Verse 1
I have searched for you in hollow rooms,
In echoes left where silence bloomed.
A name without a face or form,
A story left to fade, unworn.
Pre-Chorus
But shadows don’t reach out,
And ghosts don’t hold you close.
Did you scream into the void,
Or did it take and never show?
Chorus
Did you ever say my name?
Did you ever feel the weight?
Or was I just a fading thought,
A whisper lost inside the rain?
Verse 2
No lessons left, no words unsaid,
No presence lingering in my head.
I won’t chase what was never there,
A hollow man, an empty chair.
Pre-Chorus
But shadows don’t reach out,
And ghosts don’t hold you close.
Did you scream into the void,
Or did it take and never show?
Chorus
Did you ever say my name?
Did you ever feel the weight?
Or was I just a fading thought,
A whisper lost inside the rain?
Bridge
And if I ever stood before you,
Would you see yourself in me?
Or would you turn the other way—
Pretend there’s nothing left to grieve?
Outro
So I’ll build my own name,
I won’t carry your chains.
You are the ghost I leave behind,
You are the wound that never claimed my life.
