Let Go Of The Pain
Kings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never let me go
Love me much too much
If you let me go
Life will lose its touch
What would I be without you?
There's no place for me without you

Never let me go
I'd be so lost if you went away
There'd be a thousand hours in a day without you
I know

Because of one caress my world was overturned
at the very start
All my bridges burned by my flaming heart
You'd never leave me would you?
You couldn't hurt me could you?





Never let me go
Never let me go
