You left without a word to me
If I had known, I'd never have let you leave
But still, you did what you always do
Made the choice for me, you did it again

You left behind a letter I held for so long
Too scared to open, I know that was wrong
But I wasn't ready for a goodbye
Handwritten and laid out in ink to cry

Paper scars you carved in me
I saw you in places you'd never be
I wished you there but you were gone
Only an echo I kept holding on

Your name on the walls
Your ghost in my sheets
These echoes we breathe
They're all I keep
These echoes we breathe

And after leaving me, breaking me down
Making me believe I'd never come back around
You just show up now and think somehow
You can fix it all, right here and now?

Do you even know the hurt your absence made?
You must be crazy to believe
A simple healing could erase
All the pain and scars your leaving gave

Your name on the walls
Your ghost in my sheets
These echoes we breathe
They're all I keep
These echoes we breathe
