[Intro]

No need for mutual feelings

Not everything works out

And we'll always have the echoes

I guess I'm no longer in doubt

But it's all a facade, all in vane

I'm left just trying, to get away


[Verse 1]

Please just drown them out

The echoes, of what's untold

And they're indifferent

I still vex at the difference

The leeching mold

I want to be

Content with their indifference

Content as is their mindset

But it's hard when I'm reminded

Always reminded of what

Could've been yet


[Bridge]

They're just echoes

But I'll never forget their face

Or the way they made feel

But it's hard to stay afloat

I guess I'm

Stubborn, with who I really am


[Chorus]

But thanks for reminding me to breathe

Thanks for reminding me to breathe


[Verse 2]

And thrived in different perspectives

Alone the moss suffered in the

Heat of the sun

But the conditions gave way, to a

Colorful someone


[Hook]

My sunshine and my lilac

You could have thrived without my lack

Of confidence

But in spite

You were there for me, when

I couldn't fight on my own

You found the way

You found the light all by yourself

It's all you ever asked of me

Oh, and well I might fight it in good health

But now we grow apart

You atop a new shelf

And you've plenty others

Who can care for thyself


[Bridge 1]

So please stop visiting me internally

Do I hate the dreams or is this

Hate that I'm not dreaming?

My mirror visitor won't leave me alone

Well I miss that home, and now I'm

Bleached in the darkness


[Bridge 2]

(Late night mornings, awake in a cold sweat)

Didn't mean for any of it, no

(I see your face in the crowd, but)

And yet it seems I'm just making it worse

(You see somebody else)


[Hook]

Darling have I forgotten, what I

Spent so many

Late night mornings

Crying for first?!

..I mean have things really changed?


[Verse 3]

A lingering plague on my mind

How I've managed to lose this

Alone in my thoughtful decline

Contributor

To this ache

And yet I prevail to ask

Are you really fine?

Hope in the past

Not present in the now, while

Resent of the future

Wishing that someday, somehow

We'd find our way to each other


[Chorus]

But thanks for reminding me to breathe

Thanks for reminding me to breathe

(Hey Benji)


[Chorus]

But I won't lie

I'm glad, albeit overdue

A springtime lilac

Lately flowering anew

A springtime lilac

Lately flowering anew

But I won't lie I'm sad

My whole world was you


[Outro]

A springtime lilac

Lately flowering anew
