Empty House Echo
Lyrics
Verse 1
I wake up mad at the floor
Same pain, same scars, same war
Phone dead, no calls, no shore
I keep my smile in a drawer
Mama said, “Boy, you look thin”
I said, “I been losing again”
I’m in the room with my sins
And the walls keep closing me in
Blue pills in the palm of my hand
Cheap drinks, I can’t make a plan
I tell myself I’m still a man
Then I fold like paper in sand
She left and took my warm side
Now the bed feel way too wide
I laugh, but it’s mostly pride
Truth is, I been dead inside
Pre-Chorus
I don’t need the world to know
I just need this ache to go
I been low, I been low
Way too low, way too low
Chorus
I’m still here, still hurt
Still tryna fight this curse
I’m fucked up, I know
But I ain’t letting go
Empty house, empty chest
Heart bruised, no rest
I’m still here, still hurt
Still tryna fight this curse
Verse 2
I seen friends turn to smoke
One more shot, one more joke
Then the night got mean and cold
And the truth got hard to hold
I don’t preach, I don’t judge
I just know how deep it cuts
When the bottle numbs the blood
And the mirrors call your bluff
Last week I cried in the car
Parked up under that old dark sky
Couldn’t tell if I’m done
Or just too tired to die
Love broke me down to dust
Trust ain’t shit if it turns to rust
I keep saying I’m good enough
But that lie don’t mean much
Pre-Chorus
I don’t need the world to know
I just need this ache to go
I been low, I been low
Way too low, way too low
Chorus
I’m still here, still hurt
Still tryna fight this curse
I’m fucked up, I know
But I ain’t letting go
Empty house, empty chest
Heart bruised, no rest
I’m still here, still hurt
Still tryna fight this curse
Bridge
If I text you back, don’t ask why
Sometimes I need a voice alive
Sometimes I need to hear my name
To drag me out of my brain
I’m not proud of the shit I’ve done
Night by night, I outrun the sun
But if I fall, if I break
Hope somebody still says my name
Chorus
I’m still here, still hurt
Still tryna fight this curse
I’m fucked up, I know
But I ain’t letting go
Empty house, empty chest
Heart bruised, no rest
I’m still here, still hurt
Still tryna fight this curse
