thing you can't do...

When all you can do... is beg.

Pre-Chorus

And I can feel it coming up the hall

That slow crack in the wall

One more second and I fall

Right into the sound of it all

Chorus

And I would burn the skies to ash, to see your face again...

I would drown the sun in sorrow, just to feel you in the rain...

But the silence is a verdict... and the darkness is my grave...

There is nothing left to salvage... nothing left to save...

So I beg you... in the ruins... in the wreckage of the day...

Oh, I am begging you...

(Begging you...)

Oh, I am BEGGING you...

(Screamed, then a sudden, absolute silence)
