Let Go
Chresten Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You won't go where I go
You won't know what I know
I won't say what you say
It ain't me, anyway
'Cause I know, I'll be waiting
For me to start believing
That I will be free
Yeah

'Cause I'll pick myself up from the floor tonight
I'll pick me up alright
I wanna learn to fly
Yes, I'll pick myself up from the floor tonight
I'll pick me up alright
Gonna let go
Yeah, I'll let go

As I step through your steps
I can see what you see
And I won't disagree
But I know this ain't me
This is you and I just
Walk in your shoes
I feel lost
Yeah yeah yeah

'Cause I'll pick myself up from the floor tonight
I'll pick me up alright
I wanna learn to fly
Yes, I'll pick myself up from the floor tonight
I'll pick me up alright
Gonna let go
Yeah, I'll let go

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Come with me, take my hand
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Come with me, take my hand
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Come with me, take my hand
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Come with me, take my hand

Yes, I'll pick myself up from the floor tonight
I'll pick me up alright

Gonna let go
Yeah, I'll let go
