It's an illusion
My mind tells my eyes what to see
And you didn't help
This lie you let me live
This lie would be the death of me

And your love was an echo
You heard it for a little while
But eventually it dies away
My love was an echo
I shouted it out
But all I heard was myself in the dark

It's not that easy
That easy to love you when you did what you did
Honestly, things might get better
If you just disappeared

And your love was an echo
You heard it for a little while
But eventually it dies away
And my love was an echo
I shouted it out
But all I heard was myself in the dark

And you can tell where my heart is
I want a girl with my love and my life
In the palm of her hand
Your love was an echo
Not a girl who shrugged and says to herself
He's just another man

And don't be mad at me
How can I be at fault
When I did nothing wrong
Is there a way to love me
But still another
And hope that it's okay

Was our love just the same game
You just lied, never tried
Why, oh, why, did I waste my time on you?
Why, oh, why, did I waste my time on you?
Why, oh, why, did I waste my time on you
