Letting You Go
Bullet for My Valentine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't understand
Just why you wanna keep my guessing?
What I've done or what I've said to make
Make you feel this way
I get the feeling this is never getting any better
Seems to me we need to draw a line for everybody's sake
Before it washes us away
First you wanna hate me
Then you wanna love me
This is how I'm feelin'
I'm just letting you know
Don't wanna hear it, I ain't gonna fake it
This is how I'm feelin'
Now I'm letting you go
Coldest heart I've ever known
Now I'm better off alone
First you wanna love me
Then you wanna hate me
This is how I'm feelin'
Now I'm letting you, letting you go

So I know this hasn't gone the way that we expected
You had to try to make a fool of me and live a better days
I tried to compromise with open arms but we're disconnected
Seems to me we need to draw a line for everybody's sake
Before it washes us away

(First you wanna hate me)
First you wanna hate me
Then you wanna love me
This is how I'm feelin'
I'm just letting you know
Don't wanna hear it, I ain't gonna fake it
This is how I'm feelin'
Now I'm letting you go
Coldest heart I've ever known
Now I'm better off alone
First you wanna love me
Then you wanna hate me
This is how I'm feelin'
Now I'm letting you, letting you go

Letting you, letting you go
Now I'm letting you, letting you go

First you wanna hate me
Then you wanna love me
This is how I'm feelin'
I'm just letting you know
Don't wanna hear it, I ain't gonna fake it
This is how I'm feelin'
Now I'm letting you go
Coldest heart I've ever known
Now what matter what we've known
First you wanna love me
Then you wanna hate me
This is what I'm feelin' now

First you wanna hate me
Then you wanna love me
This is how I'm feelin'
I'm just letting you know
Don't wanna hear it, I ain't gonna fake it
This is how I'm feelin'
Now I'm letting you go

Coldest heart I've ever known
Now I'm better off alone
First you wanna love me
Then you wanna hate me




This is how I'm feelin'
Now I'm letting you, letting you go

It hurts to let go of someone you love but hurts worse hanging on to someone who doesn’t know you or love you. 😞 I finally got the picture and you lost me.

@steellegion1490

Fuck em.dude , that bitch doesnt deserve you. I had to bury feelings that weren't deserved too it's not fair but it has to happen.

@CinaMoon29

@@steellegion1490 says there’s two comments above yours but won’t let me read them. But yeah still in the same boat two years later. Same person. Betrayal sucks.

@howardcraigiv518

Keep your head held high. Never let another individual bring you down. Love is not something one should go searching for, allow it to come into your life. One day all your dreams will come true and someone special will come into your life when you least expected it. I thought for many many years and many bad relationships that i would never met someone that gave the same love as i and out of no where i had the most amazing person come into my life out of no where. That was 4 years ago and things couldn’t be any better.
Keep your head held high and dont let anyone ever hold on to you just because it feels right. Some say true love is the hardest thing to find on this earth. But when you do find it, it is the best feeling you will ever feel. So just keep doing you and keep your head up. As long as your living a good healthy life, great things will come your way. Do not ever forget that
