Echo in the Hall

There's a jacket still hanging On the chair by the door Left from a night that meant nothing At least, that's what you swore I poured all my fire Into someone too cold Now I'm singing to shadows Of stories never told I keep calling out your name But it's just walls that play the game You're an echo in the hall A ghost behind my fall I reach out but you don't call You were never mine at all You kissed me with a maybe Then left me where you found me Now I chase a love that stalls Just echoes in these halls I wrote our future in ink But you read it in sand Every plan, every promise You let it slip through your hand And I played the fool proudly Thought I'd rewrite your mind But your heart was a whisper Already lost in time If love's a crime Then I served my time Built a dream on broken ground Now I sleep with the sound Of your echo in the hall That sweet and cruel downfall You smiled then watched me crawl You were never mine at all I still sing our unfinished line But it fades like cheap red wine Some love just waits to stall Like echoes in the hall
