Got To Let Go
Charlie Fink Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There’s only one thing I think you should know
You’ve got to be strong when the cold as the day
Got to realize when there’s nothing left to say
Good things come and go
One day you will know

You’ve got to let go, yeah you’ve got to let go
Yeah you’ve got to let go

When your night feels longer than the day
Love’s a wrecking ball and you’re in its way
Feels like everyone you know has close the door
Just don’t feel like keeping on, anymore
Got to make up your mind
Our wounds heal in time

You’ve got to let go, yeah you’ve got to let go
Yeah you’ve got to let go
Yeah you’ve got to let go

It’s a deadly revolver, it’s a deadly revolver
It’s a deadly revolver to your head
It’s a deadly revolver to your head




It’s a deadly revolver to your head
It’s a deadly revolver to your head

I found the lyrics that I believe, are correct:
Got To Let Go

You say you fallen in love and can’t let go
There’s only one thing I think you should know
You’ve got to be strong when they call it a day
Got to realise when there’s nothing left to say

Good things come and go
One day you will know

You’ve got to let go

When your night feels longer than the day
Love’s a wrecking ball and you’re in its way
Feels like everyone you know has close the door
Just don’t feel like keeping on, anymore

Got to make up your mind
Our wounds heal in time

You’ve got to let go

It’s a deadly revolver to your head.

Awesome song!
I think the lyrics actually say (3rd line): "You've got to be strong when they call it a day", but everywhere I check people seem to hear something else, ha.
