always been me lyrics

[Verse 1]
You call me up, tell me all about him
Say you don’t know if you’ll ever love again
And I just listen, yeah, I play the role
Of the guy you trust, but don’t really know

[Pre-Chorus]
He’s out there breaking your heart in two
While I’m the one who’s always here for you
One day you’ll wake up and finally see
Everything you need has been right here in me

[Chorus]
If you knew who really loves you
Who’s been here the whole way through
Maybe you’d finally see
That it’s always been me

[Verse 2]
We drive around when you gotta clear your head
Laughing at nothing, but I’m holding back instead
‘Cause you don’t know that every time you smile
I fall a little more, but I’ve been hiding it a while

[Pre-Chorus]
He’s out there breaking your heart in two
While I’m the one who’s always here for you
One day you’ll wake up and finally see
Everything you need has been right here in me
[Chorus]
If you knew who really loves you
Who’s been here the whole way through
Maybe you’d finally see
That it’s always been me
Through the heartbreaks and the letdowns
Still the one who sticks around
Maybe you’d finally see
That it’s always been me

[Bridge]
I know your favorite songs, your dreams, your fears
I know the way you hold back your tears
I’ve been the shoulder you lean on for years
But you don’t see me standing here

[Chorus]
If you knew who really loves you
Who’s been here the whole way through
Maybe you’d finally see
That it’s always been me
Through the heartbreaks and the letdowns
Still the one who sticks around
Maybe you’d finally see
That it’s always been me
