Words
*Skylar Grey Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Always in a rush
Never stay on the phone
Long enough
Why am I so self important?

Said I'd see you soon
But that was, oh,
Maybe a year ago

Didn't know time
Was of the essence

So many questions
But I'm talking to myself
I know that you can't hear me
Anymore, not anymore

So much to tell you
And most of all goodbye
But I know that you can't hear me
Anymore

It's so loud inside my head
With words that I
Should have said
And as I drown in my regrets
I can't take back
The words I never said

Always talkin shit
Took your advice
And did the opposite
Just being young and stupid

Oh
I haven't been all that you
Could have hoped for
But I you held on
A little longer
You'd have had more reasons
To be proud

Oh
So many questions
But I'm talking to myself
I know that you can't hear me
Anymore, not anymore
So much to tell you
And most of all goodbye
But I know that you can't hear me
Anymore

It's so loud inside my head
With words that I
Should have said
And as I drown in my regrets
I can't take back
The words I never said

The longer I stand here
The louder the silence
I know that your gone
But sometimes I swear
That I hear
Your voice when the wind blows
So I talk to the shadows
Hoping you might be listening
'Cause I want you to know

It's so loud inside my head
With words that I
Should have said
And as I drown in my regrets

I can't take back
The words I never said

Overall Meaning

In "Words" by Skylar Grey, the singer reflects on missed opportunities and unspoken words to someone who has passed away. She begins by admitting that she is always in a rush and never stays on the phone long enough. She wonders why she is so selfish and regrets not being able to slow down and focus on what is truly important. She continues to recall promising to see someone soon but realizing it has been a year since then, not fully grasping that time was precious. She admits that she knows the person is no longer able to hear her, but she still has so much to tell them, mainly goodbye.

The chorus repeats the lament that she is haunted by the words she should have said. She acknowledges that as she drowns in her regrets, she cannot take back the words she never said. She later describes how she always talked big and talked down to people, despite being advised not to. She admits that she hasn't been the best version of herself, but if the person had stuck around for a little longer, the person would have had more reasons to be proud of her. She continues to question why she never said the words she is haunted by until now. She concludes the song by admitting that, although the person is gone, the singer can't help but hope that somehow the person can hear her, even if it's just in the wind.

Line by Line Meaning

Always in a rush
I'm constantly in a hurry

Never stay on the phone
I hang up too soon

Long enough
I don't give people the time they need

Why am I so self-important?
I'm asking myself if I'm too egotistic

Said I'd see you soon
I promised we'd get together

But that was, oh,
But it's been a long time

Maybe a year ago
Almost a year passed

Didn't know time
I didn't realize how valuable time is

Was of the essence
Time was running out

So many questions
I have a lot of doubts

But I'm talking to myself
I'm just talking to my own thoughts

I know that you can't hear me
I understand you aren't around to listen

Anymore, not anymore
You've left forever

So much to tell you
There's much I want to say to you

And most of all goodbye
But what I want to say most is farewell

It's so loud inside my head
I can't stop thinking about it

With words that I
There are things I wanted to say

Should have said
That I regret not saying

And as I drown in my regrets
I feel consumed by my remorse

I can't take back
There's nothing I can do to go back

The words I never said
The words that were left unspoken

Always talkin shit
I'm always saying negative things

Took your advice
You tried to help me

And did the opposite
But I didn't listen

Just being young and stupid
I was naive and foolish

Oh
Oh

I haven't been all that you
I know I haven't been the best for you

Could have hoped for
You deserved more from me

But if you held on
But if you had waited

A little longer
A little while more

You'd have had more reasons
You'd have seen that I had improved

To be proud
And could have been proud of me

The longer I stand here
As I spend more time here

The louder the silence
The more silent it gets

I know that your gone
I understand that you've left

But sometimes I swear
But occasionally I feel

That I hear
Like I'm hearing

Your voice when the wind blows
Your voice in the wind

So I talk to the shadows
So I speak to the darkness

Hoping you might be listening
In hopes that you're listening

'Cause I want you to know
Because I want you to understand

my older sister, Charli, was a lot like a mother. we had our rough patches and I was to blame for most of them. She was working so hard to forgive my mistakes but she was murdered before I could make it right. This song speaks to that emotion of regret and knowing there is nothing I can do now. Don't squabble with your loved ones over petty things. Tell them you love them everyday, because from experience, you don't know when the last day is.

You're right. At 17 this song already hit me hard. At 28, I have lost my dad, one of my only real friends and my younger cousin who looked up to me. I've lost more people than I could count before that. Rambo summed it up when he said everyone he ever loved is now a Ghost. Take nothing for granted, when we're young we are naive and forget to really stop and appreciate everything.

Reading the comments on this video is really a cool thing how everyone interprets it differently. For me, it's my best friend from childhood who passed in 2012. SO MANY things I wish I would've said but didn't... I had no clue she was struggling with oxy addiction from her MS. Brought tears to my eyes.

