Song 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 could’ve 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’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


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 could’ve 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’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 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’ve 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’ve said


To make it all stop hurting?


It kills me how your mind can make you feel so worthless


So, before you go

As his breakthrough single “Someone You Loved” spends a third week at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, Lewis Capaldi has released a new single, “Before You Go,” from the new extended edition of his debut album.   While the lyrics sound like they could be about a breakup, Lewis says the song is about something much more serious — something his family has personally been affected by.

Speaking to Apple Music’s Beats 1, Lewis revealed, “It’s about suicide…not necessarily the act of it, but, like, after it happens, the aftermath of it. And…people kind of blaming themselves or starting to think, you know, ‘What could I have done to kinda help that person?’ or whatever.”




In the song, Lewis sings, “Before you go/Was there something I could’ve said/to make your heart beat better?/If only I’d’ve known you had a storm to weather/So, before you go/Was there something I could’ve said/To make it all stop hurting?”

As Lewis explained, he wrote the song based on something that happened in his own family.

“When I was five or six…my aunt committed suicide and I just remember recently speaking to my mom about her feelings,” he said. “About going through that sort of rigmarole in your head of like, you know, “What could I have done here? Could I have done anything?”

“She said at first you’re angry. You kinda get angry at them. And then you get angry at yourself…she said it was a very, very strange [emotional] arc.”

The extended edition of Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent is out this Friday.  Meanwhile, look for Lewis’ name to be called at least a couple times this morning when Grammy nominations are announced.

[Verso 1]


Me caí en el camino como todos los demás


Te odio, te odio, te odio pero sólo estaba bromeando


Empiezo a reemplazar cada momento nuestro


Porque ahora que se han ido, todo lo que escucho son las palabras que necesitaba decir

[Pre-Coro]


Cuando te duele en el interior


Como agua turbulenta enfriándose


Bueno, el tiempo lo puede sanar pero esto no lo hará

[Coro]


Así que, antes de que te vayas


¿Había algo que podría haber dicho


Para hacer latir mejor tu corazón?


Si tan sólo hubiera sabido que tenías la tormenta para alcanzar la calma


Así que, antes de que te vayas


¿Había algo que podría haber dicho


Para que todo deje de doler?


Me mata cómo tu mente puede hacerte sentir tan inútil


Así que, antes de que te vayas

[Verso 2]


Nunca fue el momento adecuado, cada vez que llamabas


Fue poco a poco hasta que no hubo nada


Empiezo a reproducir cada momento nuestro


Pero todo lo que puedo pensar es en ver esa mirada en tu cara

[Pre-Coro]


Cuando te duele en el interior


Como agua turbulenta enfriándose


Bueno, el tiempo lo puede sanar pero esto no lo hará

[Coro]


Así que, antes de que te vayas


¿Había algo que podría haber dicho


Para hacer latir mejor tu corazón?


Si tan sólo hubiera sabido que tenías la tormenta para alcanzar la calma


Así que, antes de que te vayas


¿Había algo que podría haber dicho


Para que todo deje de doler?


Me mata cómo tu mente puede hacerte sentir tan inútil


Así que, antes de que te vayas

[Puente]


¿Estaríamos mejor ahora


Si hubiese dejado caer mis paredes?


Tal vez; supongo que nunca lo sabremos


Ya lo sabes, ya lo sabes

[Coro]


Así que, antes de que te vayas


¿Había algo que podría haber dicho


Para hacer latir mejor tu corazón?


Si tan sólo hubiera sabido que tenías la tormenta para alcanzar la calma


Así que, antes de que te vayas


¿Había algo que podría haber dicho


Para que todo deje de doler?


Me mata cómo tu mente puede hacerte sentir tan inútil


Así que, antes de que te vayas

[Intro]


What they say?

The world


(Tay Keith, fuck these niggas up)

[Verse 1]


You make me happy


This you can bet, yeah


It’s clear right beside me, yeah


And I won’t forget

And I really love you


You should know


I wanna make sure I’m right, boy


Before I let go

Now, we had our good times


That we can say


We hurted each other, yeah


And, boy, it’s a shame

I won’t be foolish, no


I wanna know


I wanna make sure I’m bright, boy


Before I let go


Yeah, uh, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]


You know, I thank God sun rises and shines on you


You know there’s nothing, nothin’, nothin’ I would not do, oh


Before I let you go, woah


I would never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never


Let you go before I go

[Verse 2]


I pull up to Coachella (Pull up)


In boots with the goose feathers (Pull up)


I brought the squad with me (I got the squad)


Black on black bandanas, I (I got the squad)

Dussé and Champagne (Champagne)


I did the damn thing (I did the damn thing)


Dirty Diana (Dirty Diana)


Singin’ and dancin’ all in the rain (Woo)


Ooh (To the left)

I just wanna have a good time (Turn around)


Turn around, kick, then slide


And twirl that ass to the right, now


Ooh, bunny hop, bunny hop, drop, pop

Cross your legs, turn around and clap


Shuffle to the left, let’s glide now


Ooh, drop it down, drop it down low, low


Low, low, low to the floor, floor

Bring it up, clap, then roll, roll


Step on ’em, step on ’em, step on ’em, step


Step on ’em, kick on ’em, stomp, then you step


Swag the right, surf the left


Work the middle ’til it hurt a little

[Outro]


(Oh, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, oh)


Before I let, before I let, b-b-before I let go


(Oh, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, oh)


Before I let, before I let, b-b-before I let go
