Always Were lyrics

Do you regret driving away? Leaving me in the dust of the day Watching all the fumes dissipate Through tears that stung my face I worried so much that you would die Leaving feels like that for a child A hole so gaping, a heart so wide I didn’t know how I would survive And how is it that you work all things for good? When nothing, nothing in the world works as it should I can't speak, my hands - they shake Yet in your arms, you were keeping me safe Always were, always will be Always were, always will be I wrote to you so you wouldn’t forget Sealed my letters with lips of red Raised my voice to compete with the rest I didn't know how to be second best And how is it that you work all things for good? When nothing, nothing in the world works as it should I can't speak, my hands - they shake Yet in your arms, you were keeping me safe You knew me before I knew you You loved me before I loved you You held me, when I had nothing to give Gave me life, when I was dead Always were, always will be Always were, now and forever
