Ben Platt - Everything I Did To Get To You Lyrics

Ben Platt Lyrics

"Everything I Did To Get To You"
(from "Songland")

I'll admit the fact that I
Settled for somebody
Just to fight the lonely
Put myself out on the line
Tried to change the old me
Changing almost broke me

Been the life of the party
Done the worst I could do
Chasing love
That was pointless
'Til it pointed me to you

All the hearts I ever held
Just held me back
I've been bruised and burned
But somehow I'm intact
All the times I thought I might've reached the end
I'd do it all again

Everything I did to get to you
(Everything, everything)
Everything I did to get to you
(Everything, everything)

On the road to where we are
I think I might've lost me
Somewhere in the city
But you saw me from the start
You see the world that I see
And you don't try to fix me

Been the life of the party
Done the worst I could do
Chasing love
That was pointless
'Til it pointed me to you

All the hearts I ever held
Just held me back
I've been bruised and burned
But somehow I'm intact
All the times I thought I might've
Reached the end
I'd do it all again

Everything I did to get to you
(Everything, everything)
Everything I did to get to you
(Everything, everything)
Everything I did to get to you baby
(Everything, everything)
(Everything, everything)

On the road to where we are
I think I might've lost me
Somewhere in the city

All the hearts I ever held
Just held me back
I've been bruised and burned
But somehow I'm intact
All the times I thought I might've reached the end
I'd do it all again

Everything I did to get to you
(Everything, everything)
Everything I did to get to you
(Everything, everything)
Everything I did for you

I did for you

"Everything I Did to Get to You (from Songland)" was re-worked from "Everything it Took to Get to You" presented by David Davis during a Songland's episode aired on the 8th of June 2020. Ryan Tedder (OneRepublic) helped tweak the song and Ben Platt, being a musical guest on the episode, chose the song as a winner.

Ben Platt told about this song, "I feel like, particularly in relationships, I've gotten to a lot of crossroads where things that you've been holding on to that have all this negative connotation, you slowly realize, like, one at a time, like, why they were necessary and why they happened. So that resonates for sure."
