Let Me Go
Alesso feat. Hailee Steinfeld Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We were sleepin' back to back
We know this thing wasn't built to last, yeah
Good on paper, picture perfect
Chased the high too far, too fast
Picket white fence, but we paint it black
(Ooh) and I wished you had hurt me harder than I hurt you
I've been hopin'
Somebody loves you in the ways I couldn't
Somebody's taking care of
All of the mess I made
Someone you don't have to change
I've been hopin'
Someone will love you, let me go
Someone will love you, let me go
I've been hopin'
Someone will love you, let me go
It's been some time, but this time ain't even
I can leave it in the past
But you're holdin' onto what you never had
Good on paper, picture perfect
Chased the high too far, too fast
Picket white fence, but we paint it black
(Ooh) and I wished you had hurt me harder than I hurt you
(Ooh) and I wish you wouldn't wait for me but you always do
I've been hopin'
Somebody loves you in the ways I couldn't
Somebody's taking care of
All of the mess I made
Someone you don't have to change
I've been hopin'
Someone will love you, let me go
Someone will love you, let me go
I've been hopin'
Someone will love you, let me go (go, go)
Someone will love you, let me go (go, go)
Someone will love you, let me go (go, go)
Someone will love you, let me go (go, go)
Someone will love you, let me go
I've been hopin'
Somebody loves you in the ways I couldn't
Somebody's taking care of
All of the mess I made
Someone you don't have to change
I've been hopin'
Someone will love you, let me go
The lyrics to Alesso and Hailee Steinfeld's hit song, Let Me Go, speak to the struggles of a failed relationship. The song begins with the acknowledgment that both partners made mistakes - one made plans while the other made problems. Though they may have initially seemed like a good match, it becomes clear that their relationship was not meant to last. They chased after the idea of a perfect relationship but ultimately failed to make it a reality.
The chorus addresses the idea of moving on and finding someone new to love. The singer wishes for the other person to find someone better suited for them, someone who will take care of them in ways that they couldn't. This desire is bittersweet as they also acknowledge the pain of letting go - the hope that someone will love the other person in a way they couldn't is also a recognition that they were unable to fully love and care for their partner.
The bridge repeats the sentiment from the chorus while adding in a sense of finality. The relationship may be in the past, but the other person is still holding onto it. They must let go in order for both parties to move on and find new love.
Overall, Let Me Go deals with the difficult reality of accepting a failed relationship and the pain of moving on. The lyrics capture the mix of emotions that come with letting go, including a desire for the other person to find new love while still holding onto the memories of the past.
