Never Let Her Go
Florida Georgia Line Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With a blanket down, lookin' up at the starry sky
So in love that goodnight kiss never felt so sweet
Didn't know that'd be the last there'd be
But like the leaves, on an autumn tree
When the summer's gone, so was she
She had my heart
Now all I've got
Is her memory
Where she is now
I just don't know
How she got gone when I never let her go
I just know she's out there somewhere
Livin' life with no regrets
I wish I could say the same for me
But I ain't got there
She had my heart
At seventeen
Man I fell so hard
I lost everything
Where she is now
I just don't know
How she got gone
She had my heart
At seventeen
Now all I've got
Is her memory
Where she is now
I just don't know
How she got gone when I never let her go
Never let her go
It was late July in that photograph
I could see her smile, hear her laugh
The lyrics of Florida Georgia Line's song "Never Let Her Go" tell a story of a young couple in love. The singer reminisces about a summer night spent lying on a blanket, looking up at the starry sky with his girlfriend.

He uses the analogy of the leaves falling from an autumn tree to describe how his girlfriend disappeared from his life when the summer ended. He is left with only her memory and the regret of never being able to let her go.
The song captures the bittersweet nostalgia of young love and the pain of losing someone you care about. The lyrics are poignant and emotional, reminding us of the importance of cherishing the people we love and letting them know how much they mean to us.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's pain and regret at never being able to find his girlfriend again. He doesn't know where she is or what happened to her, and he is haunted by the thought that he never let her go.
