​listen before i go Lyrics

Take me to the rooftop
I wanna see the world when I stop breathing
Turnin' blue (oh)
Tell me love is endless, don't be so pretentious
Leave me like you do (like you do)

If you need me, wanna see me
Better hurry 'cause I'm leavin' soon

Sorry can't save me now
Sorry I don't know how
Sorry there's no way out (sorry)
But down
Hmm, down

Taste me, the salty tears on my cheek
That's what a year-long headache does to you
I'm not okay, I feel so scattered
Don't say I'm all that matters
Leave me, déjà vu

If you need me, wanna see me
You better hurry, I'm leavin' soon

Sorry can't save me now (sorry)
Sorry I don't know how (sorry)
Sorry there's no way out (sorry)
But down
Hmm, down
Call my friends and tell them that I love them
And I'll miss them
But I'm not sorry
Call my friends and tell them that I love them
And I'll miss them
Sorry

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part

this song as a major meaning for me. i was in depression in 2015, when i write Unravel. i was expressing my depression and my feelings from it. this song talk about someone with depression and he/she decided to write a suicidal letter (testament) saying that if you wanna say something, then say it now, cuz' soon it will be late.. also, this song was a inspiration for my single play this song when i die.

when i first listen to this song, i was in loop mode because there’s too much to say about depression, if you never hear it before, then go and listen, you’ll know the feeling that the song transmits. then i dont know why but i write a comment about this song (here on Genius and on YouTube). saying “please, put this song when i die”. and i was so inspired that i created the saddest shitty song that i created play this song when i die.
