Always Been You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I feel like it's one-sided
Like some type of unrequited love
I keep it dark, I keep it quiet
But then you come around and light me up


[Pre-Chorus]
Usually, I ain't the type to stay up all damn night
Thinkin' 'bout someone else
It's hard to be fine when your heart's on the line

And the truth is I'm goin' through hell

[Chorus]
'Cause in my head
It's always been you

Heart in my hands
Hopeless 'cause no one can take it from you, you
I tried rewriting this hundreds of times
But if it ain't you, it's a lie

Yеah, in my head
It's always been you, you

[Verse 2]
I been trippin', I been slidin'
I'm underwater likе Poseidon
Takin' up space like a hyphen
You're on my mind and I can't fight it, yeah
Sick of playin' games with myself
Sick of playin' like there's someone else
[Chorus]
'Cause in my head
It's always been you

Heart in my hands
Hopeless 'cause no one can take it from you, you
I tried rewriting this hundreds of times
But if it ain't you, it's a lie

Yeah, in my head
It's always been you, you

[Outro]
Usually, I ain't the type to stay up all damn night
Thinkin' 'bout someone else
It's hard to be fine when your heart's on the line
And the truth is I'm goin' through hell

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
