Silent Echoes by Melodie Yvonne

All those words come back on me but I still gotta set them free
Or else they bounce ‘round in my head and echo all the things you said

An echo of how our life was tough and how I didn’t do enough
An echo of how I’ll never be all the things you want of me

Those silent echoes lose control and break up everything we know
Those silent echoes break our hearts and silently tear us apart

Those echoes bouncing ‘round my mind can’t take us back or rewind time
And now I’m gettin oh so tired of puttin’ out your constant fires

We can’t go back and start again so maybe we have reached our end
Unless one day you can forgive the echoes of how we used to live

Those silent echoes lose control and break up everything we know
Those silent echoes break our hearts and silently tear us apart

Those silent echoes break our hearts and now we’re torn apart
