lyrics

A bright start in a changed direction
wondering where I'll be heading
You can come along if you would let me in

I know I'm not the best at saying
how much of my heart you've taken
but my rhymes define the way I've taken to you

I've been changing
And I've been waiting to say
I've been thinking of you
And you've been patient
If I could only say this
It's always been you

I'm counting down the ways to phrase this
holding tight to empty pages
knowing well my truth will slip out one of these days

I'm trying not to reconsider
hoping for the best is bittersweet
but still I find myself where front steps meet

I've been changing
And I've been waiting to say
I've been thinking of you
And you've been patient
If I could only say this
It's always been you

I tell myself, I tell myself
Before I'm lost in something else
Well it's best you know
And if you choose if so you choose
to steal away with my truth
at least you knew

Well I've been changing
I promise you there's an explanation
Cause I'm still thinking of you
And you've been patient
Always waiting for the silence to break

Well I've been changing
No longer hesitating
Cause I'm still thinking of you
And you've been patient
If I could only say this
I can finally say this
I love you, I love you
It's always been you
