Learning To Let Go
Corey Crowder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So before you pack your things and go, theres one last thing that I want you to know.
You cant find happiness if you wont let go.
We can agree on one thing. You cant fight fate with fate. We had a good love, but its seen its last day. When opportunity knocked you had to answer the call. Now those clouds on that sunny day have all blown away.
Open your eyes. Youre bound to get hurt sometime
The lyrics of Corey Crowder's "Learning to Let Go" are about the struggle of accepting that a relationship has come to an end, and the importance of moving on despite the pain. The opening lyrics express the singer's concern about repeating past mistakes, despite his desire to move on. He acknowledges that everyone makes mistakes, but it's essential to learn from them to live a fulfilling life. However, after the relationship ends, there's a hesitation to let go, and the singer is asking whether it's worth it. He urges his partner to find happiness by letting go and moving on.
The chorus is the crux of the song, where the singer stresses that one can never find happiness if they refuse to let go. There's a sense of finality as Crowder accepts that the couple's love has come to an end. He notes that they can both agree that it's time to move on and that no amount of fighting fate can alter that. He suggests that it's time to take the opportunity to part ways gracefully, even though it may hurt. It's a song that encourages letting go of someone you love, but may not be good for you, and learning to move on despite the pain it brings.
