Let You Go
Denver Harbor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, I know it's been too long
Let me start by saying sorry
I know I was wrong
God knows that I've missed you
I've rode this train of thought for days
Prayed for forgiveness
And I've gone through the motion
Swam in an ocean of guilt so deep, it's broken me
But you know
The only thing I'll never do is let you go
Here's my shot at redemption
My hope for a second chance
You know if I could, then baby
I would take it back
They said it was over
Tell me that it can't be true
The words might kill me
I only wanna hear them from you
And I've gone through the motions
Swam in an ocean of guilt so deep, it's broken me
But you know
The only thing I'll never do is let you go
And I've gone through the motions
Swam in an ocean of guilt so deep, it's broken me
But I'll never replace my love
Never replace my love
No matter what, I'm never going to let you go
