Let You Go
Darius James Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is there something else you want from me?
'Cause now I feel I'm not the man you want me to be
You say I'm vain, but when I look at myself
And the man that I became, I don't regret a thing
I'll take this time to reflect my energy
Move on by you, even though it pains my soul
I gotta let you go
The memories are killing me
And I don't wanna be someone else just to earn your love
Whatever you need, you deserve it entirely
Don't wanna be the cause of your burdens, no
So I gotta let you go
I just gotta let you go
I just gotta let you go
I just gotta let you go
I just gotta let you go
Who would've thought that we'd be here right now?
Sinkin' in my thoughts, thinking about it all
Remember when we was clicking, the chemistry never lost
Grandfather, the time, a scam to every mind
Forgetting that every second's a chance to build the bond
It's incredible, how you figure that you get it, when you never know
'Til she's finished, been a minute since you fed her soul
Kind words, her little heart needs everything you can give
She's begging you for the part
Feigning for reassurance
Love is the drug she aint get enough of growing up, had it tough
And now it's too late, too late, got a new bae, new bae
Why you getting mad? Sip the Kool-Aid you made ah
It's really nasty, funny how the current me is yelling at the past me
"Focus on the currency and run it like a track meet




4 Foot 9, put your feelings in the backseat"
'Cause they just get you caught up
