Lyrics

Somebody please tell me

Seeking guidance or information from someone.

What am I suppose to do?

Expressing confusion or uncertainty about what to do.

You died and I'm here

Referencing the death of a loved one while the speaker remains alive.

Thinking that I hear your voice,

Believing they hear the voice of the deceased, yet it's someone else.

But it's somebody else

Continuing to mistake other voices for the deceased's.

It's always somebody else

Expressing the persistent inability to hear the deceased loved one's voice.

Why did you die?

Questioning why the loved one died.

Don't leave me please

Pleading for the deceased not to leave.

I beg you God tonight bring me peace

Begging God for peace in the present situation.

I'll never sleep without

Unable to rest peacefully without dreaming of the departed loved one.

The dreams of you alive here with me

Desiring to keep memories of the deceased alive.

The brightness left your eyes

Noticing the loss of vitality or spark in the eyes of the departed.

As I held your face

Recalling a moment of physically holding the deceased's face.

Don't tell me it's the right time

Rejecting the notion that it's the right time for the loved one to depart.

And your last words will sustain me

Believing that the last words of the deceased will provide ongoing sustenance.

Until my end...until I see you again

Longing to be reunited with the departed until their own end.

White words (your life) evade me (but a moment)

Struggling to articulate or express the essence of the departed person's life.

I'll wait to (I'll cling to) remember you (forever)

Planning to hold onto memories of the departed forever.

And what you had (your words) meant to me (on my blood)

Emphasizing the significance of what the departed person meant to the speaker.

Could never be forgotten

Asserting that the impact of the departed will never fade from memory.

The chains (why) of death (don't take)

Questioning the reason for the emotional struggle caused by death.

Are falling (away), but my heart still bleeds

Feeling the emotional pain of loss despite the passing of time.

It longs for (why) the day (did you die)

Longing for the day of reunion with the departed.

When we will be as one

Anticipating a future where they will be together again.
