[Verse 1]
It was something like distance
Something like fading away
It was nobody's business
No one else cared anyway
It was something like breaking
Something like falling apart
But without you there's nothing
To keep me from falling too far

[Chorus 1]
All those things that we wanted to say
Got left at the side of a road someplace
But it's always been you
It's always been you

[Verse 2]
Well nothing else mattered
Nothing else even came close
Even at our worst we carried it better than most

[Chorus 2]
All those things that we wanted to say
Got drowned in the river and just washed away
But it's always been you
It's always been you
[Bridge]
Put aside the cruel things
And goddamn the weddin' rings
Tell me it's always been me

[Chorus 3]
All those things that we wanted to say
Well give me a chance and I'll say them today
'Cause it's always been you
And it's always been you

[Outro]
It's the only thing I ever knew
And it's always been you
