Urban Echo - Stuck In The Echos Lyrics

Heart on my sleeve, thought you'd see it clear
Thought your silence hit different, now I'm standing here
Said you didn't know how to take my words
Now I'm wondering if you even heard

I sent a message, raw, no disguise
Told you my feelings, couldn't keep them inside
Didn't ask for much, just need a release
But your reply came late, broke the peace
Sorry for the pressure, didn't know what to say
Didn't think we were more than friends anyway

Okay, I took it, tried to stay composed
Told myself to move on, let the door close
But you cleared the air, said he wasn't the one
Said you're focusing on yourself, just trying to run
I respected that, said I'd always support
Kept it real, even when my heart fell short

But then I see you with him, same guy you cut off
Guess the truth got twisted, now I'm feeling lost
Told me growth, told me time
But your actions don't align
With the words in your lines
I'm stuck in the echoes of what you said
While you're out there with him, living instead

You said he pressed you, that wasn't your style
But now he's back, like it was worth the while
Left me on read, like I never mattered
All my words, all my care, now they're scattered
Said you're sorry for the lack of communication
But your actions feel more like manipulation

I told you I'd back off, give you your space
Now I'm watching you rewrite the same mistakes
Was it easier to let me down soft
While you kept the door open for what you cut off
I gave respect, I gave my truth
But now I'm questioning the real you

Said he was cut off, but I see the same story
Guess you're chasing him, while I'm chasing glory
Told me growth, told me time
But your actions don't align
With the words in your lines
I'm stuck in the echoes of what you said
While you're out there with him, living instead

It's not about him, it's about the lies
It's the way you said one thing, then switched sides
I cared too much, thought you were real
But now I'm numb, forgot how to feel
You say one thing, but your moves don't match
And I'm the one left picking up the scraps

So I'm done trying to make sense of your plans
Done waiting for answers, I'll never understand
You said we're friends, but friends don't fake
They don't leave you in pieces, pretending it's okay
I hope you find what you're looking for in him
While I'm learning how to swim in my own pain again
Some lessons hit harder than the truth can say
And some people fade even when you beg them to stay
