[English]

Your voice is an echo

I find so hard to let go

Now everything's so cold

I know I can't do this on my own

Only you can give me the oxygen I need

And I know I could never let go

'Cause all I hear is your echo

Your echo, your echo

All I hear is your echo

Your echo, your echo

All I hear is your echo

...

Echo

All I hear is your echo

...

Your echo

Echo

Up above or down below

I know the future is still unknown

But there is somethings we can't replace

Oh-oh

Your voice is an echo

I find so hard to let go

Now everything's so cold

I know I can't do this on my own

Only you can give me the oxygen I need

And I know I could never let go

'Cause all I hear is your echo

...

All I hear is your echo

Your echo, your echo

All I hear is your echo

Your echo, your echo

All I hear is your echo

...

All I hear is your echo

...

Echo

All I hear is your echo

...
