Don't Let Go
Alex Kinsey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Is it worth all the fighting?
Should I stay here tonight?
Cause I can't take the crying
I'm gonna go

It's like you made up your mind
With my heart on the line
And I'm tired of trying
All on my own

But tell me don't
Do it yet, don't let go no
Don't do it
Don't do it yet, don't let go no
Don't do it yet, don't let go no
Don't do it
Don't do it yet, don't let go

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Is this it? Is it over?
I miss your hair on my shoulder
It's like I don't even know you
Not anymore

Please just give me a reason
I'm not ready to leave yet
Do you really believe that
You're better alone?

But tell me don't
Do it yet, don't let go no
Don't do it
Don't do it yet, don't let go no
Don't do it yet, don't let go no
Don't do it
Don't do it yet, don't let go

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

I don't wanna fight, maybe no one's right
Maybe we should talk about it
I don't wanna fight, maybe no one's right
Maybe we should talk
I don't wanna fight, maybe no one's right
Maybe we should talk about it
I don't wanna fight, we both think we're right
I just wanna talk

But tell me don't
Do it yet, don't let go no
Don't do it
Don't do it yet, don't let go no
Don't do it yet, don't let go no
Don't do it
Don't do it yet, don't let go
Don't let go!

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Don't let go!

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh




Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Alex Kinsey's song "Don't Let Go" convey a sense of emotional turmoil and indecision within a relationship. The repetition of "oh oh oh" in the opening lines sets a mood of uncertainty and vulnerability. The singer questions whether the ongoing fighting in the relationship is worth it and contemplates leaving, feeling overwhelmed by the constant crying and strain on their heart. The decision to go seems final, but there is a pleading undertone, hoping for a reason to stay.


The chorus reflects a struggle with letting go completely. The singer urges their partner not to give up yet, emphasizing the fear and reluctance to end things definitively. There is a sense of desperation and a plea for reassurance that perhaps things can still be salvaged. The repetition of "Don't let go" reinforces the idea of holding on despite the difficulties faced in the relationship.


In the second verse, there is a longing for the familiarity and closeness that once existed in the relationship.

Despite the desire to stay, there is a realization that they may not be on the same page anymore, leading to a plea for a reason to continue fighting for the relationship.

The repetition of "I don't wanna fight, maybe no one's right" reflects a desire to find a middle ground and work through the challenges together. The song builds towards a hopeful plea to hold on, emphasizing the importance of communication and not giving up easily on the relationship.

Man your voice is literally a great presence. I really connect your feelings with mine. Thanks for such a masterpiece. Lots of love

@gracelim2891

I agree. I've been in a toxic relationship before, and for some strange reason I can't seem to get out of them... Rofl why am I addicted to getting hurt? I know this is crazy, but honestly I've been a fan of your music ever since you went on those shows on TV. I'm making a lot of my own music, and it helps when you're coming to terms with what you've been through and how it made you feel. (edit: not on my personal channel lol)
