Always You
Alex Feat. Thomas Cook Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I said I don't like spending money on moments that pas
But ironically memories are all that's been left
Shouldn't have let bad weather get in our way
Making memories, live out love I'll have regrets till the day
I die
Let me make things right
Give us a little more time
You were my light, you were my love

You were my greatest energizer
You made me whole, you saved my soul
You were my safe-doubt neutralizer
In the end
In the end you're always wiser
My comfort zone was a place I shouldn't have stayed in
And you tried, yea you tried your best to help me escape
In the end I should have set my priorities straight
Put you first, check on you, I'll have regrets till the day
I die
Let me make things right
Give us a little more time
You were my light, you were my love
You were my greatest energizer
You made me whole, you saved my soul
You were my safe-doubt neutralizer
In the end
You were my best part, my better half
You were my chaos organizer
You held me close when I'd lose control
You were my crises equalizer
In the end
In the end you're always wiser
I should have gone to bed with you
And not work until the morning
Now my heart is calling out
For you
You were my light, you were my love
You were my greatest energizer
You made me whole, you saved my soul
You were my safe-doubt neutralizer
In the end
You were my best part, my better half
You were my chaos organizer
You held me close when I'd lose control
You were my crises equalizer

In the end
In the end you're always wiser

Line by Line Meaning

If I should stay
If I choose to remain with you

Well, I would only be in your way
My presence would cause obstacles in your life

And so I'll go, but yet I know
I will depart but still feel connected to you

That I'll think of you each step of my way
You will be constantly on my mind even when I'm gone

And I will always love you
My love for you will never fade

I will always love you
I will always have affection towards you

Bitter-sweet memories
I have both happy and sad memories of us

That's all I have, and all I'm taking with me
Memories are the only things I can take with me as I leave

Good-bye, oh, please don't cry
Farewell, but please try not to weep

Cause we both know that I'm not
We are aware that I am not

What you need
The person you need in your life
