Empty Echoes

[Intro – gentle acoustic guitar arpeggios, faint piano hum] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – quiet, vulnerable, sparse strums] I sit alone inside my head Same old story, new unsteady steps Emotions loop that I can’t outrun Every quiet moment feels like a gun [Pre-Chorus – building tension, soft string swells] Voices hum a bitter line Whisper I’d be better off resigned I tried the rooms with padded chairs Found more comfort in my own unheard prayers [Chorus 1 – warm piano, layered vocals, raw longing] I just want to feel someone’s love Carefree truth, no push or shove To trust and be trusted by the ones around Instead of silence where my heart should sound [Verse 2 – slightly more urgent, guitar picks up pace] My phone stays quiet, no calls, no texts The one I love just turns and exits Pills they gave me left me more hollow Am I overreacting, or is this my sorrow? [Pre-Chorus 2 – tighter tension, faint drum beat] I’ve got no one to share the dark No hand to hold when the night leaves its mark The world keeps spinning, I’m stuck in place Chasing a warmth I can’t seem to trace [Chorus 2 – fuller sound, emotional peak] I just want to feel someone’s love Carefree truth, no push or shove To trust and be trusted by the ones around Instead of silence where my heart should sound [Bridge – stripped back, only piano, fragile vocals] I’m tired of fighting this lonely fight Tired of hiding behind a fake bright light All I crave is a single honest glance A sign that I’m not just a shadow’s chance [Final Chorus – full band, soaring strings, hopeful edge] I just want to feel someone’s love Carefree truth, no push or shove To trust and be trusted by the ones around Maybe someday my heart will finally sound [Outro – fading guitar, soft piano fade] Maybe someday the silence will end Maybe someone will see me, my friend
