Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Losing sleep without you next to me
My mind's racing thinking about your smile
Oh Boy, I wish you stayed a while...
Oh Oh Oh
Don't you leave me high and dry
These cold nights are harder alone
Before you go, I need to know ....Oh
Tell me why
Everything fell apart
Tell me why
I left with a broken heart
Tell me why
Oh Please tell me what's on your mind
Before you go - I need to - I need to - I need to know
The reason your leaving oh
I need to - I need to - I need to know
I need to start healing so
I need to - I need to - I need to know
Why you think
That you're the only one that's hurting
Cuz that ain't true
Don't you forget
All of the times I've tried to make it work
Cuz I still miss you
The moments we shared together
They're gonna last forever
I don't have a single doubt in my mind
But 2 isn't always better
This storm we couldn't weather
Didn't think we had another try .
Before I slip into the night
I will try to make this right
Don't you leave me high and dry - all alone
Before you go - I need to - I need to - I need to know
The reason your leaving oh
I need to - I need to - I need to know
I need to start healing so
I need to - I need to - I need to know
The reason your leaving oh
I need to - I need to - I need to know
I need to start healing so
I need to - I need to - I need to know

I can't breath
I'm struggling to cope without you
Losing sleep without you next to me
I'm having trouble sleeping because you're not here with me
My mind's racing thinking about your smile
I can't stop thinking about you and how happy you made me
Oh Boy, I wish you stayed a while...
I wish you hadn't left me
Don't you leave me high and dry
Please don't abandon me and leave me stranded
Cuz I'm not ready to leave your side
I'm not ready to let go of you and move on
These cold nights are harder alone
It's even harder to cope with loneliness on cold, dark nights
Before you go, I need to know ....Oh
I have unanswered questions and I need closure before you leave
Tell me why
I'm asking for an explanation
Everything fell apart
Our relationship deteriorated and ended
I left with a broken heart
I was hurt by the way our relationship ended
Oh Please tell me what's on your mind
I need you to open up and share your thoughts with me
The reason your leaving oh
I need to know why you're leaving
I need to start healing so
I need to begin the process of recovering and moving on
Why you think
I'm curious to know your perspective on the situation
That you're the only one that's hurting
I want you to know that I'm hurting too
Don't you forget
I don't want you to overlook the efforts I made in our relationship
All of the times I've tried to make it work
I worked hard to try and make our relationship function
Cuz I still miss you
I'm still not over you and miss you deeply
The moments we shared together
Our memories will always be cherished by me
They're gonna last forever
Our memories will never fade away
I don't have a single doubt in my mind
I'm absolutely sure of our memories and their significance
But 2 isn't always better
Just having the two of us in our relationship wasn't enough
This storm we couldn't weather
We weren't able to overcome the challenges we faced
Didn't think we had another try .
I didn't think our relationship could be salvaged
Before I slip into the night
Before I lose contact with you entirely
I will try to make this right
I'll try to fix what went wrong in our relationship
Don't you leave me high and dry - all alone
Please don't leave me alone with unanswered questions
The reason your leaving oh
I need an explanation for why you're leaving
I need to start healing so
I need to begin the process of recovering and moving on
I need to - I need to - I need to know
I need clarity and closure to help me move forward
