Never Let It Go
Friends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To finally find out I'm not shatterproof
I felt secure in what I thought I knew
Guess I picked a bad time to not be over you
Maybe I've known it all along
So was it my fault?
With one more shot I wonder how we'd do
And I won't look back in anger, man
I wish you'd see me now
Well it's alright, just let me go
Well it's alright, just let me go
So you'll never have to say
That you loved me better another way
You left
Was used to having you around
Now I feel my body trembling
In a room absent of sound
And it's been so long
I forgot how to be alone
But still we built up these walls and all
Just to break them down
So I won't look back in anger
But I know that things will never be the same
Anyway
Well it's alright, just let me go
Well it's alright, just let me go
Just let me go
Just let me go
It's true and I
Miss you and I
Promised your mine
Rough year, lost time
Honestly, don't be here for me
You said no lies
Look down, high dive
Honestly, I won't be here for you
So you'll never have to say
That you loved me better another way
The lyrics to Friends At The Falls's song It's Alright Let Me Go tell a story of a person who has been holding on to their past with someone they loved, but ultimately realizes that they need to move on. The opening lines, "Holding onto all that we've been through, to finally find out I'm not shatterproof" sets the tone for the rest of the song. The person thought they were indestructible, but the realization hits that they are not. The lines, "I felt secure in what I thought I knew, guess I picked a bad time to not be over you," convey that the person thought they were ready to move on, but now they are not so sure.
As the song continues, the person realizes that they have always known that they needed to move on. They wonder if it was their fault that the relationship ended, and they think about giving it one more shot. However, in the end, they accept that it's time to let go and move on. The lines, "So you'll never have to say that you loved me better in another way" resonates with anyone who has been in a relationship that didn't work out the way they wanted it to.
The overall mood of the song is melancholic and contemplative. The singer is introspective and questioning, trying to figure out what went wrong in the relationship. The lyrics speak to the common experience of holding on to someone even when you know it's over and the struggle to let go.
Line by Line Meaning
Holding on to all that we've been through
Trying to hold on to the memories of our past relationship
To finally find out I'm not shatterproof
Realizing that I'm not invincible and that the relationship has affected me deeply
I felt secure in what I thought I knew
Feeling confident and comfortable in my understanding of our relationship
Guess I picked a bad time to not be over you
Regretting the fact that I'm not over the relationship yet
Maybe I've known it all along
Considering the possibility that deep down, I knew the relationship wouldn't last
So was it my fault?
Questioning whether I am to blame for the relationship ending
With one more shot I wonder how we'd do
Wondering how the relationship would have turned out if we had given it another chance
And I won't look back in anger, man
Choosing not to harbor anger or resentment towards the other person
I won't look back
Refusing to dwell on the past and what could have been
I wish you'd see me now
Wanting the other person to see how I've grown and changed since the relationship ended
Well it's alright, just let me go
Accepting that the relationship is over and asking the other person to move on
So you'll never have to say
Wanting to spare the other person any guilt or regret about the relationship
That you loved me better another way
Acknowledging that the other person may have loved someone else differently and that's okay
You left
Feeling abandoned by the other person when the relationship ended
Was used to having you around
Getting used to the other person's presence in my life
Now I feel my body trembling
Feeling physically and emotionally shaken by the breakup
In a room absent of sound
Feeling alone and empty after the other person has left
And it's been so long
Realizing that it's been a while since the relationship ended
I forgot how to be alone
Having trouble adjusting to being single again
But still we built up these walls and all
Having created emotional barriers in the relationship that are now being broken down
Just to break them down
Realizing that the walls we built were pointless and self-destructive
But I know that things will never be the same
Accepting that the relationship has permanently changed the dynamic between us
Anyway
Despite everything, life goes on
It's true and I
Admitting that my feelings for the other person are still there
Miss you and I
Longing for the other person and our past relationship
Promised your mine
Remembering the promises we made to each other during the relationship
Rough year, lost time
Reflecting on the difficulties and hardships of the past year since the relationship ended
Honestly, don't be here for me
Telling the other person that I don't need them to stick around
You said no lies
Acknowledging that the other person was honest with me during the relationship
Look down, high dive
Feeling like I'm taking a risk by moving forward without the other person
Honestly, I won't be here for you
Promising the other person that I won't interfere in their life either

In my opinion, ‘Emily’ wasn’t the right girl for Ross. That said, Rachel was completely wrong with going to London. Ross was wrong for making plans with Rachel at the airport in addition to saying her name.
ann
Mona was the right one
Beethoven Van
“I Ross take the EMILY” that gets me every time 😂😂😂
