"love somebody" lyrics

Two weeks from my 21st birthday I
Met a girl making coffee at a cafe
Spent every night together after the first date
My world in her hands

I remember getting called from my best friend
Said he saw her out in the back of a black Benz
Making out with some guy with an accent and
Ever since then

I kept my heart under lock and key
Out on an island out of arms reach
'Cause if nobody's close nobody can hurt me

I never knew that I could love somebody
Until I loved somebody
I never knew that I could love somebody
Until I loved somebody

You came in like a medic on a crime scene
Like the warm sun when you wake up from a bad dream
So soft and so sweet I was unprepared

I kept my heart under lock and chain
But you found a way in that I can't explain
Feels like the first time that I can honestly say

I never knew that I could love somebody
Until I loved somebody
I never knew that I could love somebody
Until I loved somebody

Somebody like you
Somebody like you
Somebody like you
Somebody like you

I was a lost soul tainted by the hand of someone
Who tore my heart into pieces in the name of love
Until you came along and picked them up one by one
Again and again and again

I never knew that I could love somebody
Until I loved somebody
I never knew that I could love somebody
Until I loved somebody
