Always There

Verse 1: [Soft guitar strumming with a slow build] She walks into the room, and my heart starts to race, But I’m just a shadow, lost in empty space. She’s got a smile that could chase away the night, But she doesn’t see me, standing in the dim light. [Echoed vocal harmony] She knows the way I feel, She knows my love is real. But I’ll be the friend who’s always there, Even when it’s more than I can bear. Chorus: [Power chords kick in] She knows I’ve always loved her, But I’m just a friend in her eyes, Even though I showed her all the signs, She was with someone else at the time. [Drums crash] I’m stuck in this place, Where my heart’s on the line, She knows I’ve always loved her, But she couldn’t be mine. Verse 2: [Melancholic guitar riff] I told her once, laid it all on the line, But her heart was taken, she couldn’t be mine. She had somebody else, and I stood by, Watching as he held her, while I tried not to cry. Then he turned away, left her broken and torn, And I was there, hoping she’d see my love reborn. [Echoing guitar solo] I’d love her for the reasons he never could, For the parts of her that he misunderstood. Chorus: [Full band with soaring harmonies] She knows I’ve always loved her, But I’m just a friend in her eyes, Even though I showed her all the signs, She was with someone else at the time. [Drums crash] I’m stuck in this place, Where my heart’s on the line, She knows I’ve always loved her, But she couldn’t be mine. Bridge: [Acoustic guitar and soft vocals] What if she never sees? What if she never hears? Will I just fade away, Consumed by all these fears? But I’d love her for the things he didn’t, For the parts of her that went unseen. She knows how deep it runs, But I’m afraid she’ll never lean on me. Chorus: [Power chords and harmonies return] She knows I’ve always loved her, But I’m just a friend in her eyes, Even though I showed her all the signs, She was with someone else at the time. [Drums crash] I’m stuck in this place, Where my heart’s on the line, She knows I’ve always loved her, But she couldn’t be mine. Outro: [Acoustic guitar fades out] Maybe one day she’ll see, What’s been here all along, But until that day comes, I’ll keep holding on. [Soft vocal harmonies] She knows I’ve always loved her, But maybe she’ll see someday, Until then, I’ll be waiting, For the words I long to say. [fade out] [end]
