Benson Boone first shared “To Love Someone” while performing it at his show in March 2023 in St. George, Utah. It was later teased on Benson’s TikTok on April 24, 2023. Benson has since performed it a few times on his tour, occasionally with one of his younger sisters, Claire Boone.
[Verse 1]
Brand-new apartment, we sat on the floor
A blow-up mattress and some plastic forks
Our clothes on the counter, keys in the door
You're all that I wanted, never been so sure
[Pre-Chorus]
Chances are
The future will take us places that we can't imagine yet
And chances are
Yours is the face I could never forget
[Chorus]
But suddenly nothing is the way that it was
Is this what it feels like to love someone?
Don't know what you had until it's gone
Is this what it feels like to love someonе?
Love someone, lovе someone
[Verse 2]
Empty apartment, I'm sat on the floor
A blow-up mattress and a plastic fork
Fighting the flashbacks that creep through the door
I stare at the ceiling and I try to ignore
[Pre-Chorus]
Chances are
We're gonna tell ourselves this is how it's supposed to be
And chances are
This isn't the last time I'll dance with your memory
[Chorus]
And suddenly nothing is the way that it was
Is this what it feels like to love someone?
Don't know what you had until it's gone
Is this what it feels like to love someone?
[Bridge]
Love someone, love someone
Maybe sweet, maybe strange
Maybe pain's the price you pay
To love someone, to love someone
[Outro]
And suddenly nothing is the way that it was
Is this what it feels like to love someone?
