Howie Beck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's not your fault
Everything just went wrong
Inside your heart
While you were gone
Please be alright
She said it's a go
But i don't know
While i can still breathe
Let me be on my way
I always knew you'd leave
You could never stay
Please be alright
She said it's a go
But i don't know

Please
I am pleading with you
It's not your fault
You are not to blame for what happened
Everything just went wrong
Things just didn't work out the way we wanted them to
Inside your heart
The emotions you are feeling
While you were gone
During the time you were away
Please be alright
I hope you are okay
She said it's a go
She agreed to something
But i don't know
I am unsure about the situation
While i can still breathe
Before it's too late
Let me be on my way
Allow me to go my own path
I always knew you'd leave
I had a feeling you would go away
You could never stay
You had trouble committing and staying put
