(Verse1)
Wish I had saw the signs
Wish I heard you pleading for me
You was Crying out for love
And wasn’t getting what you needed from me
Said it was the way I talked
Said it was all the things I never said
Felt like you was being left out
And that it was nights you cried yourself to bed
You wanted reassurance, I gave you silence
Said I loved you, but my actions stayed private
I know you felt invisible with me
Like every tear fell silently
I wish I was true to my feelings
Instead of fighting what’s inside of me
[Chorus]
You thought I wanted my ex
Thought my heart was still there
But it was always you
Only you
I swear
All the roads I walked
Were just leading me to you
You thought I wanted my past
Baby
That was never true
It was always you
Only you
(Verse 2)
I watched you read that message
Saw your eyes go cold
You handed back my sweater
Like you were letting go
You said
"I hope she's happy
Guess you two found your way"
I tried to speak
My throat just closed
And you just walked away
I still replay that evening
Every word I didn't say
Your picture on my dashboard
I can't throw it away
You saw a ghost beside me
Shadows on the wall
But I was reaching for your hand
And you never felt it at all
[Chorus]
You thought I wanted my ex
Thought my heart was still there
But it was always you
Only you
I swear
All the roads I walked
Were just leading me to you
You thought I wanted my past
Baby
That was never true
It was always you
Only you
[Bridge]
Maybe I text too late
Maybe I overthink
You read a line in fear
I drowned in what you think
If I could turn that night around
I'd say it clear
I'd say it loud
"I don't want her
I want you now"
(only you, only you)
[Chorus]
You thought I wanted my ex
Thought my heart was still there
But it was always you
Only you
I swear
Every broken piece
Still fits the shape of you
You thought I wanted my past
Baby
That was never true
It was always you
Only you
Only you
