[Verse 1]
I trace the outline of your face
In photographs we used to chase
Shadows fall where you used to stand
Now there’s only echoes in this empty land
[Pre-Chorus]
We danced on ice too thin to hold
Promises made now feel so cold
Every word we left unsaid
Just lingers now, like the tears we've shed
[Chorus]
How do I move on from echoes of yesterday?
When your ghost still haunts every step I take?
We were a song, now the melody's gone astray
All that remains are echoes, echoes of yesterday
[Verse 2]
The silence speaks louder than our fights
I replay our memories, our broken lights
Every smile, every single kiss
Is a painful reminder of all we miss
[Pre-Chorus]
We danced on ice too thin to hold
Promises made now feel so cold
Every word we left unsaid
Just lingers now, like the tears we've shed
[Chorus]
How do I move on from echoes of yesterday?
When your ghost still haunts every step I take?
We were a song, now the melody's gone astray
All that remains are echoes, echoes of yesterday
[Bridge]
Oh, I wish I could turn back time
Rewrite the lines, make you mine
But every clock ticks away
Leaving only echoes of yesterday
[Chorus]
How do I move on from echoes of yesterday?
When your ghost still haunts every step I take?
We were a song, now the melody's gone astray
All that remains are echoes, echoes of yesterday
[Outro]
Our love once burned bright as day
Now it fades in the twilight grey
In the silence, I’ll find my way
Goodbye to the echoes of yesterday
