Love Echoes and Shards

A heartache in the shadows, where memories outlast Each echo tells a story, where joy meets with disdain The clock ticks on in silence, marking time's refrain You barely heard my whispers, amidst the thundering fears You barely heard my whispers, now they're louder than my tears Carry me softly Life's unfair, the same old heartbreaking song You see it in my eyes, the burdens that I hide In every fragile breath, a piece of hope has died I've already told you, how the smiles can hide the cries I've already told you, with each goodbye a part of me just dies Hold my hand It's tough to bear, life's weight upon your soul You've already heard me, now you feel the strife You've already heard me, through the darkest nights I've already shown you, but now I shiver in the pain I've already shown you, now you see me when the tears like rain Guide me through I stand alone (echoes alone) In the echoes of an empty home Whispers turn to cries, as I roam I’m calling out, where's the love once shown? You've seen me broken, shards of heart displayed Life's cruel joke, in the debts I've paid Just take my hand, don't let me fade In the shadows of sorrow, we've both been laid Now the silence is all that remains The echoes, the heartache, the unending pain [Outro] Promise me, darling, some peace you'll bestow In this life of ours, where the lost rivers flow
