LYRICS Static in the silence neon in the dark I'm alone in the lobby but you found my heart Is it true Are we comedy Are we tragedy Either way forever isn't guaranteed So tell me baby what are we Reality 'Cause I met a soul that felt like summer air You took my hand pulled me through the game And for a minute I forgot to be scared I don't wanna name it don't wanna fight it I just wanna keep what it gave me If the credits roll I'll still replay it like a scene that saved me This has been beautiful one of my best stories No perfect ending still you're a part of me In a world of avatars you chose the real in me Yeah you know it's you It's always been you Always been you Through the pixels through the blue Always been you Sometimes things don't work out it's nothing new Most nights it stings yeah it cuts right through But I still smile like I'm supposed to do Supposed to do Supposed to do Wanting what I can't have what a surprise I keep on making it harder all by myself Then I look in the mirror and ask why Why why why why why why Is it fate or is it habit Is it love or just the rush If it's a pattern I can break it But I don't wanna break us This has been beautiful one of my best stories No perfect ending still you're a part of me You're a part of me In a world of avatars you chose the real in me Yeah you know it's you You know it's you It's always been you If this is only code why does it feel like truth Truth truth I loved every minute even when it was awkward Even when we didn't know what to say You warned me I wouldn't like your music Then you laughed like you could take my pain away And that look through the video call Yeah that look is the one I can't forget So I breathe and I let it hurt gentle 'Cause I want you more than I ever said And I care more than you think I do More than you think I do So if the server shuts down if the lights go out If we lose the map I'll still find you now I'll memorize the way you made my world come true This has been beautiful my biggest story No perfect ending still you're a part of me You're a part of me And when the headset comes off you're still inside of me Yeah you know it's you You know it's you It's always been you Always been you Always been you Always been you Always been you Always been you I met an awesome human who wanted time with me Not just a username you saw the soul in me Now I'm wide open I'm braver I'm brand new Yeah you know it's you It's always been you Now it's time for closure but I need you to know My time with you changed me more than you'll ever know I grew I opened my heart again I can finally breathe in a world that's cold So thank you Yeah thank you 'Cause you were there when I broke through And I'm a new version of me because of you Always been you Always been you Always been you You you Always been you
