mary of gold - lost echo lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
ooh, mmm
(aah)
i used to know if i am my name
woke up each day, never felt the same
but somewhere between the work an the fight
i dim my glow just to keep things right

my voice got quiet, my dreams got small
i hung ’em on a nail in the back of the hall
every mirror shows a strangers face
a faded woman trying to find her place

[pre+chorus]
(ooh)
i gave the world the best of me
now i can’t find the rest of me
and in the silence all i hear
is the echo of the girl i used to be

[chorus]
i lost myself in the echo of the years
fell through the cracks of my own fears
time moved on like a midnight train
took my joy left behind the pain
[post+chorus]
now i’m standing here trying to know
the woman i was long ago
still hoping love might bring her home
out of the echo
(out of the echo)

(verse 2)
mmm
i wore my strength like a sunday dress
smiled through the mess, said i was blessed
but late at night, when the lights go low
i feel the weight of i’ll never show (mmm)

(ooh)
photos in boxes i don’t open no more
dreams folded neat in a bottom drawer
i used to dance just to hear my name
now i’m swaying slow in someone else’s shame

[pre+chorus]
if i could talk to the girl i was
i’d say don’t give away your life for love
but maybe she’s still deep inside
waiting on me to turn+urn and fight
[chorus]
i lost myself in the echo of the years
fell through the cracks of my own fears
time moved on like a midnight train
took my joy left behind the pain

[post+chorus]
but now i’m reaching (reaching), soft and slow
for the fire i buried long ago
still praying love might bring me home
out of the echo
(out of the echo)

ooh, ooh

(out of the echo)
