Letting Go
Hani and Kristine W. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Letting go's not easy, it takes some time
If I could change your heart the way you change your mind
How am I supposed to live without your love?
Tell me how

Letting go's not easy, it breaks your heart
And if I set you free, will you come back to me?
How am I supposed to live without your love?
Tell me how

Tell me, tell me, hey, come on, tell me
Tell me, tell me, hey, come on, tell me

Release me from this prison that I built inside my mind
Been holding on to you but you were never really mine
And when the night falls down around, I'm chasing shadows of doubt
I'm letting go of love and there is just no easy way out
And so I say

Letting go's not easy, it takes some time
If I could change your heart the way you change your mind
How am I supposed to live without your love?
Tell me how

Letting go's not easy, it breaks your heart
And if I set you free, will you come back to me?
How am I supposed to live without your love?
Tell me, tell me

Hey, come on, tell me how
Hey, come on, tell me how

Can't mend these open wounds, your words no longer heal
You've left me empty hearted and now I no longer feel
And I believed that we were real with a heart so full of faith
I'm letting go of love and now my fears I'll have to face
And I say

Letting go's not easy, it takes some time
If I could change your heart the way you change your mind
How am I supposed to live without your love?
Tell me, tell me how

Letting go's not easy, it breaks your heart
If I set you free, will you come back to me?
How am I supposed to live without your love?
Tell me how

Tell me, tell me, hey, come on, tell me
Tell me, tell me, hey, come on, tell me

Don't understand, I only want what's best for us
And to think 'bout the road ahead could be so dangerous
The winds of change have blown the future I can't see, no
And now there's anger that I feel just poisons me
And I gotta say

Letting go's not easy, it takes some time
If I could change your heart the way you change your mind
How am I supposed to live without your love?

Letting go's not easy, it breaks your heart
If I set you free, will you come back to me?
How am I supposed to live without your love?





Tell me, tell me, hey, come on, tell me
Tell me, tell me, hey, come on, tell me
