🎤 Lyrics + Structure
⸻
[Verse 1]
G – D – Em – C
I’ve watched you hold the weight of the world,
Still manage a smile for the kids.
Through every high, every fall,
You showed me what real love is.
G – D – C – D
When I felt lost in my own skin,
You pulled me back again…
And if I didn’t say it loud enough,
Let me say it now, Liz, my friend:
⸻
[Chorus]
G – D – Em – C
It’s always been you, Liz,
The calm in my storm, the truth I hold on to.
G – D – C – D
Through the hardest nights and the sweetest days,
You gave me more than I ever knew.
Em – D – C – G
For the dreams we chase, the tears we face,
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do…
C – D – G
For the love of my life—
It’s always been you.
⸻
[Verse 2]
G – D – Em – C
I’ve made my share of wrong turns,
But you never turned your back.
You fought for us when I was blind,
And kept this whole house intact.
G – D – C – D
Now I see it so clear—
You were my purpose all along…
And the kids look up at you,
Like you’re their favorite song.
⸻
[Repeat Chorus]
⸻
[Bridge]
Em – D – C – G
If I never find the perfect words,
Let this melody be proof—
Em – D – C – D
That my heart beats stronger
Every time I think of you.
You’re the reason I believe,
In forever, and in truth…
⸻
[Final Chorus]
G – D – Em – C
‘Cause it’s always been you, Liz,
The mother of our children, the heart I never outgrew.
G – D – C – D
Through every fight, every vow,
I’d still say “I do.”
Em – D – C – G
For the love that lasts, through present and past—
I’d live it all brand new…
C – D – G
If it means I get to spend this life
With you.
⸻
[Outro]
C – D – G
Yeah, it’s always been you…
Liz, it always will be.
