The song expresses regret over a lost relationship and longing to have said or done something to prevent the person from leaving or to make them feel better. The singer replays past interactions and wishes they had known the depth of the other person's pain, so they could have said or done something to help with the "storm" in their mind that made them feel worthless. The singer is left wondering if being more open could have changed things for the better between them.

I fell by the wayside, like everyone else Before you go
I hate you, I hate you, I hate you Was there something I could've said But I was just kidding myself To make your heart beat better? Our every moment, I start to replace If only I'd have known you had a storm to 'Cause now that they're gone weather All I hear are the words that I needed to say So, before you go Was there something I could've said When you hurt under the surface To make it all stop hurting? Like troubled water running cold It kills me how your mind can make you feel Well, time can heal but this won't so worthless So, before you go 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
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
When you hurt under the surface
Like troubled water running cold Well, time can heal but this won't
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
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
