"After All These Years"

[Verse 1] I still remember how you used to be there for me Whenever I was lost, you’d help me find my way We didn’t talk every day, but when we did You always made me feel like I wasn’t alone in this Years went by and we both went our separate ways But you never really left my heart, even on the hardest days I wondered if you were happy, if life was being kind And if somewhere deep down, you ever thought of me too [Chorus] After all these years… it’s still you My heart never stopped feeling what it always knew I tried to move on, I tried to let go But you were the one my soul wouldn’t let go You mean more to me than words could ever say And I’m scared, but I’m saying it anyway After all these years… it’s always been you [Verse 2] Now here we are, talking like time never passed And all those old feelings are coming back so fast I sent you that song because I didn’t know what else to do It was the only way I knew how to say “I still feel you” You don’t have to say anything back, I just needed you to know That after all this time, you still make my heart beat slow I’m not asking for forever, I’m just being real with you You’ve always had a piece of me… and I think you always will [Chorus] After all these years… it’s still you My heart never stopped feeling what it always knew I tried to move on, I tried to let go But you were the one my soul wouldn’t let go You mean more to me than words could ever say And I’m scared, but I’m saying it anyway After all these years… it’s always been you [Bridge] Maybe this is crazy, maybe I’m too late But I’d rather be honest than keep carrying this weight You were my soft spot, my quiet what-if And I’m finally ready to let you feel it [Final Chorus – very soft & emotional] After all these years… it’s still you My heart never left, it stayed right where it knew You mean everything, even if you don’t feel the same I just needed you to know… you were never just a name After all these years… It’s always been you…
