Let You Go
Annelise Noronha Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can't keep pretending that you wouldn't go
That you might find a place in here
My tears were joy
My tears were sadness
My tears soaked through your shirt

And I was weeping while you were sleeping
And I couldn't hold you tight enough

I couldn't let you go

You kissed me hard
You kissed me softly
And you told me not to wait for you
My face was hot
Your breath was sweet
And I hoped that you'd come back for me

And I was weeping while you were sleeping
And I couldn't hold you tight enough
I couldn't let you go

And I was weeping while you were sleeping
And I couldn't hold you tight enough
I couldn't let you go

And I was weeping while you were sleeping

And I couldn't hold you tight enough
I couldn't let you go

Can't keep pretending that you wouldn't go
I can no longer deny that you will eventually leave me

That you might find a place in here
I know you hoped to stay with me, but you may not belong here forever

My tears were joy
Sometimes I cried tears of happiness when I was with you

My tears were sadness
Other times, my tears were from sadness and the thought of losing you

My tears soaked through your shirt
My emotions were so intense that my tears stained your clothing

And I was weeping while you were sleeping
I cried silently while you were peacefully asleep

And I couldn't hold you tight enough
I held onto you tightly, as if that would prevent you from leaving

I couldn't let you go
Despite knowing that you would eventually leave, I couldn't bring myself to let you go

You kissed me hard
Our goodbye kiss was passionate

You kissed me softly
At other times, you kissed me gently and tenderly

And you told me not to wait for you
You didn't want me to hold onto the hope of us reuniting in the future
