Time For Letting Go
Billy Ray Cyrus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The song "Time For Letting Go" by Billy Ray Cyrus tells a story of two people who are in a relationship that has run its course. They have been holding back on saying what needs to be said and have been prolonging the inevitable. It's a song that brings to light the need to let go of things that no longer serve us in life. The lyrics paint a picture of a relationship that has lost its spark and the two parties involved need to move on.
The line "I've been holding back words and waiting for time" tells us that the singer has been thinking of what to say but has not found the best time to say it. The second line, "Cause there's a lesson here somewhere, I know it's mine" is a reflection of the experience the singer is going through. It shows that the singer knows there is something to learn from the situation, and they are open to learning it. The line "Promises don't justify feeling this way anymore" suggests that their promises to each other are not enough to keep the relationship going.
The chorus emphasizes how it's time to move on and face the reality of their situation. The line "No words could bring back your affection, and no lies could keep me holding on" emphasizes that it's time to let go of their unresolved issues and move on. The song overall delivers a message of acceptance of the situation and the importance of letting go.

I've been holding back words
I have been refraining from expressing my feelings
And waiting for time
And hoping for a better time to express them
Cause there's a lesson here somewhere
Because there is a lesson to be learned from this situation
I know it's mine
And I know that it's for me to learn
And though I'll remember the promise we made
Even though I will remember the pledge we made
Promises don't justify feeling this way anymore
Promises made in the past cannot excuse my present emotions
It's time for letting go
It's time to let go of the past and move on
We can't hide what we both know
We cannot conceal the truth from each other
But ooh, the hurt grows
But oh, the pain intensifies
Every time I think it's over
Every time I think it's finished for good
You've been keeping all your secrets inside
You have been keeping your secrets to yourself
I know the truth now baby
I know the truth now, my love
You don't have to hide, no no no
You do not have to conceal it any longer
But my mind wanders to the very first day
But my thoughts return to the day we first met
What a shame things had to turn out this way
It is a pity that things had to transpire this way
No words could bring back your affection
No words can reignite your feelings for me
And no lies could keep me holding on
And no falsehoods can make me stay
And holding on and holding on, yeah
And holding on, and holding on
And now I know it's time for letting go
And now I realize it is time to move on
It's time to realize
It's time to comprehend
That we're both just living lies
That we are both living in falsehood
And way down deep inside
And deep down inside
The time is telling me it's time for letting go
I can feel that the time has come to move on
Let it go
Release it
I keep telling myself over and over
I keep reminding myself repeatedly
But my love's still strong
But my love is still potent
I just can't keep holding on
I cannot keep holding onto this
And holding on and holding on
And holding on, and holding on
I know, oh I know
I know, oh, I understand

A very good version....Billy Ray gives it his touch and his voice is lovely in this video. Jude Cole made this song so beautiful to me! Never knew Billy Ray did it, but it should have been a HUGE COUNTRY HIT for him❤
