Don't Let Me Get Me
H.I.A.M. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Please don't let me go
Please don't let me go

I've seen days where the nights don't end
It seems strange as I used to call friend
How can I begin to trust in the fact that you never let me go?
Been left so many times
Felt like nobody could know the sound that my heart makes when it starts to break
And the pain that I hate waits for me every day
And yet I lie awake alive and still breathing
Hoping that this time in my life is just a season
Believe in the words you spoke to your people
How you never leave even though we couldn't see you
How you make us prosper even though we couldn't pay you back
Now there's nothing that I lack

Please don't let me go
If I can't have your love my heart's got nowhere to go
Only you can rescue me
Please don't let me go
I'll be lost inside a dying world just trying to find my home
It's with you
I belong
Please don't let me go

I remember the moments life was a blur
An adolescent spirit far from mature
I couldn't tell between a friend and a foe
So alone I remained
Looked to the sky for hope
It's hard to feel alive when you're cold
It's hard to reach the sky when you know
So light is hard to find in the storm
How can I give love if my soul's been torn?
A broken vessel
You call it a masterpiece
Now I can see how deep you are in love with me
Quite honestly I can't love me how you love me
But obviously there's something that you want from me
Cause you don't want to let me go
Owner of the world but you want my soul
My heart is crying out
Lord, please take control
I need you
I don't wanna let go

Please don't let me go
If I can't have your love my heart's got nowhere to go
Only you can rescue me
Please don't let me go
I'll be lost inside a dying world just trying to find my home
It's with you
I belong
Please don't let me go

And I'm seeing who I could be without you close to me
I can't recognize that person staring back at me
And you see how my heart breaks from the choices I have made
I know your love can take it all away

Please don't let me go
If I can't have your love my heart's got nowhere to go
Only you can rescue me
Please don't let me go
I'll be lost inside a dying world just trying to find my home
It's with you




I belong
Please don't let me go

Never thought that I would grow so old of seeing the gold
Still I never want it to go
I would hold it up to my cold heart
Feel the way it used to start up

Take me back, take, take
Take me back to the way that I was before
Hungry for what was to come
Now I'm longing for the way I was

You say you will, say you will save me
You say you will, say you will save me
You say you will, say you will save me
You say you will, say you will, oh-oh

Take me back
Give it up, give it up to me
Cause I can't go on
If your love isn't strong
See I wanna know
Give me, give me all your love
If you can't hold on
Then baby, baby don't save me now
(If your love isn't strong)
Baby, don't save me now
No, no

All my life I wasn't trying to get on a highway
I was wondering which way to go
Spending all of my damn time
Leaving all the weight behind you

Take me back, take take
Take me back to the song how it used to go oh-oh
Screaming for what was to come
Now I'm dreaming 'bout the way I was

You say you will, say you will save me
You say you will, say you will save me
You say you will, say you will save me
You say you will, say you will, oh-oh

Take me back
Give it up, give it up to me
Cause I can't go on
If your love isn't strong
See I wanna know
Give me, give me all your love
If you can't hold on
Then baby, baby don't save me now
(If your love isn't strong)
Baby, don't save me now
No, no

And if I have to beg for your love
(Again, and again and again)
Tell me, tell me
Oh, will it ever be enough?
(Again, and again and again)
Tell me, tell me
And if I have to beg for your love
(Again, and again and again)
Tell me, tell me
Oh, will it ever be enough?
(Again, and again and again)

So, baby don't save me
No, baby don't save me
Baby, don't save me now
(Again, and again and again)
(If your love isn't strong)
Baby, don't save me now
(Again, and again and again)
(If your love isn't strong)
Baby, don't save me now
(Again, and again and again)
(If your love isn't strong)
Baby, don't save me now
(Again, and again and again)
(If your love isn't strong)
Don't save me
(Again, and again and again)
Don't save me
(Again, and again and again)
