Always Be Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Could've been a night like any other
One of us has to drive
One of us gets to think
I'll force a laugh to break the silence
It's gonna get harder still
Before it gets easy
You can't keep safe what wants to break

[Chorus]
I'm alone in this
I'm as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's all lost in this
She's all like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach

[Verse 2]
I was just a boy like every other
I thought I was something fierce
I thought I was ten times smarter
Love would be something that I'd just know
(Something I'd just know)
How you gonna know the feeling 'til you've lost it
I've been losing plenty since
[Chorus]
I'm alone in this
I'm as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's all lost in this
She's all like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach

[Bridge]
Maybe something else I'm missing
Something good and you're the reason
It's a dream but there's a real world waiting

[Chorus][x2]
I'm alone in this
I'm as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's all lost in this
She's all like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
