Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the 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

Sing it again — final chorus

  • 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
theresomethingcould've