@honestreviews7185

+renn werewolf hey, it's ok. I have no problems yet I'm always too scared to talk to others. I used to be so down about myself because I was always worrying about what others would think of me. Now, that is one thing I never regretted and that is being me. I'm proud of who I am and you should be too, one thing is clear amoung those that hide within the darkness they should never be afraid to be themselves. As long as you're happy and being you nothing can beat you down enough for you not to pick yourself up. It's alright, me and others are here for you. I hope you and your boyfriend are happy, that's why me and mine love each other so much because we love each other for who we are. :)

@HavenarcBlogspotJcK

9y↑21

I had similiar situation as your, except that its too late for me and her, because of my apathy, my hesitation, my fear. We talked less and less because I was afraid to be myself, afraid that she will hate who I really am. And now Its over because I am too much of a dumbass to be decisive and try to fix it. What left is guilt and regret and its hard to move on.

@honestreviews7185

9y↑4

Maxyalle Hey, are you sure it’s not too late to change anything between you and her?  Just remember you will always be happy to be you and that should never get in the way of what you want to do in life. People may judge you, but at the end of the day you’re the one still smiling because we don’t need a world full of judgemental idiots. If you could perhaps maybe you should tell her the truth :3 things may get resolved.

@susannalung3150

8y↑2

its okay :) go ahead and open up to the people you love :) they want you to be open with them. and if you keep feeling like you should tell them things while you're around them, they might get suspicious and think its something different (cheating, etc). telling them might help you relax more around them, too and be a better person than you already are. :)

You tell me your proud and you didn’t think I hated you. That you knew I loved you. Please come back, don’t let this be real

@joanisisvillegas8348

I used to listen to this song, all the time. With a weight so heavy in my heart.. it was hurting, badly. I felt stuck. Like there was no way out. And I felt like no one could hear my cry for help, or understand the pain that I was going through. Worst of all, I did my best to hide it. It was such an overwhelming pain. It got to the point my heart began to physically feel it. I’d get a terrible pain in my chest and it was all due to the emotional pain I was in. Eventually I was so broken to the point I managed to numb myself, convince myself to just simply stop feeling. I thought it’d hurt a little less. But then the best thing happened in my life... Jesus revealed himself to me. No one convinced me, no one taught me of Him.. It was Him who reached in and pulled me out of the water where I was drowning. He transformed me in such a beautiful way and I’ve never in my life been happier. He saved me when no one else would’ve cared to do. He showed me a love I never knew. I used to hate religion, or the Bible.. and at some point I began to hated God, but He pushed my feelings towards Him aside and rescued me from my pain instead. I soon realized it’s definitely not a religion. He is much more than that. He is a living God, who only wants your heart. Who does great miracles and transforms the broken. He is a father ready to help if you just simply allow Him. No matter how damaged, lost, numb, or broken you are.. he will take your precious heart and restore it as he did for me. You are very special to Him.. it’s why I am sharing my testimony on here. Because 5 years later I return to this song, and I realized how far I’ve come with God. I mean it when I say I am the happiest person.. and it’s all because of Him. He loved me when I couldn’t love myself. He comforted me, and He made me realize how much He truly loves me. And every day I fall more in love with Him. It’s not an idea in my head. He is real and you feel His presence, He speaks to you. He reveals himself to you in the most beautiful ways. He’ll receive you with open arms, as He did with me. ❤️

I have abandonment issues, I guess. I'm afraid of people leaving my side, especially the ones I caught feelings for. So many of my dearest friends forgot about me, and I wish I could've told them that I was sorry. It's been such a long time since we haven't talked, and me constantly wishing that I could be with them again, it has made it harder to move on. After that, I developed trust issues. My logic is to leave the people who actually want to stay, in order to protect myself from the pain. Stupid, huh?

its funny how every laugh and tear we shared together i cant get back, and sometimes when i want to destroy those memories and thoughts i cant because to say that i miss you and hate you in scrupulous unison would be an understatement, and i hope your listening or at least can see this from heaven or wherever the hell you are. But im sorry that i couldn't stay, and im sorry that i told you i'd loved you because i was afraid that you wouldn't stay my friend if i didn't say it, you know how hard that was for me, you know i'd never believed in that love bullshit. I should have stayed, i should have held you in my arms, and i should have kissed you before you were gone. i shouldn't have ever said that i was going to leave. my throat used to tighten whenever you said you loved me, because somehow i couldn't believe you, my hands got sweaty when you told me i was beautiful because nobody had ever said those words to me. I remember asking why you were still with me, and why you loved me and how you could say those damn words so fucking easily, and why it was me that you fell for and asking you how you knew what love was, asking how i knew what love was because i'd never known how to deal with or how to recognize it, or if it was even real. but i guess now that your gone i know i loved you and i know that love is real. i just wish i could've told you that.

This song triggers a feeling in me of missing those that I 've lost along the way, especially my Dad. We had a bond that can never be replaced and I miss him every day. Yet sometimes he visits me and I can feel his presence. There are a couple of lines in the bridge of this song specifically about that!("I know that you're gone but sometimes I swear that I hear your voice when the wind blows, so I talk to the shadows hoping you might be listening 'cause I want you to know!)He even literally speaks to me sometimes! So those of you missing your loved ones, listen and you may hear them!

