Before You Go Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I fell by the wayside like everyone else
I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, but I was just kidding myself
Our every moment, I start to replace
'Cause now that they're gone, all I hear are the words that I needed to say
[Pre-Chorus]
When you hurt under the surface
Like troubled water running cold
Well, time can heal, but this won't
[Chorus]
So before you go
Was there something I coulda said to make your heart beat better?
If only I'da known you had a storm to weather
So before you go
Was there something I coulda said to make it all stop hurting?
It kills me how your mind can make you feel so worthless
So before you go
[Verse 2]
Was never the right time whenever you called
Went little by little by little until there was nothing at all
Our every moment, I start to replay
But all I can think about is seeing that look on your face
[Pre-Chorus]
When you hurt under the surface
Like troubled water running cold
Well, time can heal, but this won't
[Chorus]
So before you go
Was there something I coulda said to make your heart beat better?
If only I'da known you had a storm to weather
So before you go
Was there something I coulda said to make it all stop hurting?
It kills me how your mind can make you feel so worthless
So before you go
[Bridge]
Would we be better off by now
If I'da let my walls come down?
Maybe, I guess we'll never know
You know, you know
[Chorus]
Before you go
Was there something I coulda said to make your heart beat better?
If only I'da known you had a storm to weather
So before you go
Was there something I coulda said to make it all stop hurting?
It kills me how your mind can make you feel so worthless
So before you go

What inspired the song?
I think we were coming to the end of recording this album, or the album it ended up being on, the deluxe version of, and it was weird. I’d written every song I wanted to write for the album. The album in its natural form is a breakup album, not really about much else other than that and stuff. So fo...
What was the songwriting process like?
When you’re writing so directly about a death in a family or whatever, it can be quite a jarring thing and stuff for some people that listen to it and stuff like that. I’ll speak quite candidly about it and stuff and whatever, but I think obviously for some people, it can bring up their own feelings...
