‘Always’ is about missing somebody terribly.

‘'I think it’s a very global thing to just terribly miss somebody, whether somebody has passed away or you’ve broken up with somebody. That’s for me a genuine, ‘somebody has left your life’-kind of a song. And they’re always in your head. I wrote it because I made a mistake in my relationship. I had broken off with my girlfriend, who I’m now with. So it was a happy ending.’‘ – Gavin James in an interview with Nolala
