Title:
“Lost in the Echo”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Am F
Caught in the web of your sweet deception,
C G
Your love is the poison, I’m the addiction.
Am F
The echo of your voice, it lingers in silence,
C G
Like a haunting melody, a song of defiance.

(Chorus)
Am F
I’m lost in the echo of your goodbye,
C G
Wandering aimlessly beneath the night sky.
Am F
In every shadow, in every reflection,
C G
I see your face, feel your rejection.

(Verse 2)
Am F
I drink in the pain, it’s a bitter potion,
C G
But it’s better than feeling no emotion.
Am F
With every heartbeat, with every breath,
C G
I’m caught in the crossroads of life and death.

(Chorus)
Am F
I’m lost in the echo of your goodbye,
C G
Wandering aimlessly beneath the night sky.
Am F
In every shadow, in every reflection,
C G
I see your face, feel your rejection.
