IF I LET YOU GO
Î÷³ÇÄк¢Westlife Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Day after day
Time pass away
And I just can't get you out my mind
Nobody knows
I hide it inside
I keep on searching
But I can't find
The courage to show
To letting you know
I never felt so much love before
And once again
I'm thinking about
Taking the easy way out

But if I let you go
I will never know
What's my life would be
Holding you close to me
Will I ever see
You smiling back at me
How will I know
If I let you go

Night after night
I hear myself say
What can't this feeling just fade away
There's no one like you
Can speak to my heart
It's just a shame we worlds apart
I'm too shy to ask
I'm too proud to lose
But sooner or later
I've got to choose
And once again
I'm thinking about
taking the easy way out

But if I let you go
I will never know
What's my life would be
Holding you close to me
Will I ever see
You smiling back at me




How will I know
If I let you go

The person wants to be with this other individual, but fear and uncertainty overwhelm the singer's heart, making it challenging to move forward with the relationship. The singer's internal battle demonstrates the universal conflict that comes with romantic relationships, highlighting the consequences of taking a chance, or not taking any risks.

It's already 2023 and still enjoying the cool sounds of the 20's. Westlife will always be my favorite boyband of all time. No one else comes close to the colorful memories that they brought to my childhood through their music. As soloists or as one band, Shane, Mark, Bryan, Nick, and Kean will be my "evergreen" band.
