[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
And our every moment, I start to replace
But 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 could've said
To make your heart beat better?
If only I'd known you had a storm to weather
So, before you go
Was there something I could've 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
And our every moment, I start to replay
And now all I 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 could've said
To make your heart beat better?
If only I'd known you had a storm to weather
So, before you go
Was there something I could've 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'd let my walls come down?
Maybe, I guess we'll never know
You know, you know
[Chorus]
Before you go
Was there something I could've said
To make your heart beat better?
If only I'd known you had a storm to weather
So, before you go
Was there something I could've said
To make it all stop hurting?
It kills me how your mind can make you feel so worthless
So, before you go
