Eternal Echoes: Yearning in the Silence
Lyrics
I get bored of talking when I'm not talking about you
I find conversations uninteresting unless they involve you.
Yeah, it gets redundant but at least I tell the truth
Repeating the topic about you might be tiresome, but at least it's honest.
There's a certain silence in my head that I can't stand
I struggle with the quiet thoughts in my mind.
The future we abandoned rots away like a wasteland
The potential future we discarded is decaying like a barren landscape.
I use social media to fill the void you left
I use social media to fill the emptiness you left behind.
Waiting for an apologetic call or a perfectly worded text
Hoping for an apology or a perfectly crafted text from you.
I listen to sad songs looking for answers
I seek answers in sad songs, trying to find you in the lyrics.
Finding you in between the lines
Discovering traces of you between the lines of sad songs.
I wanna forget about you but that only makes me wanna cry
Trying to forget you, but it only brings tears.
Everybody's moving on but all my pain is far from gone
While others move forward, my pain persists.
I really should let go cause the blood's already drawn
Should let go, but the damage is already done.
You're my favorite conversation starter
You are the topic I love discussing.
I bring you up at dinner 'fore they even bring the water
I mention you at dinner before anything else.
I add novel details every time
Each time, I embellish the story with new details.
Breaking news like a major headline
Sharing updates about you as if it's breaking news.
I'll do anything I can to keep you on my mind
I'll go to great lengths to keep you in my thoughts.
Every night at 10pm I do my best to resist
Trying to resist thoughts of you every night at 10pm.
By 10:30 I find I'm halfway down our favorite playlist
By 10:30, I succumb and revisit our shared playlist.
I don't skip a single note though I always thought you had bad taste
Even though I disagreed with your taste, I don't skip any songs.
You're a melody that lingers on, a song I can't escape
You are a persistent and inescapable presence like a lingering melody.
I don't forgive you, I just wish you hadn't left me in the dark
I haven't forgiven you; I just wish you hadn't kept me in the dark.
All I really want is to be back in your arms
All I desire is to be back in your embrace.
You're my favorite conversation starter
You remain my preferred topic of conversation.
I bring you up at dinner 'fore they even bring the water
I bring you up at dinner, becoming a routine.
I add novel details every time
Continually adding embellishments to the stories about you.
Breaking news like a major headline
Sharing updates about you as if it's major breaking news.
You're my favorite conversation starter
You are still my favorite subject of conversation.
I thought we'd be a dream come true but I should have been smarter
I thought we would be perfect, but I should have been more intelligent.
I write you into every rhyme
I incorporate thoughts of you into every piece of writing.
So saying I've let go would be a godforsaken lie
Claiming to have moved on would be a blatant lie.
I'll do everything I can to keep you on my mind
I will go to any lengths to keep you in my thoughts.
Wish I could get you off my mind
Wishing I could stop thinking about you.
Talking, talking, talking about you all the time
Constantly talking about you, unable to break the cycle.
I wish I just stayed quiet
Regretting not staying silent about my feelings.
