Echos In The Dark Lyrics

I remember the first day you walked into my life

Caught me off guard like a spark in the night

But I wore a mask played the part of a fool

Thought I had to be hard to fit in with this crew

You smiled at me and I turned away fast

Putting up walls trying to hide from the past

Telling myself that I couldn't let you in

Pretending to hate you but that's where it begins

Now I sit alone drowning in regret

Oh how I wish I had treated you better

Instead of pushing you away like a bitter debtor

Caught in a cycle my heart's in a cage

Hiding behind anger while you sparked up my rage

Days turned to weeks the silence grew loud

Thought I could forget blend in with the crowd

But every laugh every tear reminded me then

That beneath all this hatred I was craving you friend

I was a coward wore my heart like a shield

Oh how I wish I had treated you better

Instead of pushing you away like a bitter debtor

Caught in a cycle my heart's in a cage

Hiding behind anger while you sparked up my rage

Oh how I wish I had treated you better

Instead of pushing you away like a bitter debtor

Now the days slip away while I pay for my sins

Suffocated in shadows wishing for where it begins
