Angie Vu Ha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I′m feeling like I need you right here
I'm rolling round turning back and forth eyes open
Can′t sleep I can't breath this cold air
You tell me I'm not worthy of your love
Tell me where it went wrong, what you′re thinking of
Just something that I gotta do
Its not us, its not me, its never gonna be you
Just something that I gotta do
Let me let you go
Let me let you go
I′m choking on the smoke that remains
Let me let you go
You're burning suffocating my veins
Let me let you go
Driving round town slow down reminiscing
I remember why I had to break free
Up and down back and forth
We can′t keep going round the same old circles I need
To tell you its not working, in my heart
I don't know where it went wrong, but it went too far
Its not us, its not me, its never gonna be you
Just something that I gotta do
Its not us, its not me, its never gonna be you
Just something that I gotta do
Let me let you go
Let me let you go
I′m choking on the smoke that remains
Let me let you go
You're burning suffocating my veins
Let me let you go
Let me let you, let me let you, go go go, go go go
Let me let you, let me let you, go go go, go go go
Let me let you go
Let me let you go
I′m choking on the smoke that remains
Let me let you go
You're burning suffocating my veins
Let me let you go
