Demi Lovato/Olly Murs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the door

The snow blows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation and it looks like I’m the queen
The wind is howling like the swirling storm inside
Couldn’t keep it in
Heaven knows I try

Don’t let them in, don’t let them see
Be the good girl you always had to be
Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know
Well now they know

Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold you back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the door
And here I stand
And here I’ll stay
Let it go, let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway

It’s funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me can’t get to me at all
Up here in the cold thin air I finally can breathe
I know left a life behind but I’m too relieved to grieve

Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold you back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the door
And here I stand
And here I’ll stay
Let it go, let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway

Standing frozen in the life I’ve chosen
You won’t find me, the past is all behind me
Buried in the snow

Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold you back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the door
And here I stand
And here I’ll stay
Let it go, let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway

Let it go
Here I stand
Let it go, let it go
Let it go

Line by Line Meaning

Let it go, let it go
Release the past and move forward


Can’t hold it back anymore
Unable to resist change any longer


Turn my back and slam the door
Closing the chapter on the past


The snow blows white on the mountain tonight
A picture of isolation and tranquility


Not a footprint to be seen
A lack of human interaction or involvement


A kingdom of isolation and it looks like I’m the queen
A depiction of the isolated situation


The wind is howling like the swirling storm inside
A reflection of internal turmoil


Couldn’t keep it in
Unable to contain the emotions any longer


Heaven knows I try
Despite the efforts made to hold back the emotions


Don’t let them in, don’t let them see
Keeping the emotions hidden from others


Be the good girl you always had to be
Continuing with the expectations set for oneself


Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know
Burying the emotions deep within


Well now they know
Finally expressing the true emotions


And here I stand
Facing the situation head-on


And here I’ll stay
Committing to the decision made


The cold never bothered me anyway
Unaffected by external factors


It’s funny how some distance makes everything seem small
The situation appears less significant with distance


And the fears that once controlled me can’t get to me at all
No longer held back by fear


Up here in the cold thin air I finally can breathe
A sense of freedom and relief


I know left a life behind but I’m too relieved to grieve
Moving forward without regret


Standing frozen in the life I’ve chosen
Feeling trapped in one's past decisions


You won’t find me, the past is all behind me
Detached from past experiences


Buried in the snow
Left behind and forgotten


Let it go
Release the past and move forward

I drew a broken heart
Right on your window pane
Waited for your reply
Here in the pouring rain
Just breathe against the glass




Leave me some kind of sign
I know the hurt won't pass, yeah
Just tell me it's not the end of the line
Just tell me it's not the end of the line




I never meant to break your heart
Now I won't let this plane go down
I never meant to make you cry
I'll do what it takes to make this fly, oh
You gotta hold on
Hold on to what you're feeling
That feeling is the best thing
The best thing, alright
I'm gonna place my bet on us
I know this love is heading in the same direction
That's up




You drew a question mark
But you know what I want
I wanna turn the clock, yeah
Right back to where it was
So let's build a bridge, yeah
From your side to mine
I'll be the one to cross over
Just tell me it's not the end of the line
Just tell me it's not the end of the line




I never meant to break your heart
Now I won't let this plane go down

The best thing, alright
I'm gonna place my bet on us
I know this love is heading in the same direction
That's up




Girl, I know we could climb back to where we were then
Feel it here in my heart
Put my heart in your hand
Well, I hope and I pray that you do understand
If you did, all you have to say is
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Lol that synchronised throwing though:
Demi: You ready?
Olly: Yeah it's raised in my hand.
Demi: Okay I've gotten it too. Don't smash it too hard or Mum'll wake up.
Olly: Alright. In 5..4..3..2..

Both vases crash.

Demi's mum: DEMI WHAT WAS THAT.
Olly: Quick, quick clean UP!

        TRADUÇAO: <3 <3 <3
                 
Eu desenhei um coração partido
Bem no parapeito de sua janela
Esperei por sua resposta
Aqui na chuva forte

Só respire contra o vidro
Me dê algum tipo de sinal
Eu sei que a dor não vai passar, é
Só me diga que não é o fim da linha
Só me diga que não é o fim da linha

Eu nunca quis partir seu coração
Agora, não vou deixar este avião cair
Eu nunca quis te fazer chorar
Vou fazer tudo o que puder para fazer isso voar

Oh, você tem que se apegar
Se apegar ao que sente
Este sentimento é a melhor coisa
Realmente, a melhor coisa

Eu vou apostar em nós
Eu sei que nosso amor está seguindo
Na mesma direção
Para cima

Você é um ponto de interrogação
Será que sabe o que eu quero
Eu quero virar a bússola, é
Para onde costumava apontar

Então, vamos construir uma ponte
Do seu lado para o meu
Serei eu a atravessar
Só me diga que não é o fim da linha
Só me diga que não é o fim da linha

Eu nunca quis partir seu coração
Agora, não vou deixar este avião cair
Eu nunca quis te fazer chorar
Vou fazer tudo o que puder para fazer isso voar

Oh, você tem que se apegar
Se apegar ao que sente
Este sentimento é a melhor coisa
Realmente, a melhor coisa

Eu vou apostar em nós
Eu sei que nosso amor está seguindo
Na mesma direção
Para cima

Garota, eu sei que podemos escalar
Para onde costumávamos ficar
Sinto aqui, em meu coração
E o coloco em suas mãos

Bom, eu espero e oro
Que você entenderá
Se entender, tudo o que precisa dizer é

Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Estou esperando por você
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah

Eu nunca quis partir seu coração
Agora, não vou deixar este avião cair
Eu nunca quis te fazer chorar
Vou fazer tudo o que puder para fazer isso voar

Oh, você tem que se apegar
Se apegar ao que sente
Este sentimento é a melhor coisa
Realmente, a melhor coisa

Eu vou apostar em nós
Eu sei que nosso amor está seguindo
Na mesma direção
Para cima
 SIMPLISMENTE PERFEITA <3 <3 <3
DEMI DIVA <3 ^-^
