Let
Billy Ray Cyrus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a gold frame that sits by the window
And my heart breaks a little more each time I try
To picture the memory inside

There's an old book that's too hard to read it
But if you look you'd see how you look through me eyes
But now one more chapter's gone by, and I know
It's time to move on and even though I'm not ready
I've got to be strong and trust where you're heading
Even though it's not easy
Right now the right kind of love
Is a love that lets go, go

There's an old dance that we've done forever
You give me your hand but let decide when to reach
You always let me be me
But now's my time to take chances
And find my own wings
And whatever happens I know you'll be there waiting for me

It's time to move on and even though I'm not ready
I've got to be strong and trust where I'm heading
Even though it's not easy
I know the right kind of love
Doesn't wanna miss the future
By staying in the past
It will always hold on, but never hold you back
And even though it's not easy (it's not easy)
Right now the right kind of love
Is a love that lets go, go





It's time that I let you
With a love that lets go

Overall Meaning

The song "Let’s Go to the PBR" by Billy Ray Cyrus tells the story of a breakup and moving on. The first verse centers around a gold-framed picture by the window that represents a happy memory. However, the memory now brings a sense of sadness as the relationship has ended. There is also an old book that can no longer be read because it reminds the singer of how their partner used to see them. The chorus speaks to the idea that although it is difficult to let go, the right kind of love is one that allows both people to move on to their respective paths. The second verse talks about an old dance and the realization that it is time for the singer to take chances and find their own wings. While it may be hard to move forward, the right kind of love does not hold someone back from what they need to do.


The song is powerful in its relatability, as many people have been through a breakup and struggled to move on. The imagery of the gold-framed picture and the old book add to the emotionality of the lyrics. Overall, the song encourages listeners to embrace the changes that come with a breakup and to trust that the right kind of love will not hold them back.


Line by Line Meaning

There's a gold frame that sits by the window
There's a picture that reminds me of our memories


And my heart breaks a little more each time I try
I feel emotional pain every time I think about it


To picture the memory inside
To imagine what we used to have


There's an old book that's too hard to read it
There are old feelings that are difficult to deal with


But if you look you'd see how you look through me eyes
But if you could understand my perspective, you'd see how tough it is


But now one more chapter's gone by, and I know
But now another period of time has passed, and I'm aware that I need to move on


It's time to move on and even though I'm not ready
It's necessary to continue with life even though I am not mentally prepared


I've got to be strong and trust where you're heading
I need to have strength and believe that you're moving in the right direction


Even though it's not easy
Even though it's difficult for me to accept


Right now the right kind of love
At present, the appropriate type of love


Is a love that lets go, go
Is to release, to let go of the past


There's an old dance that we've done forever
We've had a routine for the longest time


You give me your hand but let decide when to reach
You support and guide me but let me make my own decisions


You always let me be me
You encourage me to be myself


But now's my time to take chances
But now is the moment for me to take risks


And find my own wings
And establish my own path


And whatever happens I know you'll be there waiting for me
And regardless of what occurs, I know you'll always be supportive and dependable


It's time to move on and even though I'm not ready
It's necessary to continue with life even though I am not mentally prepared


I've got to be strong and trust where I'm heading
I need to have strength and belief in the direction I'm going


I know the right kind of love
I recognize the proper type of love


Doesn't wanna miss the future
Doesn't want to overlook what's coming


By staying in the past
By dwelling on past events


It will always hold on, but never hold you back
Love will always be present but will never hinder progress


And even though it's not easy (it's not easy)
And although it's difficult (it's challenging)


Right now the right kind of love
At present, the appropriate type of love


Is a love that lets go, go
Is to release, to let go of the past


It's time that I let you
It's time that I release you


With a love that lets go
With unburdened love

I've been holding back words
And waiting for time
Cause there's a lesson here somewhere
I know it's mine
And though I'll remember the promise we made
Promises don't justify feeling this way anymore
It's time for letting go
We can't hide what we both know
But ooh, the hurt grows
Every time I think it's over
You've been keeping all your secrets inside
I know the truth now baby
You don't have to hide, no no no
But my mind wanders to the very first day
What a shame things had to turn out this way
Oh, it's time for letting go
We can't hide what we both know
But ooh, the hurt grows
Every time I think it's over
No words could bring back your affection
And no lies could keep me holding on
And holding on and holding on, yeah
And now I know it's time for letting go
We can't hide what we both know
But ooh, the hurt grows
Every time I think it's over
It's time to realize
That we're both just living lies
And way down deep inside
The time is telling me it's time for letting go
Let it go
I keep telling myself over and over
Let it go
But my love's still strong
I just can't keep holding on
And holding on and holding on
I know, oh I know
