Verse 1 I’ve been a runaway heart, Chasing shadows in the neon rain. Every barroom band and backstreet plan Was just a way to outrun your name. But the truth kept burning slow, Like a match I couldn’t throw. And every road I took just led me back To the place I didn’t wanna go.Chorus It was always you — In the quiet, in the wreckage, in the midnight blue. Every song I tried to sing Turned into your tune. I was lost in the noise, But the echo cut through. Baby, every mile, every mistake… It was always you.Verse 2 I wore pride like armor, But it cracked when the nights got long. Tried drowning your memory in whiskey and melody, But you rise in every sad‑man song. And I swear I heard your voice In the hum of that old jukebox. Soft as a ghost, sharp as a truth, Pulling me back to what I lost.Chorus It was always you — In the quiet, in the wreckage, in the midnight blue. Every song I tried to sing Turned into your tune. I was lost in the noise, But the echo cut through. Baby, every mile, every mistake… It was always you.Bridge I ain’t asking for forgiveness, Just a chance to stand in the light. If loving you is a long‑shot blues, I’ll play it every night. Because the heart don’t lie, And mine’s been calling your name Like a prayer in the smoke, Like a spark in the flame.Final Chorus It was always you — No matter how far I ran, that truth stayed true. Every broken road I walked Led me back to you. I was lost in the noise, But the echo cut through. Baby, every mile, every mistake… It was always you.
