Gnash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I don't wanna respond
Don't really have a choice
Just kinda hit me that you're gone
Haven't spoke for a minute
I been barely living
(I been)
It only feels so fitting
We made your wifi code and it's saved to my phone
Sometimes I type it in the dots just to check if I'm home
Just like E.T. the stars on your ceiling reflect my glow in the dark heart
While it's beating and I'm bleeding out
We were bout that scream and shout
But what was it that we screamed about?
With or without
Couldn't figure what would sting worse
Always wondered who would leave first
Leave a message
When no one else is near you
So no one else can hear you
Tell me everything
Leave a message
When there's no one else around
I don't want to hear it now but can't seem to turn you down
Leave a.
Sorry I lost you but I got something to say before I leave
I'm sorry that I miss you
But it's cool, get to see you in my dreams
Thanks for showing me how love feels
Thanks for showing me how loss feels too
Thanks for making me strong when things fall apart
Thanks for the try, at least we had a good start
Just wanted to hold you down, but you put me on hold
And I gave you all my heart
And I gave you my soul
Baby every little thing is going to be all right
You'll always be on my mind
Can't always be in my life
I know one day you'll smile with all the happy you need
I hope one day you'll smile with all that happy at me
One day you'll see everything in you that I see
And I hope one day you'll be as happy as you pretend to be

Line by Line Meaning
I wanna hear your voice
I miss you and want to hear from you
But I don't wanna respond
I'm afraid of how I might feel or what I might say
Don't really have a choice
I can't help but think about you, even though it hurts
Just kinda hit me that you're gone
I'm realizing for the first time that you're really not here anymore
Haven't spoke for a minute
It's been a while since we last spoke
I been barely living
I've been struggling since you've been gone
It only feels so fitting
It seems natural or right that I would miss you
The only care that you were given is the loving that I'm currently missing
The love and attention you gave me is what I miss the most
We made your wifi code and it's saved to my phone
We have shared experiences and memories that still exist
Sometimes I type it in the dots just to check if I'm home
I visit those memories, trying to capture a feeling of belonging
Just like E.T. the stars on your ceiling reflect my glow in the dark heart
The things you loved or found comfort in remind me of you and how you made me feel
While it's beating and I'm bleeding out
My emotions are overwhelming and painful
We were bout that scream and shout
Our love was passionate and intense
But what was it that we screamed about?
I don't even remember what caused our fights or disagreements
With or without
Regardless of whether you're here or not
Couldn't figure what would sting worse
I don't know what hurt more - losing you or being without you
Always wondered who would leave first
I always feared one of us would eventually leave the other
Sorry I lost you but I got something to say before I leave
I regret that we are no longer together, but I need to express my feelings
I'm sorry that I miss you
I feel guilty for missing you, like it's a weakness or mistake
But it's cool, get to see you in my dreams
I find comfort in dreaming about you, even though it's not real
Thanks for showing me how love feels
I'm grateful for the love we shared and how it shaped me
Thanks for showing me how loss feels too
I'm also thankful for the lessons I learned through losing you
Thanks for making me strong when things fall apart
I've grown stronger from the hardships we faced together
Thanks for the try, at least we had a good start
I appreciate our efforts to make it work, even though we ultimately couldn't
Baby every little thing is going to be all right
I'm trying to believe that time will heal and everything will be okay
You'll always be on my mind
You'll never truly leave my thoughts or memories
Can't always be in my life
But I have to accept that you won't always be a part of my life
I know one day you'll smile with all the happy you need
I hope you find happiness without me, even if it hurts me
I hope one day you'll smile with all that happy at me
I want you to remember me fondly and be happy we had our time together
One day you'll see everything in you that I see
I believe in your potential and want you to recognize it in yourself
And I hope one day you'll be as happy as you pretend to be
I know you're not always as happy as you seem, but I hope you do find that happiness
There's ideas we had, that we no longer know
Our dreams and plans for the future were lost with our relationship
There's places we've been, that we no longer go
The places we used to go or loved together now hold bittersweet memories
There's things we learn, that we don't want to know
The truth about our relationship or ourselves can be painful and hard to face
And there's people we love, That we have to let go
Sometimes we have to let go of those we love, even if it hurts
Leave a message, When no one else is near you, So no one else can hear you, Tell me everything
Despite the pain, I still want to hear from you and connect
When there's no one else around, I don't want to hear it now, But can't seem to turn you down
I'm conflicted about hearing from you, but ultimately can't resist

