Let You Go
Ira May Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I walked by your house today
And I wonder how have you been
I remember sleeping in
When everybody else was sleeping
I used to thing I'm gonna be the one
I used to think I'm gonna be the one to end it

But life showed me better
Never took it use to what we had
What we had

So forgive me if I have taken you for granted
I couldn't imagine you'd let me go like that
I'm not heart broke, but I feel cold, I feel lost
I didn't realize how much it would cost
How much it would cost to let you go

You played such a fool
This game in the end
I'm the one to blame
I lied to you, I lied to myself
And now it's too late to turn it around

I used to thing I'm gonna be the one
I used to think I'm gonna be the one to end it

But life showed me better
Never took it use to what we had
What we had

So forgive me if I have taken you for granted
I couldn't imagine you'd let me go like that
I'm not heart broke, but I feel cold, I feel lost




I didn't realize how much it would cost
How much it would cost to let you go

Overall Meaning

The song "Let You Go" by Ira May is a powerful song about a lost love and the pain that the singer experiences when their partner decides to leave. The lyrics reveal the sadness and regret that the singer is feeling as she walks by her ex-partner's house and remembers the good times they shared. She muses on the fact that she had once believed that she would be the one to end the relationship, but now realizes that life had different plans. She admits that she took their love for granted, and now she is paying the price for her mistakes.


The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, as it expresses the singer's remorse and pain over letting go of the one she loved. She apologizes for taking them for granted and admits that she never thought they would end up leaving her. She feels cold and lost without them and realizes that the cost of letting them go was much higher than she had anticipated.


Overall, the song is a powerful reminder of the importance of appreciating the love we have in our lives while we still have it. It also speaks to the pain and regret that can come when we take that love for granted.
