🎤 Lyrics + Structure

⸻

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:

⸻

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.

⸻

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.

⸻

⸻

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…

⸻

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.

⸻

C – D – G

Yeah, it’s always been you…

Liz, it always will be.
