Before you go by Lewis Calpidi is talking about suicide and the aftermath of it. How people to start to blame themselves for not loving the person enough and for not being there. The Chorus says,
“So, before you go
Was there something I could’ve said
To make your heart beat better?

If only I’d have known you had a storm to weather
So, before you go
Was there something I could’ve said
To make it all stop hurting?
It kills me how your mind can make you feel so worthless”

He said it was something his family had experienced and it much more serious than a heart break. His aunt committed suicide and he talked about how his mum felt. First she was angry at her for doing it without thinking of the people she left behind. Then she was mad at her self for not being there to have known she was depressed.
“Was never the right time, whenever you called
Went little, by little, by little until there was nothing at all
Our every moment, I start to replay
But all I can think about is seeing that look on your face”
