Always Been You” โ the song performed by Mattie Pruitt during the Top 8 round of American Idol 2025:
โAlways Been Youโ
Two freckles on your neck
Too close to photograph but
One thousand words wouldn’t do
It’s like a heart attack
Tense up before the crash, yeah
Too fast to know what to do
Yeah, it’s always been you
Eating breakfast at noon
Went and dyed your hair blue
Yeah, it’s always been you
You never hesitate
To find the words to say
You call it how you see it
That’s my favorite thing about you
It’s hurting my chest
When you’re not up against it
The hardest part of loving you is leaving
Cause it’s always been you
Getting friendship tattoos
You get so mad when you lose, yeah
I know you always come through
Yeah, it’s always been you
Kissing me without warning
You are the rain and it’s pouring down on me
I feel it soak through my shoes
Yeah, it’s always been you
Always been you
Always, always been you
Oh, it’s always been you
(It’s always, always you)
(Always)
(Always, always been you)
(Always)
(Always, always been you)
(Pouring down on me)
(Always, always been you)
