Verse 1:
Met her in the quiet shadows, she was rollin' in a chair,
Rheumatoid bones but a soul that still had fire to share.
I gave my hands, my heart, my back, built a world for us to grow,
But love ain't always seen the way you hope it shows.
Chorus:
Now I’m left with the echoes of a heart unseen,
Torn by words that cut, unseen wounds that never heal clean.
I tried to give my boys the world, tried to be the man they’d need,
But hate took root, and I’m left with only me.
Verse 2:
She whispered fears in their young ears, tales too dark to fight,
Turned love into shadows and day into endless night.
I was workin' late, buildin' dreams, thought they'd know my truth,
But lies, they build walls even hard work can’t break through.
Chorus:
Now I’m left with the echoes of a heart unseen,
Torn by words that cut, unseen wounds that never heal clean.
I tried to give my boys the world, tried to be the man they’d need,
But hate took root, and I’m left with only me.
Bridge:
Maybe one day they’ll understand the scars they couldn’t see,
Maybe one day they’ll feel the love that was always meant to be.
Till then, I carry on, with memories and broken dreams,
Left to haunt these empty walls and echoes of a heart unseen.
Chorus:
Now I’m left with the echoes of a heart unseen,
Torn by words that cut, unseen wounds that never heal clean.
I tried to give my boys the world, tried to be the man they’d need,
But hate took root, and I’m left with only me.
Outro:
Yeah, hate took root, and I’m left with only me,
But maybe in those echoes, they'll one day finally see.
