I Was Always Here

[Verse 1] I saw lost in your ways Dark shadows on your skin You were looking past me While I stayed close within [Pre-Chorus] I was the voice in the void The feeling you couldn’t explain [Chorus] I was always here Like smoke in the air Like a song you remember But never knew was there Every glance, every moment Every passing year You were never alone I was always here You just never knew my name [Drop] [ambient synths, emotional electronic beat] Oh-oh (oh-oh) I was always here (I was always here) Oh-oh (oh-oh) Closer than your fear (closer than your fear) [Verse 2] Rain falling on the pavement Your reflection next to mine I stayed inside the background Waiting for the right time [Pre-Chorus] I was the ache in the memory The calm inside the pain [Chorus] I was always here Like light through the dark Like a dream that stays with you Long after it falls apart Every tear, every heartbeat Every passing year You were never alone I was always here You just never knew my name [Bridge] No more hiding in the shadows No more fading with the night If you look beside him now You’ll finally see the light [huge emotional synths, echoing vocals, rain ambience returning] Always here Always near Even when you couldn’t see me Always here Through the years Standing where I’ve always been [Final Chorus] I was always here In every quiet room In every late-night feeling Every moment filled with light Like a voice beside everyday Like a memory crystal clear You can finally say my name And know that I was here I was always here... [Drop] [bigger drums, layered vocals, cinematic synths] Oh-oh (oh-oh) Can you see me now? (can you see me now) Oh-oh (oh-oh) I’m not fading out (I’m not fading out)
