Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Is it worth all the fighting?
Should I stay here tonight?
Cause I can′t take the crying
I'm gonna go
It′s like you made up your mind
With my heart on the line
And I'm tired of trying
All on my own
But tell me don't
Do it yet, don′t let go no
Don′t do it
Don't do it yet, don′t let go no
Don't do it yet, don′t let go no
Don't do it
Don′t do it yet, don't let go
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Is this it? Is it over?
I miss your hair on my shoulder
It's like I don′t even know you
Not anymore
Please just give me a reason
I′m not ready to leave yet
Do you really believe that
You're better alone?
But tell me don′t
Do it yet, don't let go no
Don′t do it
Don't do it yet, don′t let go no
Don't do it yet, don't let go no
Don′t do it
Don′t do it yet, don't let go
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I don′t wanna fight, maybe no one's right
Maybe we should talk about it
I don′t wanna fight, maybe no one's right
Maybe we should talk
I don′t wanna fight, maybe no one's right
Maybe we should talk about it
I don't wanna fight, we both think we′re right
I just wanna talk
But tell me don′t
Do it yet, don't let go no
Don′t do it
Don't do it yet, don′t let go no
Don't do it yet, don′t let go no
Don't do it
Don't do it yet, don′t let go
Don′t let go!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Don't let go!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
The song "Don't Let Go" by Kinsey is a heart-wrenching ballad about a relationship that is hanging by a thread. The lyrics express the singer's doubts about whether they should stay and keep fighting for the relationship or leave and move on. The first verse highlights the singer's frustration and exhaustion with the constant fighting and crying. They feel consumed by the sense that they are the only one trying to keep the spark alive.
In the second verse, the singer reflects on their relationship's current state, feeling like they don't even know their partner anymore. They long for the intimacy they used to share and beg for a reason not to give up on what they had built together. The pre-chorus pleads with their partner not to give up just yet, to hold on a little longer, and work it out. They want to open up communication lines and have a conversation to work things out instead of fighting. The chorus repeats the plea, "Don't let go." The repetition emphasizes how important it is for the two to stay together despite their challenges.
In the final verse, the singer admits to not wanting to fight anymore, and maybe neither of them is right. They suggest that the only way to work through the issue is by talking it out instead of continuing to argue. The song ends with the repeating chorus of "Don't let go" as a plea to their partner to hold on and not let their love slip away.
Overall, "Don't Let Go" is a compelling song about the ups and downs of relationships, the importance of communication, and the power of love to hold us together.

Man your voice is literally a great presence. I really connect your feelings with mine. Thanks for such a masterpiece. Lots of love
@gracelim2891
I agree. I've been in a toxic relationship before, and for some strange reason I can't seem to get out of them... Rofl why am I addicted to getting hurt? I know this is crazy, but honestly I've been a fan of your music ever since you went on those shows on TV. I'm making a lot of my own music, and it helps when you're coming to terms with what you've been through and how it made you feel. (edit: not on my personal channel lol)
