Echoes
micanythm Lyrics

I knock on your door
I reached out to you, hoping for a response or a sign of your presence

Hoped you'd reciprocate or
I wished that you would react in the same way or show the same level of interest

Even be there
Simply hoped that you would be present or available

When I needed someone who'd care
During a time when I needed someone who would be concerned and empathetic

Why do I have to
I wonder why I am required to

Count on the odds of you
Rely on the chances or probabilities of you

Being there or not
Whether you will be present or absent

If I still got a shot
If I still have a chance or possibility

Or is this bound to end
Or if this is destined to come to an end

I walk through a tunnel looking for you on the other end
I traverse a path, searching for you at the opposite side, hoping to reunite

I call your name but can only hear me echoing
I call out to you, yet all I hear is the sound of my own voice echoing back

Only to find a dead end and no sign of you
Ultimately discovering a point of no progress or resolution, without any indication of your presence

Why couldn't I have seen this coming
Why was I unable to anticipate or foresee this outcome

My each step grinding the dirt on the ground
With every step I take, I feel the pressure and frustration of my journey

Oh when will I just turn back around
Oh, when will I have the strength to reverse my course

But half of my heart hopes there's still an 'us'
However, a part of my heart holds onto the hope that there is still a chance for our relationship

Waiting, waiting, to be found
Patiently waiting, longing to be discovered or acknowledged

Did I go too far
Did I exceed certain limits or boundaries

Was it me that sent you afar
Was it my actions or behavior that caused you to distance yourself

I just can't figure out
I simply cannot comprehend or understand

If you ever feel anything at all
If you even have any emotions or sentiments towards me

Now here I feeling like a fool
Now I find myself experiencing embarrassment or foolishness

When all I did was wish you'd love me too
Even though all I did was desire for you to love me in return

Wearing my heart out
Baring my emotions and vulnerability

For god knows who it's for now...
For an unknown recipient or purpose at this point in time

My dignity shattered all over the ground
My self-respect and pride fractured and scattered across the floor

Oh when will I just turn back around
Oh, when will I find the strength to reverse my course once again

But half of my heart hopes there's still an 'us'
Nevertheless, a part of my heart continues to cling onto the belief that there is still a chance for our relationship

Somewhere in your mind too
Existing within your thoughts or consciousness as well

I know I should go but
I am aware that I should leave, but

I don't know where to
I am uncertain of where I should turn or direct myself

Turn so I'm left here
Make a decision, resulting in me being stranded or abandoned here

hanging on to us...
Desperately clinging to the hope of our relationship

My dignity still laying there on the ground
My self-respect and pride remain discarded on the floor

Oh when will I just turn back around
Oh, when will I gather the courage to once again change my direction

Why does my heart still hope there's an 'us'
Why does my heart continue to hold onto the belief that there is still a chance for our relationship

Why am I still waiting for you?
Why do I find myself patiently anticipating your presence or actions
