[Intro]
I love you
[Verse 1]
Oh your spirit still keeps me up
Drifted far too soon for me
So tell me how long I'm meant to keep this up?
Shout out how I find some peace
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh I, I still hurt every time I see you
Oh I fight the what-ifs but I know the truth
[Chorus]
You were gone before I knew you
You
You
You
[Verse 2]
There's never enough words to explain how
The emptiness you left on my front porch
When I opened the door I never expected to hear that
Oh Lord, tell mе why the good ones go so fast
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh I, I still hurt evеry time I see you
Oh I fight the what-ifs but I know the truth
[Chorus]
You were gone before I knew you
You
You
You
[Outro]
Oh your spirit still keeps me up
Drifted far too soon for me
You was written by Deyaz.
You was produced by Deyaz.
’You’ was written around the loss of a close friend. It was my way of channeling the grief & coming to terms with everything. It’s about the question marks that are left when someone passes & the unknown of what the rest of their story entails.
