Death of Youth - Echoes Lyrics

In the dark, I'm still here
Constantly staring through tainted glass
Looking back at a past that's now long gone
Even after all this time, I'm still clinging on to false hope that one day you'll come back
And we can somehow reconcile
I've never been that good at letting go

I'm still haunted by our final encounter
After so long in limbo, I thought I'd finally get some closure
But seeing your face brought me right back

And it almost felt like we'd never been apart
Surrounded by echoes of what we once were
The needlework holding my heart in place came undone
And my wounds burst at the seams

Seeing you again was so much harder than when we first parted ways
Since all it did was provide me with a painful reminder of everything we left behind
I had to fight back tears during our final goodbye since it was transparently clear
That we'd never have that time again
I was glad to see that you're doing well
But now I'm left with a vacuum that I'm not sure I can ever truly fill

Will I ever make sense of this?
As I'm not closer to understanding the coroner's report
Now it's almost as if you were never even here, and all these songs hit way too close to home
I'm so sick of waking up alone and longing for your presence to soothe me
