Let Her Go
Beth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What if I wanted to break away
But what if I'm just scared
Of losing who I am
Of losing all I have
Cuz after all I thought I knew turned out to be wrong
And after all you meant to me I've had to let go
And still I think I see your face at every door
But then I stop and realise that you're forever gone
I'm struggling to remember
Your eyes, your smile the way that you laughed
And I can't see who you are
And I'm losing all that you were
Cuz after all I thought I knew turned out to be wrong
And after all you meant to me I've had to let go
And still I think I see your face at every door
But then I stop and realise that you're forever gone
And every time I look up at the stars
I know we'll never be apart
I can feel a connection with our hearts
As these tears fall
Cuz after all I thought I knew turned out to be wrong
And after all you meant to me I've had to let go




And still I think I see your face at every door
But then I stop and realise that you're forever gone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Beth's song Let Her Go express the feeling of being lost and uncertain after a breakup. The opening line suggests that the singer is considering leaving their current situation, but is held back by their fear of losing their identity and everything they have invested in it. The repetition of the lines "after all I thought I knew turned out to be wrong" and "and after all you meant to me I've had to let go" further emphasize the theme of loss and disappointment.


The singer struggles to remember the details of their former partner - their eyes, smile, and laugh - as they feel like they are losing them and their memories. However, in the chorus, the singer acknowledges that they will never truly be separated from their former partner, even as they accept that they are "forever gone." The final line of the song - "As these tears fall" - suggests that even as the singer accepts this reality, they are still grieving the loss of their relationship.
