Go
Anna Wise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Had to let you go
Now all you say, is "Baby stay, I'm available"
Had to let you go
Not this old fight on your wedding night
You already know I have to let you go
So put a way your sorry face I'll be on my way
Time for me to go
But I never wanna go it alone
All the seagulls circlin' round it's on!
This whole time I thought it was you, it's me
Meet me after dark in the trees, redo
Up the tension biting my tongue no more
Cuz I'll never be this young again
I used to love it
I used to love it, love it
I used to love it
I used to love it, love it
But you still love it
But you still love it, love it
But you still love it
But you still love it, love it
All up hill from here the atmosphere of your circle
Had to let you go
Used to fall, then you'd stall, made me feel small
Had to let you go
No dancing days knew your toxic ways couldn't help me grow
Had to let you go
I know that I will come out alive without you by my side
So I'm letting go
But I never wanna go it alone
All the seagulls circlin' round it's on!
No new friends to come back to this time
Got this tune for when it gets bad, withdrawl
Cut the tension biting my tongue no more
Cuz I'll never feel this low again
I used to love it
I used to love it, love it
I used to love it
I used to love it, love it
But you still love it
But you still love it, love it
But you still love it
But you still love it, love it
The song "Go" by Anna Wise is about letting go of a toxic relationship that was draining her energy and making her feel inferior. The singer talks about how she had to let go of her partner, who was always lying and had a big ego. Now, that person is begging her to stay, but the singer knows that she has to move on. Even though it's difficult, she knows she can't stay in this relationship because it's not going to make her happy.
In the chorus, Anna Wise sings about how she "used to love it," which could refer to the relationship that she had with her partner. She knows that they both still love each other, but she has to let go because it's not good for her. She doesn't want to be alone, but she knows that it's better to be alone than with the wrong person.
The second verse highlights how toxic the relationship was. Her partner made her feel small and didn't help her grow. She knows that she has to let go because she will come out alive without him by her side. The song ends on a positive note, with Anna Wise feeling good about the decision she made to let go.
