When he came out a dark time I guess he didn't know Maybe that's love Or maybe that's just life But 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 you away 'cause I don't need a father Please stay 'cause I really need a father 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 the 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 only 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 his, see the man I love Based on one who doesn't even know he raised me up I hope I can show, shot to the God, 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? Your loved in a way that's deeper in these veins Than blood could ever stain And that's where you 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 the 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 only 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 Whenever I'm lost, whenever I'm down and I'm kneeling 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 frightened, whenever I'm a fool and I'm kneeling Whenever the night takes me back and I'm weeping Whenever I'm cross, it's too much with the demons It's always been you, it's always been you, it's always been you
