Shawn Mendes - Always Been You Lyrics

Shawn Mendes Lyrics

"Always Been You"

It's a fairy tale 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

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

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

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

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

"Always Been You" is about the evolution of Shawn Mendes' romance with Camila Cabello.

A demo of this song can be heard in in Shawn Mendes' 2020 documentary "Shawn Mendes: In Wonder" where he told Camila Cabello that all of his songs have been about her.

The chorus of this song emulates Frankie Valli's "Can't Take My Eyes Off You".

Shawn Mendes said of "Always Been You", "I wrote this in the green room the other day. No lyrics. […] I wanna write a song that's like orchestra in heaven with massive drums and it goes [makes buzzing drum sound] and then really quiet, my vocal just goes 'It's always been you, it's always been you.'"
