It Will Always Be You

I look into the past
seeing you for the first time
feeling my heart start to flutter

so much has happened now
i belong to someone else
i can't have you

i feel for him
but he's not you
he'll never be you

we never even gave it a chance
even though i know you cared
i know you still care

i can't pretend much longer
my feelings locked so deep inside
my lying words stinging the air

he's not the one i love
no matter how much i like him
he's just your replacement

i could never be truly happy
with anyone but you
to you i already gave my heart and soul

i don't know how much longer
i can keep on living this lie
i can't pretend i'm okay forever

what was meant to be so innocent
turned into so much more
than i could have ever expected

i can't sleep at night
for fear of dreaming of your warmth
and being held tight in your arms

the tears i say are for him
turn into tears for you
for what we've never had

you say that there's a chance
i hope to God you aren't just leading me on
because that chance might keep me from dying inside

i tell everyone it's him i love
that it's him i want to spend
the rest of my life with

but really it's you
it's always been you
it will always be you...
