Words scribbled down on paper
But it's not that simple
It's hard to say just how I feel
A melody playing in my head
Of all the things I wished I'd said
Wished I had said
Oh, all the nights are long
I left you laying in that bed
Doubts in your head

Well, I need you to know
Then all alone in this airplane
Was not in vain, oh

You are in every lyric
You are in every chord
You're the only reason
The one I'm singing for
You are my only anthem
You are the greatest score
You're my inspiration
The one I'm singing for

I'd give anything
To see the things I've missed (I've missed)
Her first words, first steps, first love
And her first kiss
And that melody, still playing in my head
It hurts so bad sometimes
But that's the way it is

And all I need to know
That all alone in this airplane
Was not in vain, oh

You are in every lyric
You are in every chord
You're the only reason
The one I'm singing for
You are my only anthem
You are the greatest score
You're my inspiration
The one I'm singing for

Oh, and I wanna let you know
I am an endless spring
You gotta know I'll flow forever
And I will always sing
As long as we can stay together

You are in every lyric
You are in every chord
You're the only reason
The one I'm singing for
You are my only anthem
You are the greatest score
You're my inspiration
The one I'm singing for
You are, you are
Oh, you are, you are
You are, you are
The one I'm singing for
You are, you are
You are, you are
You are, you are
The one I'm singing
The one I'm singing for
