Let me go
Chad Kroeger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love that once hung on the wall
Used to mean something, but now it means nothing
The echoes are gone in the hall
But I still remember, the pain of December

Oh, there isn't one thing left you could say
I'm sorry it's too late
I'm breaking free from these memories
Gotta let it go, just let it go
I've said goodbye
Set it all on fire
Gotta let it go, just let it go

You came back to find I was gone
And that place is empty, like the hole that was left in me
Like we were nothing at all
It's not that you meant to me
Thought we were meant to be

Oh, there isn't one thing left you could say
I'm sorry it's too late

I'm breaking free from these memories
Gotta let it go, just let it go
I've said goodbye
Set it all on fire
Gotta let it go, just let it go

I let it go, and now I know
A brand new life, down this road
Where it's right, you always know
So this time, I won't let go

There's only one thing left here to say
Love's never too late

I've broken free from these memories
I've let it go, I've let it go
And two goodbyes, lend you this new life
Don't let me go, don't let me go

Don't let me go, don't let me go, don't let me go

Won't let you go, don't let me go
Won't let you go, don't let me go




Won't let you go, don't let me go
Won't let you go, don't let me go

Overall Meaning

The song Let Me Go by Chad Kroeger revolves around overcoming a past love and all the pain that comes with it. He describes how a once great love has now been reduced to nothing more than an empty memory. The chorus emphasizes his desperate need to move on from this love that has caused him so much hurt. He knows it is time to let the memories fade away and let the painful past burn to the ground. He decides to move forward and forget what once was, rather than dwelling on the past.


The lyrics convey the message that even though relationships may come to an end, life goes on, and it is necessary to leave behind the memories and hurt so that one can move forward and start a new chapter. It takes courage and strength to let go, but it is necessary for the healing process. In the final verse, Kroeger accepts that he has let go of the past, and he is ready to embrace the future with open arms. He hopes to create a new life and maintain control of his future, rather than letting past hurts dictate his actions.

Love that once hung on the wall
Used to mean something
But now it means nothing
The echoes are gone in the hall
But I still remember
The pain of December

Oh, there isn't one thing left you could say
I'm sorry is too late

I'm breaking free from these memories
Gotta let it go, just let it go
I've said goodbye set it all on fire
Gotta let it go, just let it go

You came back to find I was gone
And that place is empty
Like the hole that was left in me
Like we were nothing at all
It's not what you meant to me
I thought we were meant to be

Oh, there isn't one thing left you could say
I'm sorry is too late

I'm breaking free from these memories
Gotta let it go, just let it go
I've said goodbye set it all on fire
Gotta let it go, just let it go

I let it go (and now I know)
A brand new life (is down this road)
And when it's right (you always know)
So this time (I won't let go)

There's only one thing left here to say
Love's never too late

I've broken free from those memories
I've let it go, I've let it go
And two goodbyes led to this new life
Don't let me go, don't let me go
Oh, Oh
Oh (don't let me go, don't let me go, don't let me go)

Won't let you go
Don't let me go
