When you came at a dark time

I guess you didn't know

Maybe that's love, or maybe that's just life

You never came first

Me, him and her, and you in the back light

Can't imagine how it hurts

Tryna be a dad, like, tryna be the man, right?

Watching us fall, watching us cry, watching us conquer

Trying not to bleed, picking up the pieces left by a monster

So, how does it feel, giving it your all

But it's only getting harder?

Push away 'cause I don't need a father

Please stay 'cause I really need a father (Father, oh)

I remember the night that you came

Remember the way that it changed

Everything, all that you saved

Mama was never so brave

You made a home of our place

Together, you helped us escape

All of the love that you gave

All of the love you replaced

All of the loving that I never thought I'd embrace

It's always been you (It's always been you)

It's only been you (It's only been you)

It's always been you (It's always been you)

It's only been you (It's only been you)

It's always been you, it's always been you, it's always been you

So, as I've grown up

I see the man I am, I see the man he is, see a man I love

Based on one who doesn't even know he raised me up

I hope I can show, shot to the gut, drenched in the flood

When all is said and done

You'll always have my love

I know I'm not a part of you

But what's blood?

You love me in a way, that's deeper in these veins

Than blood could ever stain

And that's where you'll remain

Remember the night that you came?

Remember the way that it changed

Everything, all that you saved?

Mama was never so brave

You made a home of our place

Together, you helped us escape

All of the love that you gave

All of the love you replaced

All of the loving that I never thought I'd embrace

It's always been you (It's always been you)

It's only been you (It's only been you)

It's always been you (It's always been you)

It's only been you (It's only been you)

It's always been you, it's always been you

Always been you

Whenever I'm lost, whenever I'm down and I'm needing

Whenever I'm crying, whenever I'm broke and on my knees, and

Whenever I'm hurt, whenever I'm scared and I'm bleeding

It's always been you, it's always been you, it's always been you

Whenever I'm fighting, whenever I'm a fool and I'm needing

Whenever the night takes me back and I'm weeping

Whenever I'm cautious, too much of a demon

It's always been you, it's always been you, it's always been you
