“Because I Had You” is the 9th track from Shawn Mendes' self-titled album & he said in an interview with Zane Low that it’s the last song that he wrote for it. Musically, it’s a ballad, with soft electric guitar notes and one of the most simple tracks he wrote.
In this song, Mendes talks about...
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
You're with somebody I can't be, yeah
But I can tell that you're happy
[Chorus]
It's time for me to finally meet somebody new
Take her to all the places that I took us to
And she might help me forget
But loving her is something I could never do
Because I had, because I had you
[Verse 2]
Hey, remember when I told you
That you and I, we'd go down in history together, yeah
And does your sister ask about me?
You and I, what we had, is it gone forever?
[Pre-Chorus]
You're with somebody I can't be
But I can tell that you're happy
[Chorus]
It's time for me to finally meet somebody new
Take her to all the places that I took us to
And she might help me forget but loving her is something I could never do
Because I had, because I had you
[Bridge]
There's nothin', oh
There's nothin' left to lose (ooh)
Because I had you, babe
There's nothin'
Nothin' that I could do (ooh)
I wish I had you
[Chorus]
But I think it's time I finally found somebody new
And tell myself that she's the one to get me through
And she might help me forget but loving her is something I just couldn't do
Because I had you
