Had to Be You by King Sis Lyrics

I ran away from heartbreak
Got nothing in return for my pain
I never thought I’d be so empty, so alone, and afraid
Wasn’t looking for a lover
Nobody understood where I’ve been
I guess I thought I needed more time to protect my love from potential offenses

So I (held it in)
Then you (came around)
And you (played it cool)
But I (shut it down)
So you (took your time)
And I (opened up)
I’m not surprised by what I found

Because I knew
I needed something different and
(It had to be you)
Out the blue
Somebody who would listen and
(It had to be you)
Out of all the people to revive my love
Couldn’t be just anyone
(Had to be you)
My baby it had to be you
I didn’t seem to notice
That you checking for me, we were just friends
But we started building trust and my fragile heart started to mend
I should’ve paid attention
You would’ve been the obvious choice
But I needed time to see clearly, dig deep, and cut through the noise

So I (held it in)
Then you (came around)
And you (played it cool)
But I (shut it down)
So you (took your time)
And I (opened up)
I’m not surprised by what I found

Cuz I knew
I needed something different and
(It had to be you)

Out the blue
Somebody who would listen and
(It had to be you)
Out of all the people to revive my love
Couldn’t be just anyone
(Had to be you)
My baby it had to be you
