Echoes in the Rain

I've grown used to nights with no stars above
Leaning back against a flickering street light
I can wear my solitude like it's nothing
Even my scars are a part of me
My lips tremble at the edge of the glass
I've just gotten better at pretending I'm fine
The name I thought I'd forgotten falls in the rain
Straight to my chest
Every time I grow stronger just a little
The things I want to protect keep growing
My heart still can't catch up
But I keep walking anyway
Even if the cold rain hides my tears
I still remember you
The nights I pretend to be strong are lies
It's just that at night I get a little weak
Even without you the world goes on
I know that will still sometimes my chest aches
If I can't forget memories are enough
I don't mind getting wet in the cold rain
I won't stop anymore
Facing my shadows
I look ahead and step forward with these feet
You know, the truth is
I thought if I called your name, you'd come back
But strength isn't really about never crying
Meeting you
I never thought I'd get this hurt
But the time we spent together was truly priceless
The laughs we shared, the fights we had, now all of it is treasure
Too precious to erase
There are nights when I long for a human touch
Still, this is fine
This solitude suits me
I chose freedom
And that's the price
After the rain
I look up at the sky
Will it be sunny tomorrow?
