We spoke in light, we broke in sound
The moments slipped but stayed around
Your voice still hums beneath my skin
A ghostly breeze where I've been
The night forgot to fade away
Your silence taught the dawn to stay
And though the world began to fade
You were the echo that stayed
Every shadow
hones your name
Every heartbeat feels the same
You were the echo that stayed When everything else decayed
Through ruins,
through rain Through loss and refrain
No sound yet unafraid You were the echo that stayed
The air
still holds your quiet tone
Like frequencies carved into stone
You were the echo that stayed
A
resonance that won't obey
The quiet things that slip away
You were the echo that stayed
Through time unafraid
No dawn, no parade
Just the song we made
When
the stars began to fade You were the echo that stayed
