Always Been You (feat. Josh Makazo)
Chris Grey
The Eternal Flame of a Lost Love
The song "Always Been You (feat. Josh Makazo)" by Chris Grey is a poignant reflection on love, loss, and the enduring connection between two people. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and realization as the protagonist comes to terms with the fact that despite attempts to move on, their heart remains tethered to a past love. The opening lines set a scene of the singer driving through familiar streets, hinting at a journey not just in the physical sense but also an emotional one, as they are drawn back to someone who once felt like home.
As the song progresses, the lyrics delve into the struggle of trying to love again, only to find that all roads lead back to the same person. The chorus, with its simple yet powerful repetition of 'It’s always been you,' emphasizes the inescapable truth that no matter what happens, the singer's feelings have not changed. The phrase 'I got everything to lose' suggests a vulnerability and the high stakes involved in admitting these emotions, possibly after a period of separation or heartache.
The song's bridge, 'So I’ll try to make amends,' indicates a desire for reconciliation and a willingness to fight for the relationship. The repetition of 'Been you' at the end of the song serves as a haunting echo of the singer's unwavering devotion. The music likely complements the lyrics with a melancholic yet beautiful melody, reinforcing the theme of a love that refuses to be forgotten.
