Footsteps soft on wooden floor
I don’t close the bedroom door
Your coffee cup is still right there
Like echoes caught in open air
I don’t need to play your song
The silence plays it all night long
Echoes in the hallway
Where your laughter used to be
I reach for sound, but nothing stays
Just shadows talking back to me
I thought time would fade it all away
But echoes in the hallway stay
Old messages, half unread
Your jacket hanging by the bed
Lights flicker like the days we lost
Some things remain, no matter cost
No rewind, no replay
But the past hums anyway
Echoes in the hallway
Where your laughter used to be
I reach for sound, but nothing stays
Just shadows talking back to me
I thought time would fade it all away
But echoes in the hallway stay
I sleep near walls you once leaned on
Listening for something long gone
Echoes in the hallway
Not loud, but always near
Every step, a quiet sway
Of things I used to hold dear
The city sleeps, the night’s all grey
But echoes in the hallway stay
