Let You Go
АТВ & Armin van Buuren Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Darling I walked alone for a long long time
In the dark on the West side, where we used to go
Thought that I was right to leave
I looked back and saw that you were gone
Find it so hard to believe
After all that, we're still holding on

And I don't ever wanna get you off my mind

So don't let me go
Stay by my side
'Cause my heart won't know
How to survive

And though it's hard to feel it right now, right now
Know the love is going to come back around
So don't let me go
Darling don't let me go
(Darling don't let me go)

And though it's hard to feel it right now, right now
Know the love is going to come back around
So don't let me go
Darling don't let me go
(Darling don't let me go)

Tried to find something just like what we used to know, yeah
Took a while to realize, what we had we never left behind
I can see it in your eyes
And I hope that you can see it in mine

I don't ever want to you hear you say goodbye

So don't let me go
Stay by my side
'Cause my heart won't know
How to survive, yeah

And though it's hard to feel it right now, right now
Know the love is going to come back around
So don't let me go
Darling don't let me go
(Darling don't let me go)

Yeah and though it's hard to feel it right now, right now
Know the love is going to come back around
So don't let me go

Darling don't let me go
(Darling don't let me go)

Darling I walked alone for a long long time
I spent a considerable amount of time without you, feeling alone and lost.

In the dark on the West side, where we used to go
In a desolate place, where our past memories were created.

Thought that I was right to leave
I believed it was the correct decision to separate from you.

I looked back and saw that you were gone
When I turned around, I realized that you were no longer with me.

I struggle to accept this reality.

After all that, we're still holding on

How to survive
How to continue existing without you.

Understand that our love will return.

Darling don't let me go
My love, please do not allow us to part ways.

I attempted to find something reminiscent of our past experiences.

Took a while to realize, what we had we never left behind
It took time for me to understand that we never truly left our previous connection behind.

I can see it in your eyes
I can perceive it in your gaze.

And I hope that you can see it in mine
And I desire for you to recognize it in my eyes.

I never want to hear you utter the word 'goodbye.'
