All that Matters

Verse 1: I’m standing still, but the world’s moving fast, Another cigarette, but it never seems to last, The city’s drowning in a neon haze, I’ve been running circles, lost in yesterday. Pre-Chorus: And you said we’d make it through the storm, But the skies are falling, and it’s not what we were warned, The silence screams, but no one hears, We’re all just waiting for the end of years. Chorus: Echoes in the rain, I hear your voice, but it’s never the same, We’re chasing shadows on the empty streets, Hoping we’ll find the light we’ll never meet, Echoes in the rain, We’re caught between love and the pain, We’re burning out, but we’re still alive, In the echoes, we’ll survive. Verse 2: I saw your face in the window last night, A flicker of hope in a world gone white, But you’ve slipped through my fingers like the mist, And the words we left unspoken still exist. Pre-Chorus: And you said it’s all part of the game, But now it feels like we’re drowning in the flames, All our dreams are crumbling like stone, I never thought I’d have to face this alone. Chorus: Echoes in the rain, I hear your voice, but it’s never the same, We’re chasing shadows on the empty streets, Hoping we’ll find the light we’ll never meet, Echoes in the rain, We’re caught between love and the pain, We’re burning out, but we’re still alive, In the echoes, we’ll survive. Bridge: Is there a way out, or are we just pretending? A thousand questions, but no happy endings, We’re spinning circles in a world so cold, But we’ll keep moving, ’cause we’re never sold. Chorus (Reprise): Echoes in the rain, I hear your voice, but it’s never the same, We’re chasing shadows on the empty streets, Hoping we’ll find the light we’ll never meet, Echoes in the rain, We’re caught between love and the pain, We’re burning out, but we’re still alive, In the echoes, we’ll survive. Outro: Echoes in the rain… We’ll survive, we’ll survive… Echoes in the rain…

(Verse 1) I finally get her on the phone, and I close my eyes to breathe, Thinkin’ whether or not to ask her if she’s free, But I hold back because she loves a friend not me, No matter how hard, (Chorus) I love, She loves a friend not me, No matter how hard, I try, She loves a friend not me. Oh, the way she laughs, oh the way she plays, Caught in the shadow of a heart that sways, I’m standing here, just watchin’ her glow, But she’s reaching out for someone I know. (Verse 2) I see them laughing, under that streetlight, Every word he says makes her eyes shine bright, And I’m just a ghost, hauntin’ this empty room, Chasin’ shadows of love, while I pulse with gloom. (Chorus) No matter how hard, I love, She loves a friend not me, No matter how hard, I try, She loves a friend not me. Oh, the way she laughs, the way she plays, Caught in the shadow of a heart that sways, I’m standing here, just watchin’ her glow, But she’s reaching out for someone I know. (Bridge) He doesn’t like you, but you like him, Why can't you see I like you, why can't you feel the same? I’m caught in this web, a bittersweet spin, While you chase a love that's playing a game. (Chorus) Oh, the way she laughs, the way she plays, Caught in the shadow of a heart that sways, I’m standing here, just watchin’ her glow, But she’s reaching out for someone I know. (Outro) No matter how hard, I love, She loves a friend not me, No matter how hard, I try, She loves a friend not me, Oh, no matter how hard, I love, She loves a friend not me, No matter how hard, I try, She loves a friend not me. Yeah, she loves a friend not me.

I love you to the moon and back. I keep on getting this feeling inside. I think its in my mind. I look up at the stars at night. Thinking if i put up a fight. I really really tried that day. To make the monsters go away. But no matter how hard i tried. I couldn't be there by your side

Verse 1 What we thought / is all that matters, (Now it’s scattered,) torn in tatters. What we brought / is all that I care, It’s just too much / for me to bear. I still remember, / you walked out that door, Lookin' so proud, / like you needed more. I stared down hopeless / at the floor, Covered by a shroud, / lost in the crowd. Chorus And I’m holding on / to echoes, Fading in the night. Haunted by shadows, / (pause) losing fight. We were brighter / than the stars up in the sky, Now I’m here alone, / (pause) asking why. Verse 2 All the promises / that felt so real, Now they’re wounds / that’ll never heal. The memories we painted, / strong Ashes in my hands, / what went wrong You had dreams / you chased into the blue, But I was left here, / waiting for you. Caught in the waves / of what used to be, Lost in love / I can’t set free. Memories painted, / colors bold Ashes in hand, /cold and old Chorus And I’m holding on / to echoes, Fading in the night. Haunted by the shadows, / (pause) losing fight. We were brighter / than the stars up in the sky, Now I’m here alone, / (pause) asking why. Bridge Maybe someday / we’ll find our way, Through all the broken things, / We meant to say I really wished we could stay But all that past must go away Until then, I’ll stay in place, With the ghost of us / can’t erase. We were meant to,/ cover the night Not to run,/ first light in sight Outro What we thought / is all that mattered, Here I am, / dreams shattered. What you brought / is all I hold, In a story that’s left un told.

(Verse 1) There's nothing romantic about dying, It's brutal, messy, and raw, No beauty in broken bodies, Or gasping breaths that fall. The silence cold and hollow, It leaves us asking why, It rips apart the ones who stay, With pain that never dies. (Pre-Chorus) But it's not in the end, not in the fall, There's no glory in losing it all. (Chorus) The real beauty is in living, fully, fiercely, In every breath we're given, love sincerely. While the light still shines, while our hearts can feel, The real beauty is in living, that’s what’s real. Not in the loss, not in the void, But in the moments we enjoy. No, there’s nothing romantic about dying, The beauty’s in the living we’re denying. (Verse 2) It tears apart the ones who stay, Leaves lives shattered and torn, With grief too deep for words to say, And nights that feel so long. No answers for the aching heart, No peace inside the pain, But in the time before we part, There's so much more to gain. (Pre-Chorus) So live while you can, don’t hold back the fire, Find the beauty in each desire. (Chorus) The real beauty is in living, fully, fiercely, In every breath we're given, love sincerely. While the light still shines, while our hearts can feel, The real beauty is in living, that’s what’s real. Not in the loss, not in the void, But in the moments we enjoy. No, there’s nothing romantic about dying, The beauty’s in the living we’re denying. (Bridge) Hold on to every moment, don’t let it fade away, There’s nothing in the suffering that makes you wanna stay. The real truth is in living with a heart that’s open wide, Not waiting for the darkness, but embracing life’s wild ride. (Chorus) The real beauty is in living, fully, fiercely, In every breath we're given, love sincerely. While the light still shines, while our hearts can feel, The real beauty is in living, that’s what’s real. Not in the loss, not in the void, But in the moments we enjoy. No, there’s nothing romantic about dying, The beauty’s in the living, so stop denying. (Outro) No, there’s nothing romantic about dying… The beauty is right here, in the living.

Since I'm Going through the motion! longing for emotion! muffling the sense of Alienation! can you feel? can you see? can you hear? all my silenced pleas? can I be? should I be? shouldn't be? while everything seems I'm just Going through the motion! longing for emotion! muffling the sense of Alienation! Sensing the End! drowning the despair! walking for another day! just going through the motions
