Let It Be Me
Justin Jesso & Nina Nesbitt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you want me to
I'll tell the truth
'Cause sometimes you need it
I'll have your back
When it hurts to ask
When you get mad
And don't know the reason
For the days when it's hard to wake up
For the nights you don't fall asleep
For the times when you feel the greatest
And the world's sittin' at your feet
For the good, and the bad, and the ugly
And everything in between
You're gonna need somebody, hmm
So, let it be me
Let it be me
You're gonna need somebody
You're gonna need somebody
Let it be me
Let it be me
You're gonna need somebody
You're gonna need somebody
Let it be me (woah-oh-oh)
(Woah-oh-oh-oh)
You're gonna need somebody
You're gonna need somebody
I'll break the fall
When you need to fall
I'll take it all
So you won't feel it
I'll pick you up
Take you for a drive
When you wanna forget
And just feel alive
For the days when it's hard to wake up
For the nights you don't fall asleep
For the times when you feel the greatest
And the world's sittin' at your feet
For the good, and the bad, and the ugly
And everything in between
Gonna need somebody, oh
So, let it be me
Let it be me
You're gonna need somebody
You're gonna need somebody
Let it be me
Let it be me
You're gonna need somebody
You're gonna need somebody
Let it be me
(Woah-oh-oh)
(Woah-oh-oh-oh)
(You're gonna need somebody) You're gonna need somebody
(You're gonna need somebody) You're gonna need somebody
(Woah-oh-oh)
(Woah-oh-oh-oh)
(You're gonna need somebody) You're gonna need somebody
(You're gonna need somebody) You're gonna need somebody
Through the ups, and the downs, and the nothings
When you feel like you're missing that something
When you're feeling high, or coming down, I'll be around
I'll take the now, and the past, and the future
You can lose me, but I'll never lose you
When you're feeling high, or coming down
Let it be me
Let it be me
You're gonna need somebody
You're gonna need somebody
Let it be me
Let it be me
You're gonna need somebody
You're gonna need somebody
Let it be me
(Woah-oh-oh)
(Woah-oh-oh-oh)
(You're gonna need somebody) You're gonna need somebody
(You're gonna need somebody) You're gonna need somebody
Let it be me
(Woah-oh-oh)

(You're gonna need somebody) You're gonna need somebody
(You're gonna need somebody) You're gonna need somebody

The song "Let It Be" by Justin Jesso and Nina Nesbitt is a love ballad that expresses the desire for the singer to be there for their significant other through thick and thin. The opening verse presents a willingness to tell lies or the truth when desired by the other party, and to provide support and comfort when it's necessary. The verse also acknowledges that the reasons for difficult emotions may not always be clear, but the singer promises to stick around nonetheless.
The chorus repeats the phrase "let it be me" as a plea to the person they love to rely on them when in need. The second verse centers around the singer providing physical support and emotional solace during times of pain, and offering a break from reality when that's what the other person needs. The second chorus continues with the plea to let the singer be the one to provide comfort and support.
Overall, the song presents an image of a relationship built on trust, understanding and willingness to support each other no matter what. It's a pledge to be there, even when it's not easy, and a promise to do everything in their power to ease the pain and bring comfort to the other person's life.
