Echoes

I could've let it build up, I could've been bitter But the choice to take the high road was highly better The choice to block my ears and keep my mouth closed Has saved me time and tears, has left you alone I can't see in your mind, I can't find your intentions But I should've heard the lies, indiscretions Guess this is life and this is how these things go Gotta face it and smile, but sometimes when I'm alone I still hear the echoes I still feel your ghost And though I've set you free You can't just let me be I still feel the cold Can't warm the chill in my bones You're far away from me But anger cuts deep And I still bleed I went on, I went silent, scared of my own tongue Cause of the damage you claimed my words had done You broke my image down, stood on the wreckage of me Cried help the victim, but you were guilty I hope my words get back to you, and I hope they stay in the air They suffocate what is left, they burn their place in your head Can't shake them, nothing will take them away Cause that's what you did to me I still hear the echoes I still feel your ghost And though I've set you free You can't just let me be I still feel the cold Can't warm the chill in my bones You're far away from me But anger cuts deep And I still bleed I've known betrayal, but this is worse Cause it's my fault, I can't say I hurt You got built back up, I apologise but it isn't enough You cried wolf and everyone heard But they believed your every word So innocent Who would've known any different? I still hear the echoes I still feel your ghost And though I've set you free You can't just let me be I still feel the cold Can't warm the chill in my bones You're far away from me But anger cuts deep And I still bleed Can you hear me? Can you hear me? I still bleed
