“Always Been You”
(Emotional R&B love ballad — destiny, friendship, soulmate energy)
Verse 1
Funny how the world keep saying
“There’s no way this love brand new”
Cause every time they see us together
They swear I always belonged to you
But baby we were only friends
Years of laughing, years of life
Never crossed that line before
Now somehow you became my wife
And looking back I see the signs
Every road kept leading here
Like my soul already knew your name
Before I whispered it in your ear
Pre-Chorus
From day one
We were inseparable
Different hearts
But somehow identical
And every moment before this love
Was just time preparing us
Chorus
Maybe it was always you
Maybe heaven already knew
That every late-night conversation
Would turn into “I do”
Now you my wife
Love of my life
The safest place I’ve ever known
And if forever got a heartbeat
Baby, ours already found its home
They can say we loved before
Maybe souls remember more
Cause the way I need you now
Feels older than this life before
Verse 2
We built trust before desire
Built friendship before the flames
That’s why loving you feel different
Ain’t no games between our names
You know every side of me
The leader and the tired man
And still you hold me like I’m worthy
Like nobody else can
And I don’t fear forever now
Cause forever got your face
Even time can’t pull apart
What destiny already placed
Bridge
So if they ask how long I loved you
I don’t know what I should say
Cause my heart recognized you
Long before that wedding day
Maybe we were written down
Before this lifetime even started
Cause every version of my future
Still ends with us never parted
Final Chorus
Maybe it was always you
The dream I never knew was true
Now every road I walk in life
Feels like it was made for two
You my wife
Love of my life
And I put that over everything
Till my last breath
Till my last day
You gon’ always wear my ring
Forever ain’t enough time
But forever still gon’ be
You and me
You and me
Always inseparable
Always meant to be
