Fighting For My Country

Dishonesty is the worst policy (Symphonic Mix).mp3

Lyrics By: Paulo Sergio Carvalho

The sun is setting, girl,
The night is so clear to me
As I look at you now, babe,
The dust settles in my mind.

Girl, if I never told you this,
I’ll say it now, no holding back
You’re the only one I’ve ever
Seen in color when the world turned black.

If you want me, just say the word,
I’ll drop it all and run to you.
I’m done with maybes, done with doubt
I just need to know the truth.

Girl, it’s always been you,
Even when I left, I still knew.
The love I tried to bury deep
Kept coming back every time I’d sleep.

Girl, it’s always been you,
No one else ever felt so true.
From day one to the end of time,
You’re the one I want beside mine.

I had to grow, I had to break,
To see what real love truly takes.
You stayed gold through all the storms,
Now I just want to keep you warm.

You’re the calm when I lose my grip,
The name I say when I let it slip.
It’s not a game, it’s not pretend
I want you now, not just as a friend.

So if there’s a chance, if there's a spark,
Let me hold your hand in the dark.
'Cause I swear on everything I’ve known
I’ve never felt this safe, this home.

Girl, it’s always been you,
Even when I smiled, I missed your truth.
The laughs I faked, the love I chased
None of them ever took your place.

Girl, it’s always been you,
No one else could do what you do.
You're the reason my heart beats loud
You're the girl I’ll say "forever" out loud.

So tell me now, don’t make me guess
Are we a no, or are we a yes?
'Cause I’ve got one shot, and I’m all in
Loving you feels like where I begin.

Girl, it’s always been you,
Even when the skies turned blue to gray,
I still saw your light every single day.
Girl, it’s always been you,

My heart never moved on, it stayed with you.
So if you’ll have me, say we’re two,
‘Cause girl… it’s always been you.
