[Verse 1]
I ran away from heartbreak
Got nothin' in return for my pain
I never thought I'd be so empty, so alone, and afraid
Wasn't lookin' for a lover
Nobody understood, where I've been
I guess I thought I needed more time to protect my love from potential offenses
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
'Cause 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
