It’s Always You

[Verse 1]
Woke up in a room I don’t remember
Same four walls
Different view
Lipstick on a cup on the counter
But my head keeps finding you
Scrolling through the names on my phone now
Every ghost I ever knew
I could try to rewrite this story
Every ending bends to you
[Pre-Chorus]
I run to the noise
I run to the quiet
Change up the city
Change up the climate
Tell myself I’m over it
I’m lying
Every road
Same truth
[Chorus]
It’s always you
In the middle of the madness
Cutting through
Every shadow
Every habit that I move into
I could fall a thousand times
I still break through
To you
It’s always you
In the echo of a room I never meant to choose
Every almost
Every promise I undo
When the smoke clears
When the night is through
It’s always you
[Verse 2]
I can feel your name in the silence
Like a bruise beneath my skin
Every laugh in a crowded bar hits
Like the night we let you in
Tried to put your shirts in a suitcase
Left them folded on the floor
Guess I like the way that you haunt me
Like you never closed that door
[Pre-Chorus]
I run to the noise
I run to the quiet
New set of friends
Same kind of riot
Tell myself I’m healing but I hide it
Every line leads back to you
[Chorus]
It’s always you
In the middle of the madness
Cutting through
Every shadow
Every habit that I move into
I could fall a thousand times
I still break through
To you
It’s always you
In the echo of a room I never meant to choose
Every almost
Every promise I undo
When the smoke clears
When the night is through
It’s always you
[Bridge]
I don’t say your name out loud
But it’s carved in every vow I break
Every time I push love out
It’s your outline in the empty space
[Chorus]
It’s always you
In the middle of the madness
Cutting through
Every shadow
Every habit that I move into
I could fall a thousand times
I still break through
To you
It’s always you
In the echo of a room I never meant to choose
Every almost
Every promise I undo
When the smoke clears
When the night is through
It’s always you (always you)
It’s always you
