Let You Go
Fuzz and Mac Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've got a hold on me
And I cannot breathe
No it's killin me, oh
It's time to let go, let go
Let go of me now
Your holding me, but lately I feel empty
You crossed the line, like tic tac toe
You played me twice now I'm alone
So it seemed, you were my queen, I was your king
Right by my side, you were in control
You took my nights, I watched them go
I watched them, go
Piece by piece I taste defeat
They check on me when I am weak
I used to chase my own dreams
Now I can hardly move my feet
And when I do
It's not too far outside my room
So in this castle surrounding me
Is where I'll be incase our we becomes just me
You've got a hold on me
And I cannot breathe
No it's killin me, oh
It's time to let go, let go
Let go of me now
"Do you remember when you and I were on the same team
But for some reason it never felt like we were
I think that's cause back then
Back then I couldn't see through you
But the entire time you could see through me"
That's real
I got an X beside your name
While you got O's inside your bank
I dig my grave with my own spade
I'll pierce my heart with my own blade
So much weight on both my shoulders
Had no luck with four leaf clovers
All I wanted was some closure
I'll roll the dice to keep you closer
Go ahead and trash my albums
I'm romeo with no jewel yet
If I'm the scorpio tell me howcome
Your the one askin "whose next"
Actin like I didn't know the outcome
All I can do is, pay respects
Head spinning as I load my gun
It's what I get playin roulette
You've got a hold on me
And I cannot breathe
No it's killin me, oh
It's time to let go, let go
Let go of me now
You've got a hold on me
And I cannot breathe
No it's killin me, oh




It's time to let go, let go
Let go of me now
