It’s Always Been You

We were just kids chasing lightning in the yard

Laughed at forever like it wasn’t very far

I locked my feelings in between those summer days

Too scared to tell you — too scared to watch you fade (watch you fade…)

But now I see you standing there in someone else’s light

And it burns me quietly from the inside

’Cause it’s always been you (always you…)

Every beat in my chest — every dream I held onto (held onto…)

I stayed silent all these years

Thinking love would wait for me

But now you’re almost gone for good

And I’m begging destiny — don't shut the door on me (on me…)

You used to trace galaxies on the back of my hands

Said we’d never lose each other — now I barely understand

How I let the world convince me I wasn’t what you’d choose

Now the truth is aching in me like an old unused fuse (unused fuse…)

I don’t want to wreck your plans

But I can’t watch you wear that ring without giving love a chance

’Cause it’s always been you (always you…)

Every beat in my chest — every dream I held onto (held onto…)

I stayed silent all these years

Thinking love would wait for me

But now you’re almost gone for good

And I’m begging destiny — don't shut the door on me (don’t shut it…)

If I’m too late, I’ll walk away

But please just hear me say… (hear me say…)

I loved you then

I love you now

And I always will somehow (always will…)

’Cause it’s always been you

Every beat in my chest — every dream I held onto

I stayed silent all these years

Thinking love would wait for me

But now you’re almost gone for good

So I’m on my knees to fate — don’t shut the door on me (on me… on me…)

It’s always been you…

Always you…
