Let Go
Brett Blondell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Verse 1:
You've been holding on
To everything you've done wrong.
And it's torn apart
Your broken heart,
For too long.

Pre-Chorus:
And you can't believe this could be happening.
All because you can't give it up,
Give it in.
You're not that tough.
You've reached the end.
And all you have is just not enough.

Chorus:
If you let go, let it all fade away.
You will make it through, to a better day.
Just stay strong.
Let love find a way to your heart.
And you'll see right where you belong.

Verse 2:
Tell yourself, "let it go".
But you know,
You never will.
It all comes crashing down,
To the ground.
Without a sound.

Pre-Chorus:
And you can't believe this could be happening.
All because you can't give it up,
Give it in.
You're not that tough.
You've reached the end.
And all you have is just not enough.

Chorus:
If you let go, let it all fade away.
You will make it through, to a better day.
Just stay strong.
Let love find a way to your heart.
And you'll see right where you belong.

Bridge:
Never lose sight of it.
Why you're here,
You're alive.
When it's hard to see the end,
The finish line.
And every time you're almost there.
Every time you almost won.
Hold on. (Hold on)

If you let go, let it all fade away.
You will make it through, to a better day.

Chorus:
Let go, let it all fade away.
You will make it through, to a better day.
Just stay strong.
Let love find a way to your heart.
And you'll see right where you belong.





Outro:
You belong.
