Let It Be
Brooke White Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now that I can realize
You pulled the wool over my eyes
So many times
It's hard for me to recognize

And I was so mesmerized
By your master of disguise
Now it's clear to me
There's another man that I didn't see

And you'd think by now
I could figure out somehow
Still, with all that I know
I can't tell myself no

I don't want to let it go
Even though it's wrong, I know
Cause I still love you so
Oh no no, no, no no
I don't want to let it go

Wrapped up in illusions
My head full of confusion
How did I let it come to this?
Was there something that I missed?

You wanted me to need you
You wanted me to breath you in
Each second of my life
Now I forgot you don't seem right

But that's how it goes
When you give up control
To your heart and your soul
I should want it back, but I don't

I don't want to let it go
Even though it's wrong, I know
Cause I still love you so
Oh no noâ?¦ no, no no

And I don't want to let it go
No, I don't
But I won't live like this anymore
Walking 'round in the clouds
Now it's time to come down

I don't want to let it go
Even though it's wrong, I know
Cause I still love you so
Oh no noâ?¦ no, no no
I don't want to let it go
No, no, no
I don't want to let it go





I don't want to
I don't want to let it go
