Echoes

Why am I forgetful
When I wanna play
Little memories
From the years so far away
They've been locked where my sadness lays
In a garden that's like a tomb
It'll grow but just not for you

If those thoughts do enter your head
They'll just come in fragments
Never making sense enough to beget
Any big emotion, any sore regrets
They're just echoes, you'll hear echoes
Instead

(You'll hear echoes, I hear echoes, they're just echoes, in my head)
(They're just echoes, I hear echoes, in my head)

What's this illusion
I anticipate
That the past is better than the way ahead
As I trudge through my days I wait
For a feeling that never comes
Things are different when you're young
This unique flavour of pain
Should I let it grasp me?
What if I never feel that way again?
All that carefree laughter that I can't attain
It just echoes, I hear echoes
In my head

(It just echoes, I hear echoes, In my head.)
(it just echoes, I hear echoes, In my head.)
(They're just echoes, I hear echoes, In my head.)
