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
[PreChorus]
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 have said to make your heart beat better?
If only I'd have known you had a storm to weather
So, before you go
Was there something I could have said to make it all stop hurting?
It kills me how your mind could make you feel so worthless
Oh, 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
[PreChorus]
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 have said to make your heart beat better?
If only I'd have known you had a storm to weather
So, before you go
Was there something I could have said to make it all stop hurting?
It kills me how your mind could make you feel so worthless
Oh, before you go
[Bridge]
Would we be better off by now
If I'd have 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 have said to make your heart beat better?
If only I'd have known you had a storm to weather
So, before you go
Was there something I could have said to make it all stop hurting?
It kills me how your mind could make you feel so worthless
Oh, before you go
