let you go
A War Within Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now I wake up alone
As the world passes by
You're no where to be found, (you're no where to be found)
Used to look to the sun for warmth
Now I hide in the shadows
Hoping it won't find me
I would give up all I have
Just to bring you back
Never knew that it'd be so hard
Not having you around
I dream of a place where you're here
Where I know that no one can take you
Away, (away)
From me
Now I wish things would be changed
I wish she could be saved
I won't let you go
I won't let you go
Are you even listening?
Please I take back everything
I won't let you go
I won't let you go
It still feels like it's just a dream
It feels like you never left
All times and the memories we shared
They still live in me
And now this place is fading fast
Take me back to where to
Where we started from
Oh tell me what to do, (oh tell me what to do)
I would give up all I have
Just to bring you back
Never knew that it'd be so hard
Not having you around
Why can't you stay right here?
Where I know that no one can take you
Maybe one day I'll see
That you're still with me
(I feel so empty)
Sometimes life takes everything we love the most
Sometimes it feels like the pain will never stop
(I wish I could go back in time and tell you how much I love you)
(but instead I'm here wishing that you were right next to me)
(I feel so empty)
(I'm drowning, I'm drowning)
Oh, oh
Now I wish things would be changed
I wish she could be saved
I won't let you go
I won't let you go
Are you even listening?
Please I take back everything
I won't let you go
I won't let you go
The song Let You Go by A War Within is a heart-wrenching tribute to lost love. The lyrics speak of the pain of waking up alone and the desire to bring back the one who has gone away. The singer recalls the warmth and light of the sun, but now only finds darkness and shadows in the absence of their loved one. Even the memories they shared seem to be fading and slipping away. This sense of loss is so overwhelming that the singer wishes they could turn back time and tell their loved one how much they meant to them.
Throughout the song, the singer pleads with their lost love not to give up on them, to listen to their words and remember the depth of their feelings. They refuse to let go of the hope that they may be reunited someday, even as they feel the emptiness gnawing at them. The pain and longing in the lyrics are underscored by the soaring melody and powerful, emotional vocals.
Overall, Let You Go is a song that speaks to the universal experience of grief and loss. It captures the raw emotions that come with the end of a relationship, as well as the deep desire to hold onto what has been lost.

We began this dream together
We started this journey together
Now I wake up alone
But now, I am all alone
As the world passes by
The world keeps spinning
You're no where to be found, (you're no where to be found)
But you are not here anymore, nowhere around
Used to look to the sun for warmth
I used to find happiness in the bright side of things
Now I hide in the shadows
But now I am consumed with darkness
Hoping it won't find me
Hoping that my pain won't surface
To burn me up, (to burn me up)
And hurt me even more
I would give up all I have
I am willing to sacrifice everything that I own
Just to bring you back
Just to bring you back to life
Never knew that it'd be so hard
I never thought it would be so difficult
Not having you around
To live without you by my side
I dream of a place where you're here
I wish you can come back to me
Where I know that no one can take you
Where I can keep you safe from all harm
Away, (away)
Far away from me
From me
And away from my heart
Now I wish things would be changed
I wish that things were different
I wish she could be saved
I wish she could still be with me
I won't let you go
I refuse to let you go
I won't let you go
I won't let you leave me
Are you even listening?
Do you even hear me?
Please I take back everything
I take back all the times I was angry or upset
It still feels like it's just a dream
It still feels unreal
It feels like you never left
Like you are still here with me
All times and the memories we shared
All the moments we had together
They still live in me
They still stay with me
And now this place is fading fast
Things are changing too quickly
Take me back to where to
I want to go back to where we were
Where we started from
To where we began our journey
Oh tell me what to do, (oh tell me what to do)
I don't know what to do
Sometimes life takes everything we love the most
Life can be cruel sometimes
Sometimes it feels like the pain will never stop
Sometimes it feels like the hurting will never end
Why can't you stay right here?
Why can't you just stay with me?
Maybe one day I'll see
Maybe someday I'll understand
That you're still with me
That you are still a part of me
(I feel so empty)
I feel so alone and sad
(I wish I could go back in time and tell you how much I love you)
I wish I could go back and express my love for you
(but instead I'm here wishing that you were right next to me)
But all I can do now is just wish you were here
(I feel so empty)
I feel so lost without you
(I'm drowning, I'm drowning)
I feel like I am suffocating from sadness
