All along I’ve been playing

[Verse 1

I’ve been tryin' to say it, but the words won’t come

Playin’ for you, but you still feel numb

Every note I strum holds love I can’t explain

But you seem to miss every sweet refrain

Am I playin' it wrong, or just too far away?

[Chorus

Is it me or the space between?

The silent whispers, the notes unseen?

I’ve been pourin’ out my heart, but you still don’t see

This melody is everything I want us to be

[Verse 2

I’ve been holdin’ on, hopin’ you’d feel

That every tune I play, for me, it's real

But maybe it’s lost in the noise of the crowd

Or maybe my love just ain’t loud enough now

[Chorus

Is it me or the space between?

The silent whispers, the notes unseen?

I’ve been pourin’ out my heart, but you still don’t see

This melody is everything I want us to be

[Bridge

I'll keep on strummin', even if you don’t know

Every string hums with the hope it'll show

That what I can’t say, these notes try to speak

But they just fall silent when it’s your heart I seek

[Outro

Yes, I’ve been sayin’

All along I’ve been playin’

But maybe, baby, you can’t hear

The song that’s meant to keep you near
