Johny Window - Echos In The Dark Lyrics

I remember the first day you walked into my life
Caught me off guard like a spark in the night
But I wore a mask played the part of a fool
Thought I had to be hard to fit in with this crew

You smiled at me and I turned away fast
Putting up walls trying to hide from the past
Telling myself that I couldn't let you in
Pretending to hate you but that's where it begins

Now I sit alone drowning in regret

Oh how I wish I had treated you better
Instead of pushing you away like a bitter debtor
Caught in a cycle my heart's in a cage
Hiding behind anger while you sparked up my rage

Days turned to weeks the silence grew loud
Thought I could forget blend in with the crowd
But every laugh every tear reminded me then
That beneath all this hatred I was craving you friend

I was a coward wore my heart like a shield

Oh how I wish I had treated you better
Instead of pushing you away like a bitter debtor
Caught in a cycle my heart's in a cage
Hiding behind anger while you sparked up my rage

Oh how I wish I had treated you better
Instead of pushing you away like a bitter debtor
Now the days slip away while I pay for my sins
Suffocated in shadows wishing for where it begins
