Lewis Capaldi is fast becoming the nation's sweetheart, and the Scottish singer-songwriter is always keeping us entertained both with his music and his brilliant personality.

But what do we know about Lewis Capaldi's career ?

He started playing drums and guitar when he was only two years old and kicked of his music career by singing in local pubs aged nine.

By the time he was 17, Lewis knew he wanted to pursue a career in music, and was then discovered by his manager Ryan Walter through a SoundCloud upload he'd recorded with an iPhone in his bedroom.

Lewis Capaldi's voice and singing are very unique. I can identify his singing right away when I listen to the radio.

Today, let's listen to the song "Before You Go". 

 

"Before You Go" is a song by Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi, released as a single from the extended edition of his debut studio album Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent on 19 November 2019. 

Capaldi revealed in a social media post that the song was "by far the most personal tune" he had ever written.^[2] According to Idolator, the song "deals with the emotional aftermath of suicide", and was inspired by the suicide of Capaldi's aunt while Capaldi was a child.

 

Please fill out the blanks of lyrics

 

I fell by the ( wayside  ), like everyone else
I hate you, I hate you, I hate you
But I was just (  kidding) myself
Our every moment, I start to ( replace)
'Cause now that they're gone
All I hear are the words that I needed to say

When you hurt under the ( surface）
Like troubled water running ( cold）
Well, time can heal but this won't

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）
So, before you go

 

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 ( replace）
But all I can think about is seeing that look on your face

When you hurt under the (  surface）
Like troubled water running (  cold）
Well, time can heal but this won't

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）
So, before you go

Would we be better off by now
If I'd let my walls come down?
Maybe I guess we'll never know
You know, you know

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）
So, before you go
