This Had to Be

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Yesterday, I set me free Or is it that you walked out on me? Too blind to see the truth that be The hurt's on you, walk carefully Open your ears if you cannot see To see the eyes look beautifully She took the car, but I hold the key To happiness, this one's for me [Pre-Chorus] I used to say this is eternal love, no ending I used to think this thing was real And now, I see that light has blinded my beginning You say that you my dear You're just a cheatin' heart [Chorus] This had to be to make you see That the truth, the truth is here to be I'm living my life, no more are we You're just a slap back in the face, even I could see And you took the car, but I hold the key To love and happiness that's just for me You are the night, so feel the heat You're just a slap back in the face, even I could see I'm living my life for me (Living my life for me, I'm living my life for me Living my life for me, I'm living my life for me) [Verse 2] This smiling heart burned so tenderly Now, don't believe everything you see Flower vases don't mean much to me When the heart's a thorn, it's the kind that be So look inside everything you see (Uh, huh) The truth's inside, look carefully She took the car, but I hold the key To happiness, that one's for me [Pre-Chorus] I used to say this is eternal love, no ending I used to think this thing was real And now, I see the light has blinded my beginning You said that you're my dear You're just a cheatin' heart [Chorus] This had to be to make you see That the truth, the truth is here to be I'm living my life, no more are we You're just a slap back in the face, even I could see I'm living my life for me (Living my life for me, I'm living my life for me Living my life for me, I'm living my life for me) [Bridge] Don't rescue me, this had to be This had to be, this had to be This had to be, this had to be This had to be, this had to be Don't rescue me, don't rescue me Don't rescue me, this had to be This had to be, this had to be This had to be, this had to be [Chorus] To make you see That the truth, the truth is here to be I'm living my life, no more are we You're just a slap back in the face, even I could see You took the car, but I hold the key To love and happiness that's meant for me You are the night, so feel the heat You're just a slap back in the face, even I could see (Ow!) [Outro] This had to be It's the truth, it's the truth that we This had to be
