Faded Echoes is a poignant and soul-stirring track by Grammy-winning songwriter. In the style of Cage The Elephant, the lyrics delve into the haunting regret and sorrow of losing a friend and realizing too late that you could have done something to change the outcome.
Verse 1:
In the corner of my mind, you're a ghost,
Silent whispers, memories fade,
I watched you slip into the night,
A part of me just walked away.
Pre-Chorus:
I could've stopped the fall,
Reached out when you needed it all,
But now I see the empty space,
Where your smile used to grace.
Chorus:
Faded echoes, they haunt my dreams,
Lost in silence, the pain it screams,
Could've saved you, but I stood still,
Now the void's too hard to fill.
Verse 2:
We were tangled in a web, caught in time,
Moments scattered like fallen leaves,
I saw the signs but closed my eyes,
And now I'm drowning in this grief.
Pre-Chorus:
I could've stopped the fall,
Reached out when you needed it all,
But now I see the empty space,
Where your smile used to grace.
Chorus:
Faded echoes, they haunt my dreams,
Lost in silence, the pain it screams,
Could've saved you, but I stood still,
Now the void's too hard to fill.
Bridge:
Time keeps ticking, but the scars remain,
Every sunrise feels the same,
I replay the moments, wonder why,
It hurts so much to say goodbye.
Chorus:
Faded echoes, they haunt my dreams,
Lost in silence, the pain it screams,
Could've saved you, but I stood still,
Now the void's too hard to fill.
Outro:
In the corner of my mind you'll stay,
A faded echo, a sky turned gray,
Wish I'd reached out when I had the chance,
Now I'm left with this bitter dance.
