Echoing Silence

In the quiet of this silence you've created

I can't do anything but question who you are

Who I was when I said that you were everything

What was hiding from me was the silence inside you

I looked at you for so long

And I knew that I could never be you

I could never be what you were

These people shoved me down, took my pride away

They never knew the secret I held, or what I saw in you

And everything I did, it was in your name

Every pain I took for you was a lie

The years went by, and life still treated me the same

But my eyes were wiser, my heart was no longer afraid

I showed you my heart and my curse

You took my pain and twisted it inside me

The life left in me was barely breathing

But I stood up again

I found why I tried to save the love I have for you

Everything's put away, everything's gone

You're put to my past, but I wish this wasn't your song

My mistakes were lessons that were for when I was young

Even still I can't let go of what you've done

And now that the pains have passed

My scars are memories of what's happened

I can't let you go, I wish I could let you know

That my love for you will never go away

It will never go away
