I wonder what I did to make you run away
Did I not offer enough incentives to stay
You took my optimism with you unfortunately
These thoughts in my head just aren't me
I am a waste of space, I am a waste of air
It's a waste for anyone to even care
About me, I have no purpose
Bring on the anguish, cuz I know I deserve it

Chorus:
Now that you're gone, I can't escape
I used to use my fantasies to get me through the day
I can't count on illusions to get me through
But I'm finding myself clinging to echoes of you

I have a habit of holding on when I know it's not worth it
Of relying on those who didn't earn it
I can take a lot, though my pain tolerance is low
Wouldn't have begun this had I known
I was lost in you, now I'm lost in myself
Don't know who I am, how can I be helped?
I reach out to find something to hold onto
But it's an illusion, an echo of you

Chorus:
Now that you're gone, I can't escape
I used to use my fantasies to get me through the day
I can't count on illusions to get me through
But I'm finding myself clinging to echoes of you

I see you apologize
But then I realize
It's just an echo of you
Not the real you
And it can't undo
What you put me through

Chorus:
Now that you're gone, I can't escape
I used to use my fantasies to get me through the day
I can't count on illusions to get me through
But I'm finding myself clinging to echoes of you
