Always

(album: Cole - 2018)

I look at you and I wonder just how it happened
Cause... that type of beauty is a crime
And since you got so much of it, I gotta ask you like
How are you not doing any time?
I look at you and get this feeling like I ain't worthy
I know you don't do that on purpose
But you are made perfect
Ever since I met you I swear I ain't been the same person
You're such a stand-up woman
How aren't your legs hurting?
I know sometimes I come off to you as selfish
I can't help it, I'm just making sure your mind on no one else's
It's not my plan to ever disregard your feelings to piss you off
But you and I are different human beings
I get lost inside your eyes when I'm listening to you speaking
So I understand that when you're mad that isn't for no reason
But you save me from myself when I was swimming in the deep end
So without you in my life it's like I couldn't picture breathing

I know I say that I'll change thing
And I don't always
And that's nobody else's fault but mine
I know it's when I'm gone and I'm on the road always
But please believe you're always on my mind
I know we didn't have problems when we first started
And the things has gotten harder within time
But you're the one that I made for
So it takes more
That's the mountain that we both gotta climb

I know I say that I'll change thing
And I don't always
And that's nobody else's fault but mine
I know it's when I'm gone and I'm on the road always
But please believe you're always on my mind
I know we didn't have problems when we first started
And the things has gotten harder within time
But you're the one that I made for
So it takes more
That's the mountain that we both gotta climb

When we met all your relationships were on and off then
You told me about your exes, I promised you that I'm not as heartless
They all were toxic, you too smart and your body flawless
Some kind of Goddess
Who would off thought that you'd find an artist?
Sometimes I wish that I was better painting art
So I could recreate your beauty on the canvas after dark
But I'm getting off topic, so let's 'bout our problems
I got things to work on, so I ain't been so on top off
I promise if I make you a promise I always honor it
I'm confident that you the only reason I got confidence
I wrote this song and pretended we broke up and you're leaving me
As a reminder to me how much you mean to me
And even though that shit didn't go down
I could listen to this song when I'm mad to calm down
And think twice before I speak, analyze the situation
The first time we kissed that was my initiation
I swear

I know I say that I'll change thing
And I don't always
And that's nobody else's fault but mine
I know it's when I'm gone and I'm on the road always
But please believe you're always on my mind
I know we didn't have problems when we first started
And the things has gotten harder within time
But you're the one that I made for
So it takes more
That's the mountain that we both gotta climb

I know I say that I'll change thing
And I don't always
And that's nobody else's fault but mine
I know it's when I'm gone and I'm on the road always
But please believe you're always on my mind
I know we didn't have problems when we first started
And the things has gotten harder within time
But you're the one that I made for
So it takes more
That's the mountain that we both gotta climb
