Things Left Unsaid
Disciple Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just a matter of time a few days ago,
I saw you you were fine
Remembering what you said
About the book you read
The one I got you the beginning of the end

Oh how we talked, for hours upon end
What I would give just to do it again
Your lying there in this hospital bed
Won't you open your eyes
And lets talk once again.

If you fly away tonight,
I wanna tell you that I love you.
I hope that you can hear me,
I hope that you can feel me.
If you fly away tonight,
I wanna tell you that I'm sorry,
That I never told you
When we were face to face.

Well I've been here all night
And I'm watching you
Breathe in and Breathe out
Is it really you or just a machiene
That's giving you life and
Making it seem that there could be hope
I could say it to your face?
If it weren't for you then
There would be no grace
That's covered my life.
You took the time to speak into my mind
And my harsh words were lies

If you fly away tonight
I wanna tell you that I love you
I hope that you can hear me
I hope that you can feel me
If you fly away tonight
I wanna tell you that I'm sorry




That I never told you
When we were face to face

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Disciple's song "Things Left Unsaid" stem from the perspective of a person sitting near a loved one whom he or she has a lot of things to say, but never did. The song seems to be about regret, loss, and redemption. The person is sitting in a hospital beside their loved one's bed, watching them breathe, and feeling sorry for not having said certain things while the person was alive. There's a sense of guilt in the lyrics, but also a realization that it's not too late to apologize, to express love or gratitude, or to reconcile emotions. Even in the last moments, when the loved one might fly away into the unknown, the person still hopes to communicate and feels that love, redemption, and forgiveness are still possible.


The lyrics describe the pain of a missed opportunity to communicate with someone who was important. They express a longing to talk again, to express regret, and to say the things left unsaid. It's a song about being vulnerable and honest, even when it's difficult or when time is running out. It's a reminder that we should not take communication for granted, that we should not wait for tomorrow to say the things that we feel today.

Lib Da Bunny

love that song

Michael Wing

Just lost my niece...this song will be on repeat for awhile. Thank you for putting into words the cries of my soul

Tish Whihl

Michael. Although you and your family lost a beautiful soul, God had bigger plans for her in Heaven for His purposes and plans in His Kingdom. It's not for us to understand why God operates the way He does. His ways are not our ways and our thoughts are not His thoughts.

May the peace of Christ rule in your hearts richly. Take care and God bless you.

Chris Simpson

I'm so sorry, my condolences, you will be in my prayers.

George Helton

Tish Whihl

Mr. Helton. Although you lost your lovely wife, partner, friend, support...God had bigger purposes and plans for her in Heaven. She will be treasured, loved, adored, remembered but never forgotten. She is in a better place, especially at a time like this.

May God carry you and your family through your pain and sorrow. Lean on His strength.

God bless you.
