Darling
Jimmy Gnecco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I thought that I could save you with a song
I was wrong, so wrong
I thought that I could keep you when I'm gone
I was wrong, so wrong

Tonight I'm coming for you
So take all you can carry
Spend my life running for you
And darling, I won't let you go
Darling, I won't let you go

I wanted to believe in you
Because life was almost gone
I wanted to hear you say you were wrong
Because I was wrong for so long

Tonight I'm coming for you
So take all you can carry
Spend my life running for you
And darling, I won't let you go
Darling, I won't let you go

The seeds are in the grass
And when it seems like it will pass
It gets so strong it pulls you down
We're dying everyday that we're around

Did you know? Did you know?
That you'd gain so much control when you let go
That takes a man to know
And I know but darling, I won't let you go
Darling, I won't let you go

The seeds are in the grass
Seeds are in the grass




Darling, I won't let you go
Darling, I won't let you go
