Let You Go
KEPIK & Conor Clinch Lyrics

Won't you tell me I'm a waste of time?
Asking for criticism, wondering if the singer is worth spending time on

Would you change your head or state of mind?
Wondering if the other person's thoughts and feelings could be different

And I'm sorry I keep changing mine
Apologizing for being indecisive and uncertain

And I've broken up this road
Acknowledging that the artist may have caused some pain or trouble in the relationship

Now paved like stepping stones
Describing the path that the relationship has taken, with clear and defined steps

Will you jump or let me go?
Asking if the other person will commit or leave the relationship

Won't you come here and make me sad?
Desiring an emotional connection, even if it's negative

Won't you come here and make me mad?
Desiring a passionate connection, even if it's tumultuous

'Cause I'm feeling nothing anymore
Expressing detachment and lack of emotion

I'm feeling nothing I adore
Acknowledging that the artist doesn't enjoy feeling numb

I'm wishing I could be much more than you could see
Expressing a desire to be understood and appreciated on a deeper level

When I let you go
Referring to the moment the artist ends the relationship

Don't you run away from destiny
Urging the other person not to avoid fate

Now the silence gets distilled in me
Describing the heavy and oppressive weight of silence and isolation on the singer

Like the whiskey I've been drinking
Comparing the emotional pain to the burn of alcohol

So much overthinking
Acknowledging that the artist may be overanalyzing the situation

And the cracks begin to show
Describing the beginning of the end, with faults and weaknesses becoming apparent

While I walk home in the cold
Painting a picture of loneliness and discomfort

Will you hold or let me go?
Asking the other person to either comfort and stay with the singer or let them go

And I don't wanna let you go
Expressing the artist's reluctance to end the relationship

And I'm sorry for all my mistakes
Apologizing for any wrongs done in the relationship

Let you go
Repeating the title phrase, emphasizing the central theme of the song

Don't you hide away from memories
Encouraging the other person to confront and engage with their shared past

All the places that we've made
Reflecting on the physical locations and spaces that were significant in the relationship

But it's all that's left to see
Implying that the memories are all that remain of the relationship

If you just hold on to me
Suggesting that the other person can save the relationship by staying connected to the singer

And you tell me that I'm wasting every single step I take
Acknowledging criticism and negativity from the other person

And the water is rising and I'm running in the rain
Metaphors for facing adversity and struggling to keep up

And it's pouring down my face
More imagery of being overwhelmed and distressed

And I wish I didn't wait to say
Regretting not speaking up earlier or communicating more effectively

'Cause I'm feeling nothing anymore
Repeating the earlier line, reinforcing the theme of emptiness and detachment

Let you go
Repeating the title phrase once more to end the song

Won't you come here and make me sad?
Repeating the request for a negative emotional connection

Won't you come here and make me mad?
Repeating the request for a passionate emotional connection

But I let you go
Repeating the final thematic phrase, emphasizing the act of ending the relationship
