Because I Had You

SHAWN MENDES

I think it's time that I be honest

Should've told you not to go

Thought I knew just what I wanted

I didn't know myself at all

You're with somebody I can't be, yeah

But I can tell that you're happy

It's time for me to finally meet somebody new

Take her to all the places that I took us too

And she might help me forget that loving her is something I could never do

Because I had

Because I had you

Hey, remember when I told you

That you and I will go down in history together, yeah

And does your sister ask about me?

You and I, what we had, is it gone forever?

You're with somebody I can't be

But I can tell that you're happy

It's time for me to finally meet somebody new

Take her to all the places that I took us too

And she might help me forget that loving her is something I could never do

Because I had

Because I had you

There's nothin', oh

There's nothin' left to lose

Because I had you, babe

There's nothin'

Nothin' that I could do

I wish I had you

But I think it's time for me to finally meet somebody new

And tell myself that she's the one that got me through

And she might help me forget that loving her is something I could never do

Because I had you
