Let You Go
Everleigh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Going through pictures of you before your fight
The quiet eats away at my mind
Memories fade of the person you were all my life
All that I can do is run and hide
It's hard for me to let you go
All that I can do is run and hide
You'll always have part of my soul
I beg you
All alone
Wandering aimlessly
So come home
I'll get through
On my own
Wondering endlessly
It's been three years of saying that I'm fine
When escape from the darkness is so hard to find
Can't force the picture from my mind
Hollowed out and broken, life drained from your eyes
All that I can do is run and hide
It's hard for me to let you go
All that I can do is run and hide
You'll always have part of my soul
So come home
I beg you
All alone
Wandering aimlessly
So come home
I'll get through
On my own
Wondering endlessly
All that I can do is run and hide
Let you go
All that I can do is run and hide
Let you go
All that I can do is run and hide
It's hard for me to let you go
All that I can do is run and hide
You'll always have part of my soul
So come home
I beg you
All alone
Wandering aimlessly
So come home
I'll get through
On my own
Wondering endlessly
The lyrics of Everleigh's song "Let You Go" explore themes of loss, grief, and the struggle to move on after a loved one's departure or death. The song starts by setting a somber tone, describing the singer alone in a house, reminiscing about the person they have lost. The quietness around them amplifies their thoughts, making it difficult for them to let go of the memories and images of their past together.
The chorus reveals the deep emotional turmoil the singer is experiencing, as they admit the difficulty of letting go. Despite their efforts to move on, a part of their soul will always be connected to the person they have lost. They yearn for their return, begging them to come home. The feeling of loneliness is evident as the singer wanders aimlessly, feeling lost without their loved one's presence.
The second verse suggests that it has been three years since the person's departure or passing, and the singer has been trying to convince themselves and others that they are fine. However, the darkness still haunts them, and finding an escape seems almost impossible. The vivid image of their loved one's lifeless eyes reflects the devastation and heartbreak they feel, as if their own life force has been drained.
The chorus repeats, emphasizing the struggle to let go and the eternal connection between the singer and their lost loved one. The longing for the person's return remains, as they continue to navigate through life on their own, wondering endlessly about what could have been.
Overall, "Let You Go" portrays the grief and longing that accompany the loss of someone close to us. It captures the internal struggle of moving forward while still cherishing the memories and the unbreakable bond shared with the departed.

Alone in this house for another night
Feeling isolated and lonely in the same familiar space without you
Going through pictures of you before your fight
Looking at the memories captured in photographs, reminiscing about the person you used to be
The quiet eats away at my mind
The silence amplifies my thoughts and consumes my peace
Memories fade of the person you were all my life
The memories of the person you once were slowly diminish over time
All that I can do is run and hide
Feeling helpless and seeking refuge from the pain
It's hard for me to let you go
Struggling to accept and move on from your absence
You'll always have part of my soul
A piece of my essence will forever be tied to you
So come home
I desperately long for your return
I beg you
I plead with you
All alone
Lonely and without companionship
Wandering aimlessly
Lost and directionless
I'll get through
I will find a way to endure
On my own
Independently, without your presence
Wondering endlessly
Endlessly questioning and exploring possibilities
It's been three years of saying that I'm fine
For three years, I've been pretending that I'm okay
When escape from the darkness is so hard to find
Struggling to find a way to break free from the darkness
Can't force the picture from my mind
Unable to erase the image from my thoughts
Hollowed out and broken, life drained from your eyes
Emotionally empty and shattered, witnessing the loss of vitality in your eyes
Let you go
Release you from my grasp
So come home
Please return to me
You'll always have part of my soul
A permanent connection exists between us
I'll get through
I'll find the strength to overcome
So come home
Please come back
On my own
Independently, without your support
Wondering endlessly
Continuing to question and search without resolution
