Verse 1:
I worked the days and nights away,
Chasing dreams I thought would stay,
In the shadows, I lost my light,
Now I see it wasn’t right.
Chorus:
Oh, the echoes, echoes of regret,
Living for others, can’t forget,
Too much time in the race I did spend,
Now I wish I had just learned to bend.
Verse 2:
Trying to fit in every mold,
Hiding stories left untold,
Their praises felt like chains on me,
Now I long for the person I could be.
Chorus:
Oh, the echoes, echoes of regret,
Living for others, can’t forget,
Too much time in the race I did spend,
Now I wish I had just learned to bend.
Bridge:
If I could turn back the hands of time,
I’d wear my truth like a chime,
Call my name, dance to my own beat,
Find my joy, feel complete.
Chorus:
Oh, the echoes, echoes of regret,
Living for others, can’t forget,
Too much time in the race I did spend,
Now I wish I had just learned to bend.
Outro:
So here I stand, with lessons learned,
In the twilight, my heart has turned,
To forge a path that’s truly mine,
In the echoes, I finally shine.
