Skylar Grey – Words Lyrics 12 years ago
I think this song is about somebody she lost a mother or a father or overall and important adult figure in her life. Personally, This song express how i feel about my father's death.

"Always in a rush Never stay on the phone Long enough Why am I so self important?" This part refers to how she was so caught up with her life, her friends etc; she didn't make time to talk to him/her and she regrets that now.

"Said I'd see you soon But that was,Maybe a year ago Didn't know time
Was of the essence" Maybe this person died all of the sudden; one day he/she was here, with good health ,etc, and the next moment he/she wasn't

"So many questions But I'm talking to myself I know that you can't hear me
Anymore. Not anymore" She has so many questions about this person's life, his/her history or maybe about why he/she had to go; but she knows she will never have the answers.

"So much to tell you And most of all goodbye But I know that you can't hear me
Anymore" This part just confirms the idea of the sudden death of the person; she wants a proper goodbye, a last chance to say I love you, a last hugh, last words, but she can't have that.

" It's so loud inside my head With words that I Should have said
And as I drown in my regret I can't take back The words I never said" I think she regrets no saying enough I love you (and that kind of stuff) , when that person was alive, because it's better to regret something you said, than to regret something you didn't say.

"Always talkin shit Took your advice And did the opposite Just being young and stupid" That person always adviced her, try to teach her about his/her own mistakes,, because he/she cares about her, but she never listen because she's "young and stupid"

"I haven't been all that you Could have hoped for But I you hung on A little longer You'd have had more reasons To be proud" She thought she had time to make the person proud so she allowed herself to make some stupid mistakes.

"The longer I stand here The louder the silence I know that your gone But sometimes I swear That I hear Your voice when the wind blows So I talk to to the shadows Hoping you might be listening " I think she's in a graveyard , she feels his/her presence (not in a paranormal way) sometimes, and other times she doesn't. She feels the need to talk to this person, to pretend the person is alive, but she knows deep down she only have memories to hold on now.
