Let me go
Avril Lavigne / Chad Kroeger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Used to mean something, but now it means nothing
The echoes are gone in the hall
But I still remember, the pain of December
Oh, there isn't one thing left you could say
I'm sorry it's too late
Gotta let it go, just let it go
I've said goodbye
Set it all on fire
Gotta let it go, just let it go
You came back to find I was gone
And that place is empty, like the hole that was left in me
Like we were nothing at all
It's not that you meant to me
Thought we were meant to be
Oh, there isn't one thing left you could say
I'm sorry it's too late
I'm breaking free from these memories
Gotta let it go, just let it go
I've said goodbye
Set it all on fire
Gotta let it go, just let it go
I let it go, and now I know
A brand new life, down this road
Where it's right, you always know
So this time, I won't let go
There's only one thing left here to say
Love's never too late
I've broken free from these memories
I've let it go, I've let it go
And two goodbyes, lend you this new life
Don't let me go, don't let me go
Don't let me go, don't let me go, don't let me go
Won't let you go, don't let me go
Won't let you go, don't let me go
Won't let you go, don't let me go
Won't let you go, don't let me go

Love that once hung on the wall
There was a time when our love was strong and present, we celebrated it publicly
Used to mean something, but now it means nothing
That love is now worthless, and has lost all significance
The echoes are gone in the hall
The memories of that love have faded away over time
But I still remember, the pain of December
The heartache from the end of that love still lingers on, even though it happened in December
Oh, there isn't one thing left you could say
I have heard every excuse or explanation there is, and they all fall short
I'm sorry it's too late
It's too late to try and make things right now, apologies won't fix the damage done
I'm breaking free from these memories
I am finally starting to move on from the hurtful memories of that love
Gotta let it go, just let it go
It's time to release the past and move forward
I've said goodbye
I have made a decision to let go and move on
Set it all on fire
I am symbolically burning the bridge to that past love, and all the negative emotions associated with it
You came back to find I was gone
You tried to come back into my life, but I had already moved on and left that love behind
And that place is empty, like the hole that was left in me
The void created by the end of that love remains, just like the emptiness of the place we once shared
Like we were nothing at all
The love we had seems so meaningless and insignificant now
It's not that you meant to me
You never really understood the depth of my emotions, or how much that love meant to me
Thought we were meant to be
I had believed that we were destined to be together, but that was not the case
Love's never too late
There is always a chance for love to come back around, even if it may seem like it's too late
I've broken free from these memories
I have finally been able to let go of the painful memories and emotions associated with that past love
And two goodbyes, lend you this new life
Saying goodbye to that past love has given me the opportunity to start a new life
Don't let me go, don't let me go
I am pleading with my current love to not let me go, and to value this new love that I have found
Won't let you go, don't let me go
I am determined to hold onto you, and asking for the same in return
Won't let you go, don't let me go
I am reiterating my commitment to not let go of this new love, and hoping for the same from my partner
Won't let you go, don't let me go
One final plea to not let go of each other, and to hold onto this newfound love

Love that once hung on the wall
Used to mean something
But now it means nothing
The echoes are gone in the hall
But I still remember
The pain of December
Oh, there isn't one thing left you could say
I'm sorry is too late
I'm breaking free from these memories
Gotta let it go, just let it go
I've said goodbye set it all on fire
Gotta let it go, just let it go
You came back to find I was gone
And that place is empty
Like the hole that was left in me
Like we were nothing at all
It's not what you meant to me
I thought we were meant to be
Oh, there isn't one thing left you could say
I'm sorry is too late
I'm breaking free from these memories
Gotta let it go, just let it go
I've said goodbye set it all on fire
Gotta let it go, just let it go
I let it go (and now I know)
A brand new life (is down this road)
And when it's right (you always know)
So this time (I won't let go)
There's only one thing left here to say
Love's never too late
I've broken free from those memories
I've let it go, I've let it go
And two goodbyes led to this new life
Don't let me go, don't let me go
Oh, Oh
Oh (don't let me go, don't let me go, don't let me go)
Won't let you go
Don't let me go
