Lyrics
[Intro – Soft guitar - Spoken vulnerable voice]
I’ve rehearsed this a thousand times
But the words never come out right
So listen, just this once tonight
[Verse 1]
You think I never noticed
How you light up every room
Laughing before the punchline
Singing when you think nobody hears you
I tried to find the perfect moment
A thousand ways to make it clear
But every time you looked my way
The words would disappear
[Pre-Chorus]
You saw me talking to somebody
And thought I’d turned my eyes away
But I was asking how to tell you
What I’ve been afraid to say
[Chorus]
It was always you
In every crowded room
Every unfinished melody
Every night beneath the moon
It was always you
Even when you never knew
I was looking for the courage
Just to say I’m falling for you
Don’t change your colors
Don’t hide your fire
You’re the one I can’t stop looking at
It was always you
[Verse 2]
I know you think she’s brighter
With her gentle, golden glow
And yes, she’s kind and lovely
But there’s something you should know
I love your reckless laughter
Your stubborn, fearless heart
The way you turn a quiet moment
Into fireworks and sparks
[Pre-Chorus]
I wasn’t trying to confuse you
I just froze when you were near
And every chance I had to tell you
Was another chance I’d fear
[Chorus]
It was always you
In every crowded room
Every unfinished melody
Every night beneath the moon
It was always you
Even when you never knew
I was looking for the courage
Just to say I’m falling for you
Don’t change your colors
Don’t hide your fire
You’re the one I can’t stop looking at
It was always you
[Bridge – Intimate]
You don’t have to speak more softly
Or become somebody new
I never wished for someone different
I was only wishing for you
If my silence made you doubt it
I’m sorry I took so long
I couldn’t find the words to say it
So I put them in this song
[Final Chorus – Soaring]
It was always you
And I’m finally telling you
No more hiding in the silence
No more hoping that you knew
Keep your colors
Keep your fire
You’re everything I admire
And if you ever doubt my heart
Remember where it always starts
[Outro – Whispered]
No perfect words
No grand excuse
Just me, the truth…
It was always you.
