Never Let You Go
Keenan Te Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somebody once told me
Don’t let your heart break now
I should’ve listened then
Right now it kills me to think about you
I wish that I didn’t care

I tried my very best
But I can’t seem to forget
Didn’t know it would be this hard cos I know
I miss you now and I wish that you were still here (here)

Do you think that there is possibility?
That we go back pretend that we’re just meeting
Cos I think maybe we should
Try to figure it out
So can we start over now?

I wish I didn’t love you, it’d be easier
I wish you didn’t turn around and say that you were done
I wish I knew what I know now
Cos if I had known
I would never let you go

It’s killing me to leave
But it’ll hurt to stay
That’s what you said when you threw it all away
I know I wasn’t perfect but I was trying

Do you think that there is possibility?
That we go back pretend that we’re just meeting
Cos I think maybe we should
Try to figure it out
So can we start over now?

I wish I didn’t love you, it’d be easier
I wish you didn’t turn around and say that you were done
I wish I knew what I know now
Cos if I had known
I would never let you go

I wish that I could take back everything that I said
I wish that I could forget about you in my head
I wish I knew what I know now
Cos if I had known
I would never let you go
Never let you go
Never let you go

I wish I didn’t love you, it’d be easier
I wish you didn’t turn around and say that you were done
I wish I knew what I know now
Cos if I had known
I would never let you go
Never let you go





Should’ve never let you go

for someone like me who seems to be lost, tired and weighted down by the world. This song means a lot to me, considering it says a lot for two important people in my life. I really wish I never let go... because if I knew then I wouldn't be in this pain and heartache. I'm just hoping that in the end of all this pain, someone out there gives me a chance to love them back.