Reflect my glow in the dark heart,
While its beating and I'm bleeding out.
We were bout that scream and shout,
But what was it that we screamed about?
With or without,
Couldn't figure what would sting worse,
Always wondered who would leave first.

Verse 1]
I wanna hear your voice but I don't wanna respond
Don't really have a choice
Just kind of hit me that you're gone
Haven't spoke for a minute
I have been barely living
I have been... It only feels so fitting
The only care that you were given
Is the loving that I'm currently missing
We made your WiFi-code and it's saved to my phone
Sometimes I type it in the dots[?] just to check if I'm home
Just like E.T. and the stars on your ceiling
Reflect my glow in the dark heart while it's beating and I'm bleeding out
We were about that scream and shout but what was it that we screamed about
With or without couldn't figure what would sting worse
Always wondered who would leave first
[Chorus]

Sorry I lost you ... But I got something to say before I leave

Thanks for showing me how loss feels too
Thanks for making me strong when things fall apart
Thanks for the try, at least we had a good start
Just wanted to hold you down but you put me on hold
And I gave you all my heart
And I gave you my soul
Baby, every little thing is gonna be alright
You'll always be on my mind, can't always be in my life
I know one day you'll smile with all the happy you need
I hope one day you'll smile with all the happy at me
I know one day you'll see everything in view that I see[?]
And I hope one day you'll be as happy as you pretend to be

TRUE HEART BREAK^^^
@dustincarriker594
I just want to leave a legacy with a short life.
Tip toeing to see my deathbed.
Communication is key?
What about when you can't sleep without terrors.
Waking up without words to explain what you feel, so you fake it.
Tell them what you created so it's not so hard to smile.
Little acts of kindness to see others smile.
Trying to mimic there smile.
Maybe placebo?
I'm in the way of so many smiles.
Reaching out for closure in the wishing well.
That's it, a wish.
One that won't be fulfilled.
A fugitive of love.
Barely living, using others messages, to fulfill my need for feeling.
I don't want you to care.
Less subtle than before.
Little sound, turn that down.
Listen.
Just for once you insensitive prick.
I'm babbling on about how I can't see a way out and you feel the need to be mad at me?
All I wanted was fatherly love, all I wanted was a bond.
Yeah you have time to talk when it's covenant for you.
Sure mom you can listen when I can't speak can't you.
Yes, I have people who care.
Little do they know I can't seem to care.
That's why I want to leave.
So maybe now, when everything is done.
They will still think I did.
Through my selfish act I beat myself.
Primitively acts because re finer things fleet from my grasp.
I am nothing.
I create pain and write about it.
I'm not worth your time of day or night.
Three am conversations is all I ask.
I just can't believe how horrible I truly am.
I take without consent.
And I leave you alone.
I'm a worthless piece of fucking trash.
You should know it.
I watched you do it.
Im so angry and saddened by this story of mine.
I want to make it better.
I truly try.
You deserve a better son than I.
Im more than gone.
Even when I tried to tell you.
I was cut off by your serrated words.
I'm still bleeding.
It's just on the inside.
Please.
Let
Me
Die.
I beg of you.

Came back and looked through my subscriptions. Found this channel and I was confused, then I found this song. I lived for this song when I was broken and I still know the words. What a flash of horrid memories and loneliness. If you ever read this who ever you are. The ones that feel broken and lonely. Just shrouded in misery. I promise, things will get better for you. The you now isn't gonna be the you after. Don't hold onto the words, dont hold onto the memories. It will only make things worse I promise. Just look up or look out for the beauty on the small things and keep your head up. I promise these slow pain and misery isn't gonna last forever.
