Way you trying to hurt me?
Oui say I don't mesure up
Can't you see that I'm starving
Standing by you as you watch me wasting way
You keeping be in yout party
They say thet ...don't fade
Distroy me, or make me hold
Is that simple as that either do or you don't
Take me forever or leave me alone
Just love me or let me go ort let me go
Caught in the middle, somehting I can't it's the ...
And this way it ends now
Between rock and hunting days
Can't you see that I'm starving
Standing by you as you watch me wasting way
You keeping be in yout party
They say thet ...don't fade
Took me or let me go
Distroy me, or make me hold
Is that simple as that either do or you don't
Take me forever or leave me alone
Just love me or let me go ort let me go
I have to chose the best or the worst
Is that what you give me
At all that is last, I never feel, the deeper surrending
Love me or let me go
Love me or let me go
Love me or let me go
cuz I don't wanna hurt no more
Love me or let me go
Love me or let me go
Love me or let me go
cuz I don't wanna hurt no more
Love me or let me go
Distroy me, or make me hold
Is that simple as that either do or you don't
Take me forever or leave me alone
Just love me or let me go ort let me go
In Kimberly Cole's song "Let Me Go," the lyrics express a yearning to be loved and accepted by someone despite their flaws and imperfections. The song begins with the singer expressing their pain at being told they're not worth it, not good enough, and don't measure up. They feel like they're wasting away while the person they're standing next to keeps them at their party, indicating that they're just there for show. The chorus of "love me or let me go" implies that the singer would rather be loved or not at all, as even the option of being destroyed would be better than being held in limbo.
The second verse expresses the singer's feeling of being caught in between two things that don't match up, and how it's causing them pain. They want someone to see that they're starving for real genuine love and acceptance, not just being kept around for show. The line "took me or let me go" further hints that the singer is tired of being strung along and just wants to be with someone who will accept them completely.
Overall, the song is an emotional plea that many people can relate to. It's about wanting to be loved and accepted as we are, flaws and all, instead of feeling like we're constantly trying to measure up to someone else's impossible standards.

Caught in the middle of something I can't explain
This where it ends now,
Between a rock and hurricane
Can't you see that I'm starving
Stand by and watch me wasting away
Keeping your part in
These old wounds don't heal!
Love me or Let me go,Β
Destroy me, or make whole
Is as simple as that
You either do or you don't
Take me forever or leave me alone!
Just love me or Let me go
OR LET ME GO!
Kimberly Cole lover
The highs and the lows,
To best and to worst
That's what you gave me
All that is left appointment to field
But deepest of ending
love me or Let me go
love me or Let me go
love me or Let me go
Said I don't wanna hurt no more

I love this video so much. They way Kimberly moves slowly, but the scribbled effects move sharp contrast brilliantly, while complementing each other for the music.
