About trying so hard to make changes in who you are
to get to a better, happier place in your life.
She's been sitting here for hours
A warm cup heating in her hands
Quiet surfaces turned slowly
As the warmth transforms her within
She says for a moment I felt like
when I first met him
It was the most honest place I'd found
and it leads me back from where I started
So long I hardly recognize
Chorus:
It echoes another life
She wants to have and she wants to hold
That's the way to her heart
That right now has no where to go
She says "I've got a lifetime of regret
that's just sitting on these shoulders
So much I haven't said
and I'm not getting any younger.
But are the reasons we were together
better than the ones that we're apart now.
Or was it just the bad choices we made
that were hidden at the time?"
Chorus:
Echoes another life
She wants to have and she wants to hold
That's the way to her heart
That right now has no where to go
Bridge: But I come away stronger
I come away
I come away stronger, I come away
But I come away stronger
I come away But I come away stronger I come away
Stumbling over and over
where life has left me
hoping what I'm leaving is more than what I will have lost
Because in this give and receive,
it's love that has often failed me
Then to reach for the beauty
that was hidden at the time
Chorus:
Echoes another life
She wants to have and she wants to hold
That's the way to her heart
That right now has no where to go
But I come away stronger
I come away
I come away stronger, I come away
But I come away stronger
I come away
