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 I finally find somebody new
And tell myself that she s the one that get me through
And she might help me forget
that loving her is something I just couldn t do
Because I had you
