[Verse 1]
It's a fairytale I can't explain
Full of words I don't know how to say
And without a little twist of fate
I know I'd still be searching, baby
I swear that you've been sent to save me
You're the only one that my heart keeps coming back to

[Chorus]
It's always been you, it's always been you
It's always been you, it's always been you
It's always been you

[Verse 2]
And you've seen all my darkest fears
Like you've known me for a thousand years
The boy who's really underneath
All the scars and insecurities, baby
I swear that you've been sent to save me
You're the only one that my heart keeps coming back to

[Chorus]
It's always been you, it's always been you
It's always been you, it's always been you
It's always been you
You're the only one that my heart keeps coming back to

[Outro]
It's always been you, yeah
It's always been you
You're the only one that my heart keeps coming back to
