Sound Of Letting Go
David Guetta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is the point of no return
'Cause this is where we crash and burn
And now every time i face this pain
I can hear it coming back again
It's the sound of letting go.

It's the sound of letting go.
It's the sound of letting go.
It's the sound of letting go.
It's the sound of letting go.

Breaking up and breaking down
This is what we've come to now
What's the use we can't deny
Can't you hear it?
It's the sound of letting go.

We could go around all day
Fine excuses we can say
In the silence i can hear
Can't you feel it?
It's the sound of letting go.

It's getting louder and louder
What we gonna do?
It's getting louder and louder
Fillin' up the room.
I can hear it hear it
Comin' over us.

I can hear it tellin' me that we had enough

It's getting louder and louder
What we gonna do?
It's getting louder and louder
Fillin' up the room.
I can hear it hear it
Comin' over us.

It's the sound of letting go.
I know you can hear it.
It's the sound of letting go.
I know we can't deceive it.

I know you can hear it.
It's the sound of letting go.
I know we can't deceive it.
It's the sound of letting go.

I can't let it break me down
This is what we've come to now.
What's the use we can't deny (can't you hear it?)
It's the sound of letting go.

Every time i face this pain
I hear it coming back again
And i've been calling out your name (can't you hear it?)
It's the sound of letting go.

I can hear it.
I can hear it.
I can hear it.

It's the sound of letting go.
I can hear it
I can hear it
It's the sound of letting go.
I can hear it




I can hear it
It's the sound of letting go.
