Let me go
Jacky Cheung Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

像前一天的事　我牽著你的手　你不掙脫　已是天大的溫柔
只可惜你的冷漠不夠　我一個人承受
苦著臉找微笑　比不上普通朋友

我曾經以為　最愛你的時候　我的眼淚可以像細水長流
流到我終於明白　屬於我的不用哀求
感情不是拿來忍受　美麗即將變醜陋

Let me go　Don't say no　給我一個繼續難過的理由
Let me go　Don't say no　給我一個放棄快樂的理由　Oh let me go

兩個人都自由的結局　難道不是你夢寐以求　OH OH OH
難道是我主動要分手　太荒謬　你還不夠

In Jacky Cheung's song "Let Me Go," the lyrics describe a relationship that has grown cold and distant. The opening lines describe a time when the singer and his lover were close, but his lover has since become cold and distant towards him. The singer is left to bear the pain of their relationship alone, and his attempts to bring back the warmth they once had are in vain. He realizes that his tears cannot bring back the love that once was and he is now seeking a reason to continue feeling sad and miserable in their relationship.

The song delves into the idea of what it means to love someone and whether it is worth enduring pain and suffering for that person. The singer believes that love should not be something to be endured but should bring happiness and joy. He begs his lover to let him go and not give him a reason to cling to something that is unhappy and unfulfilling.

Overall, "Let Me Go" is a poignant song that captures the pain of a relationship gone wrong, and the struggle to move on in spite of the love that once was. The lyrics make us wonder whether we should hold on to something that makes us sad or let go and move on in search of true happiness.
