It’s Always Been Me

Verse 1

Now we’re just strangers, in a world full of hate

Feels like our love just slipped through the gate

No reason I can see, no storm we couldn’t face

But here we are runnin’, like we’ve lost our place

Pre-Chorus

We should be home, holdin’ tight every night

Not driftin’ apart, not givin’ up the fight

Chorus

Why can’t you stay? Why’s it gotta be this way?

Why run when you know it’s me, it’s always been me

To heal your tragedy, to hold your broken dreams

We’re losin’ everything, baby, don’t you see?

It’s always been me

Verse 2

I still remember your touch in the dark

The way you lit up that cold, empty spark

But now your shadow’s all I see in the light

And your footsteps fade deeper into the night

Pre-Chorus

We should be dancin’ in the kitchen slow

Not watchin’ each other just turn and go

Chorus

Why can’t you stay? Why’s it gotta be this way?

Why run when you know it’s me, it’s always been me

To heal your tragedy, to hold your broken dreams

We’re losin’ everything, baby, don’t you see?

It’s always been me

Bridge

Maybe the road got rough

Maybe the fight got tough

But I’d walk through the fire for you

If you’d just believe in us

Chorus (repeat, more intensity)

Why can’t you stay? Why’s it gotta be this way?

Why run when you know it’s me, it’s always been me

To heal your tragedy, to hold your broken dreams

We’re losin’ everything, baby, don’t you see?

It’s always been me

Outro

Now we’re strangers, but I still pray

That one day you’ll turn ‘round, and find your way

Back to me… ‘cause it’s always been me
