Don't Let Go
Jr. Willow Wilson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I trusted you with my things with my life you know
Wanted to give us a try and break down the code
But what everyone thought will never be
You keep acting eighteen,
I trusted you now I have doubts
I welcomed you in my house
Don't make me regret, oh hey hey hey
Don't let me down, don't let me down,
Turn it around, don't be dramatical
You have no grounds, you're not safe and sound,
There is no bound, you're so irrational
I will not drown, I'll stand my ground, don't let me down, don't be so radical
There is no good path laid down for you and me
Love is blind but what you've done can't be unseen
This is risky no sense in going on
Falling apart has just begun
But I need for the world to see
I'm standing tall, I'll be fine you'll see
Please grow up, there is so much I regret, oh hey hey hey
Don't let me down, don't let me down,
Turn it around, don't be dramatical
You have no grounds, you're not safe and sound,
There is no bound, you're so irrational
I will not drown, I'll stand my ground, don't let me down, don't be so radical
Don't let me down, don't let me down,
Turn it around, don't be dramatical
You have no grounds, you're not safe and sound,
There is no bound, you're so irrational
Don't let me down
Turn it around




You have no grounds
There is no bound, you're so irrational

@@barrywhite5502 There we go. Sow more division. Exactly what this country needs. And I agree with you. He’s a Hollywood leftist living in New York. But division and comments like yours are what is tearing this great nation apart.
