Letting Go
Ill Niסo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I still hear my voice
It's calling in my head
But if I had only one choice
I'd leave it left unsaid

Unsaid

I try to reach you but my senses got so blurry
And I, try to teach you but my words come out so muddied
And I, if there's one thing that I should let you know
It's go away
But I keep fighting and I'm finding your injustice

It's just killing me (killing you)
I cannot breathe
Just let me go (killing me)
Or this will break me

My inner voices
Are part of my disease
Cause it's pushing me to hurt you
But killing you is just killing me

If I can't have you and the dreams you put inside my head
I would not leave you but I keep you here until our death
You think it's over, there's a gun in my head full of lead

I want to use it but I can't abuse it and that's why

It's just killing me (killing you)
I cannot breathe
Just let me go (killing me)
Or this will break me

My inner voices
Are part of my disease
Cause it's pushing me to hurt you
But killing you is just killing me

What are you waiting for?
You will never get away
What are you waiting for?
You will not get away

What are you waiting for?
You will never get away
What are you waiting for?
You will not get away

(Unsaid)

My inner voices
Are part of my disease
Cause it's pushing me to hurt you
But killing me you just killing me





Cause killing you is killing me
