Carry the Echo (Jaune Arc)

I was never meant to wear this crown,

Not the sword, not the weight that drags me down

But every friend I've lost is in my stride

Their voices steadying my trembling fight

I break, I mend,

I fail, I stand again

If being strong means choosing to continue,

Then I will

I carry the echo,

Every promise, every shadow

Even when I stumble,

Even when I'm hollow

Hope is still a weapon

I refuse to let go

I'm not a hero yet, but I

Carry the echo

I see them when the night is getting loud

All the moments I could not turn around

I'm still learning how to trust my heart,

But courage starts exactly where you fall apart

I hurt, I heal,

I bleed for something real

If all I am is someone who keeps trying,

That's enough

I carry the echo,

Every promise, every shadow

Even when I stumble,

Even when I'm hollow

Hope is still a weapon

I refuse to let go

I'm not a hero yet, but I

Carry the echo

Light breaks slow

But it breaks

Every wound

Has room to remake

If tomorrow needs a shield,

I'll raise mine again

I carry the echo,

All the love I've had to let go

Every fall has shaped me

Every ghost that saved me

Strength is just the fracture

Where the light can finally show

I'm not a perfect man, but I

Carry the echo

Step by step,

Heart in tow

I move forward

With the echo
