R&B ballad with mid-tempo sway, tight kick-snare pulse, warm sub bass, and syncopated Rhodes; verse stays intimate and low with sparse chords, pre-chorus opens with rising strings and filtered backing vocals, chorus blooms with stacked harmonies and a clipped drum lift. Lead vocal is close-mic and aching, with double-tracked chorus lines, delay throws on key phrases, and soft ad-lib responses. Ear candy: reversed piano swells into each chorus, a breathy pause before the hook, and shimmer hits on the final line. Mix is glossy, wide, and emotionally up-front, male vocals, strong

Prompt:
[Verse 1] I’ve been the shoulder you lean on, the fire you call home, Every time you stumble, I’m the one who pulls you strong. But the weight keeps piling, and the thanks never show, It’s like my love’s invisible, and I’m tired of the blow. You say you need me, but your actions disagree, Every sacrifice I make feels like it’s mocking me. I gave you patience, I gave you grace, But you rub it in my face, like I’m out of place. [Pre-Chorus] I’m done being the echo in your hollow room, Done holding the door while you turn into the bruise. I kept my heart open, you kept taking through, Now I’m standing at the edge, and I’m calling it truth. [Chorus] I’m done being the echo In your hollow room I’m done being the echo I can’t carry you Say my name, don’t use me Like a place to hide I loved you loud and honest Now I choose my side [Verse 2] You come back soft when the night gets cold, With a broken little promise and a story told. I read the same lines on your tired mouth, But the same old hurt keeps circling out. I knew your storms, I knew your rain, I held your hands through the shaking pain. But love ain’t a rope you can pull all day, I’m not your rescue when you drift away. [Pre-Chorus] I’m done being the echo in your hollow room, Done holding the door while you turn into the bruise. I kept my heart open, you kept taking through, Now I’m standing at the edge, and I’m calling it truth. [Chorus] I’m done being the echo In your hollow room I’m done being the echo I can’t carry you Say my name, don’t use me Like a place to hide I loved you loud and honest Now I choose my side [Bridge] Take the last of what you want I’m not breaking for you now You can call it love, but I Can hear the silence in your vows I won’t beg for a little warmth From a hand that leaves me cold What you took was never small But I’m taking back my soul [Final Chorus] I’m done being the echo In your hollow room I’m done being the echo I can’t carry you Say my name, don’t use me Like a place to hide I loved you loud and honest Now I choose my side
