let you go
Annelise Noronha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
My face was hot
I blushed with intense emotion during our last moments together
Your breath was sweet
You still had a lingering physical effect on me
And I hoped that you'd come back for me
Despite what you said, I still held onto the hope that you would return someday
