Before October's gone
Cimorelli Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Our phone calls got shorter
And the nights they got longer
You stopped replying
And I saw you with her

You tell me you miss me
I feel special for a second
But then you turn around and show me
that you didn't meant it

I listen to your voicemail from last September
And I bet that you don't remember leaving it
But it's all I got
My last piece of you

Maybe sometimes things just have to end
Maybe sometimes there's just no explaining it
But you could've let me know
You'd be moving on before Octobers gone

I heard all the rumors
I didn't want to believe it
You barely mentioned her once
I didn't think anything of it

Sitting there on my driveway
Said you could listen to me all night
Now you're the boy who never meant it
And I'm just the girl who took it all the wrong way

Now I'm lost here
It's mid-December
And you made it official with her
I was naive, you never wanted me
Tell me why'd you do this to me?

Maybe sometimes things just have to end
Maybe sometimes there's just no explaining it
But you could've let me know
You'd be moving on before Octobers gone

On that October night when I let you go
You didn't even try to make me stay, no
I didn't know that you could be so cold
Like the Minnesota snow

Somehow I always knew we'd end up this way
And I hope you feel happy someday
I just wanted you to open up to me
But now that's on the list of things you never did

Maybe sometimes things just have to end
Maybe sometimes there's just no explaining it

But you could've let me know
You'd be moving on




You'd be moving on
You'd be moving on before Octobers gone

Overall Meaning

The song "Before October's Gone" by Cimorelli tells the story of a failed relationship where the singer is left to deal with her heartbreak as her ex-boyfriend moves on with someone new. The lyrics capture the feeling of being left in the dark, finding out about the new relationship through rumors, and the singer feeling foolish for having believed the ex's promises of love. The song is a relatable story of heartbreak and moving on, and it captures the emotion of the situation beautifully.


The lyrics describe the way the relationship faded, with phone calls getting shorter and nights getting longer. The singer recognizes that the relationship is ending and holds onto the last voicemail from September as a reminder of the love they shared. However, the ex-boyfriend moves on, leaving the singer feeling lost and alone. The song is a poignant reminder that sometimes things need to come to an end, but it is always better to move on with honesty and grace.


Line by Line Meaning

Our phone calls got shorter
Our communication started dwindling


And the nights they got longer
The time between our talks increased


You stopped replying
You didn't respond to my messages anymore


And I saw you with her
I witnessed you with someone else


You tell me you miss me
You expressed a longing for me


I feel special for a second
I felt valued and important


But then you turn around and show me
You demonstrated the opposite of what you said


that you didn't meant it
You didn't really mean what you said


I listen to your voicemail from last September
I play back the voice message you left me in September


And I bet that you don't remember leaving it
I presume that you have forgotten about it


But it's all I got
That's the only thing I have left of you


My last piece of you
The last remnant of you that I have


Maybe sometimes things just have to end
Perhaps some things naturally come to a close


Maybe sometimes there's just no explaining it
Perhaps there's no rationalizing the way things turn out


But you could've let me know
You should have given me a heads up


You'd be moving on before Octobers gone
You'd be moving on before October ends


I heard all the rumors
I was told all the stories about you


I didn't want to believe it
I hoped that they weren't true


You barely mentioned her once
You hardly ever talked about her


I didn't think anything of it
I didn't take it as a sign of anything


Sitting there on my driveway
Sitting outside my house


Said you could listen to me all night
You claimed you were willing to listen to me for hours


Now you're the boy who never meant it
Now you're the guy who never truly cared


And I'm just the girl who took it all the wrong way
And I'm the one who misunderstood everything


Now I'm lost here
Now I'm feeling disoriented


It's mid-December
It's the middle of December


And you made it official with her
And you made your relationship with her public


I was naive, you never wanted me
I was inexperienced, you never had feelings for me


Tell me why'd you do this to me?
Can you explain why you treated me this way?


On that October night when I let you go
On that fateful night in October when I walked away


You didn't even try to make me stay, no
You didn't implore me to stay


I didn't know that you could be so cold
I wasn't aware that you could be so heartless


Like the Minnesota snow
Like the freezing snow in Minnesota


Somehow I always knew we'd end up this way
Somehow, deep down, I always sensed that we'd break up like this


And I hope you feel happy someday
I wish that you find happiness at some point


I just wanted you to open up to me
All I wanted was for you to be honest with me


But now that's on the list of things you never did
But now that's one of the many things you never did

i agree with you !!

Eloise a HOH model.

Cimorelli helped me a lot through high school. i was bullied in high school because i am hard of hearing. and i hated school so much then i heard Cimorelli covers and they just made me feel better about myself. i love this song and Good enough so much because of my past. i wouldnt be alive right now if it wasnt for Cimorelli. they saved me with their music and im thankful for that.

Also she is growing up so gorgeous!
