about

"Had To" is a song about acceptance of your current place in the world, despite the fact that perhaps in another
dimension things could have gone the way you had hoped. It’s the realization that your losses are lessons learned and any life shaping experience might have been the one you needed all along.

lyrics

I woulda never screamed
screamed for what I want
I woulda never knew
knew it wasn’t you
had to be you (x4)
had to want you
had to have you
had to know you
had to lose you
least I can count on you to not make any sudden moves (x2)
nobody slammed the door
the breeze blew it shut
nobody cut the ties
they fell by and by
had to happen (x4)
had to want you
had to have you
had to know you
had to lose you
least I can count on you to not make any sudden moves (x2)
it wouldn’t be any other way
not here anyway