My grandpa passed away Wednesday August 17th. Monday I found out he was moved to hospice via text from my dad. I thought it eas a typo for hospital... I didn't know what hospice was until the day he died. So I didn't think to visit him since at the time he was moving between hospitals and care centers a lot, like every year. 7:30 am on wednesday, my mum called me. but I didn't wake up until 8. My sister was on her way to take my brother and I to say our goodbyes. My dad called my sister at 8 to tell her he passed. But they didn't tell us because she wanted to tell us in person. Being the anxious and emotional persob I am, I got on facebook to watch cute videos as a distraction. Very first post ob my timeline was my dad saying he passed at 8 am... I hadn't cried at all that morning, until I sae that. I fought the tears and called my dad. Holding the tears back, I comforted him and told him I'm not upsrt about the facebook post. After we hung up, I broke down. My mum texted me asking how I was, I said terrible. so she called me. I couldn't talk, I just bawled. Her voice was stern and she said "I'm coming home". It's the worst feeling.. abd it hurt more going into his room and seeing his body. It felt like a movie walking through those halls, like it wasn't real.. But when I touched his hand.. it became real again. I told him I'm sorry for not visiting and I'm sorry for not being there when he passed. It still hurts so much. But now I have a his old handkerchief that smells like him. Just holding it puts my mind at ease.

This song reminds me that I'll never mean nothing to anybody. Neither for my personality or my aspect, whatever it is, it's wrong. I try very very hard to be the best version of myself with everybody, but everytime i met a girl is just that... they won't stay next to me for long. Everything's wrong around me and I would love to fall in tears but literally my body is unable to translate all the sadness into physical drops from my eyes. Please, take care of your people and your loved ones. And never let somebody with depression be alone... it hurts, trust me.

@saimamunreddy202

To get rid of this feeling people have different ways, one trying to find a person, but I myself trying to do it in a religious way, I'm Muslim and I'm trying to get closer to get, thats all I need, everyone needs a person at least in his life, but u better depends on urself, try ur best, and let the other to God, he almighty and most merciful, God will do the best that u want

My grandmother died of cancer in 2012. She was in the hospital and I didn’t want to visit her because I didn’t like hospitals. I was just 12 years old and didn’t understand the seriousness of the situation. 3 years later, my best friend’s father died, who was basically my replacement during the time I had no contact with my real father. I hadn’t spoken to him for a long time due to a certain distance and work. then I found out he died and I never told him I loved him. I understood all of these things far too late and I deeply regret them. Please always remember to tell your loved ones how much you love them!!!

8 years ago i was middle school student, didn't know English well yet back then but was catching some random words and could stick them to understand sense. This song have so many memories in itself i just found it again and idk what i feel, it remind me of my first crush and broken heart cuz i was rejected, i liked to cry with this song on. Now i feel happy cuz miss that days but also feel such a cringe for myself cuz it really was nothing and I'm glad I didn't have relationship with that dude, he wasn't nice at all and shown himself to all town as bad person lately, this year i had much worse things in life and i realizing how simple things were back then

As a recovering alcoholic and past illicit drug user this song means so much to me. This song always reminds me of my best friends suicide and the words I could have said on the phone to prevent it *I was the last person to ever speak to him alive not knowing what he was planning*. My life has been in an alcohol fuelled spiral since December 2014 but I'm proud to say that I'm officially one month and 9 days sober. I'm so grateful to be here but I'm still filled with so much regret just thinking of the things that could have been, having known the right words to say to him.

Ever since my ex left me, I've had been vulnerable since then and still I am to some bit, can't deny it. I've changed a lot since she left me. It was like a milestone in my life. My views on certain things changed. I started growing. I am becoming a better version of myself. And I get ignored by every single girl I start to like. I've created this illusion of a partyboy now but deep inside I am a dark soul.

I've listened to this song before and never really thought about the meaning, until today where I couldn't be there for a friend and cheer him up. Im the one to keep my thoughts locked up in my head and barely speak. So when today got overwhelming and I couldn't help my best friend I went to go listen to some music. This song came on and for the first time.. I cried. It relates to my past and present, and I never knew of a song that could do that. And I'm clearly not the only one to feel this way, the comments on this video show that many people have had more painful experiences then me and still have the same feeling. It really makes you think.

I am suffering from depression and I am trying to get a grip on life. I built walls and burned so many bridges all my life. I have tons of regrets and words that were unsaid. I lost a lot of people that I love and did not get to say what I wanted to say. I have a lot of people that I need to catch up with, Tons of people to ask for their forgiveness, A handful of people that I should return some favors and People that needs to know I love them. A husband of a close family friend died and I am so affected. As a wife myself, I can't imagine how it feels like to loose your better half. Wrote this comment to unburden myself from all the words going inside my head.
