Before You Go by Lewis Capaldi

The song is about regret over the end of a relationship and longing to have said or done something differently to prevent the person's departure. In three verses, the singer expresses hurt over not realizing their ex partner was struggling ("had a storm to weather") and wonders if they could have said or done something to ease their pain or make their heart feel better. The chorus reflects on wishing they had known what the person was feeling inside and hoping there was something they could have said or done to stop the hurt before the person left.
