Let Her Go
Adele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have loved you all my life
How did it slow down, I go round and round
Thinking about it all the time
I gave you heaven on a platter baby
I gave you everything you never gave me
I never lied and I never faked it
This love, it ain't over yet
There's too much that I haven't said
Did you find the note that I wrote?
I hid it in the seam of your coat
It was hard to write with a lump in my throat
Do you even know that I can't let go
Why were you so cold, let the truth be told
Tell me was it all for the thrill?
What was I thinking, I gave you everything
But you still went for the kill
I gave you heaven on a platter baby
I gave you everything you never gave me
I never lied and I never faked it
Only wanted for you to save me
Did you find the note that I wrote?
I hid it in the seam of your coat
It was hard to write with a lump in my throat
Do you even know that I can't let go
Ooh sometimes I feel like I'm in the dark
Ooh I thought I'd die in your arms
Did you find the note that I wrote?
I hid it in the seam of your coat
It was hard to write, I had a lump in my throat
Do you even know that I can't let go
Hope you know, I won't let go
The lyrics of Adele's song "Can't Let Go" is an emotional exploration of a past relationship. The song appears to depict the singer's confusion over the end of a relationship, unsure of when and how things went wrong. The lyrics express a sense of desperation, as the singer goes round and round in their thoughts, attempting to find closure. The singer's love for the person is evident in the first few lines of the chorus, where she sings, "This love, it ain't over yet, there's too much that I haven't said." It's clear that the singer sees the relationship as a source of unresolved issues and potential.
The bridge of the song provides more context to the situation, as the singer talks about the letter she wrote, but never sent to the person she's addressing. The letter is significant because it shows the singer's vulnerability and willingness to express her feelings in a way that is uncomfortable for her. The act of hiding the letter in the seam of the person's coat shows a level of desperation, indicating how much the singer needs the other person to know how she feels.
Throughout the song, Adele's vocals capture the emotions of the lyrics perfectly, as always. Adele's vocal performance heightens the song's intensity, giving it more impact and meaning. The lyrics of the song are relatable to anyone who has been in a relationship and experienced heartbreak.

When did it go wrong, I will never know
I have no idea when our love fell apart
I have loved you all my life
I have cherished you ever since the day I was born
How did it slow down, I go round and round
I keep wondering how our love diminished and can't stop thinking about it
Thinking about it all the time
The thoughts of losing you never leave my mind
I gave you heaven on a platter baby
I provided you with everything you needed without reservation
I gave you everything you never gave me
I gave you my all while you failed to reciprocate the same way
I never lied and I never faked it
I was always truthful and sincere
Only wanted for you to save me
I only hoped you'd help me get through tough times
This love, it ain't over yet
I still believe that our love story is not yet over
There's too much that I haven't said
I feel like I haven't fully expressed my feelings
Did you find the note that I wrote?
Have you come across the note I left for you?
I hid it in the seam of your coat
I put it in the pocket of your coat
It was hard to write with a lump in my throat
I was emotional and was almost choking when I wrote it
Do you even know that I can't let go
Don't you realize that I'm still holding on?
Why were you so cold, let the truth be told
Why were you so unresponsive? Tell me the truth.
Tell me was it all for the thrill?
Did you only use me to gratify your own desires?
What was I thinking, I gave you everything
I can't believe I gave you everything without fully thinking about it
But you still went for the kill
You still ended up hurting me despite my love for you
Ooh sometimes I feel like I'm in the dark
I feel clueless and left in the dark about our relationship
Ooh I thought I'd die in your arms
I believed I'd spend the rest of my life with you
Hope you know, I won't let go
I hope you realize that I won't give up on us easily

Lyrics ❤
Just the guitar, okay, cool
This was all you, none of it me
You put your hands all over my body and told me, mmm
You told me you were ready
For the big one, for the big jump
I'd be your last love, everlasting, you and me, mmm
That was what you told me
I'm giving you up
I've forgiven it all
You set me free
Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more
Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more
I was too strong, you were trembling
You couldn't handle the hot heat rising (rising), mmm
Baby, I'm still rising
I was running, you were walking
You couldn't keep up, you were falling down (down), mmm
There's only one way down
I'm giving you up
I've forgiven it all
You set me free, oh
Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We've both know we ain't kids no more
Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more
If you're ready, if you're ready
If you're ready, I am ready
If you're ready, if you're ready
We both know we ain't kids no more
No, we ain't kids no more
I'm giving you up
I've forgiven it all
You set me free
Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more
Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more
If you're ready, if you're ready (send my love to your new lover)
If you're ready, are you ready? (Treat her better)
We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more
If you're ready, if you're ready (send my love to your new lover)
If you're ready, are you ready? (Treat her better)
We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more

I have written a poem about our one and only Adele,
In realms where melodies softly sway,
There dwells a voice, a radiant ray,
A songbird, born of humble hue,
Yet with a gift that deeply grew.
Her name, a whisper on the breeze,
In every heart, she finds her ease.
Adele, the muse of soulful fire,
Her notes ignite, never to tire.
From London's streets, her tale unfurls,
A journey marked with countless pearls.
With every lyric, she unveils,
The joys, the sorrows, the heartfelt tales.
In "Rolling in the Deep," she roars,
A tempest unleashed, breaking shores.
With "Someone Like You," she tenderly weaves,
A tapestry of longing, hearts she cleaves.
Through "Hello," echoes of regrets,
Resonate in souls, the heart besets.
Yet hope still blooms in melodies bright,
As Adele sings of love's pure light.
Her voice, a vessel for the soul,
Through highs and lows, it takes its toll.
But in each strain, resilience found,
A testament to depths profound.
So let us raise our voices high,
To Adele's spirit, soaring nigh.
In her songs, we find our own refrain,
A symphony of joy, of loss, of pain.
For in her music, we're all akin,
Bound by the threads of what's within.
In every note, a story told,
Adele's legacy, forever bold.
I love you Adele more then myself....
