Let You Go
Leroy Sanchez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I met you in the dark you lit me up
You made me feel as though i was enough
We danced the night away we drank too much
I pull your hair back when
You were throwing up

Then you smiled over your shoulder
For a minute I was stone-cold sober
I pulled you closer to my chest
And you asked me to stay over
I said, I already told you
I think that you should get some rest

I knew I loved you then
But you'd never know
'Cause I played it cool when I
Was scared of letting go i knew I needed you
But I never showed but I wanna stay with you
Until we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go

I wake you up with some breakfast in bed
I'll bring you coffee
With a kiss on your head
And I'll take the kids to school
Wave them goodbye
And I'll thank my lucky stars
For that night

When you looked over your shoulder
For a minute I forget that I'm older
I wanna dance with you right now, oh
And you look as beautiful as ever
And I swear that every time you get better
You make me feel this way somehow

I'm so in love with you and I hope you know
Darling, your love is more than
Worth it's weight in gold
We've come so far, my dear
Look how we've grown
And I wanna stay with you
Until we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go

I wanna live with you
Even when we're ghosts
'Cause you were always there for me
When I needed you most

I'm gonna love you 'til my lungs give out
I promise 'til death we part
Like in our vows
So I wrote this song for you
Now everybody knows
Cause now it's just you and me
Until we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go




Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go

We're not supposed to be alone
Why couldn't we get along?
Seems like pride always gets in the way
Can't do love, too much pain
I keep replaying the day you
Walked right out the door
And never accounted for my heart
And we both end up with scars

No, don't say you're sorry
Tryin' to tell me you love me
Don't get emotional, I already let you go
Cause you cut me too deep
And I ain't losing sleep
But one thing that you should know
I already let you go

I picture you wakin' up
Thinkin' bout it then makin' up
But nothin' at all
Not even a single call
I waited for days, days turned to weeks
And now I see you comin' round
But I won't let it bring me down, no, no

Well I guess in love and war
You win, you lose, you forget why you fought
And we both end up with scars

No, don't say you're sorry
Tryin' to tell me you love me
Don't get emotional, I already let you go
Cause you cut me too deep
And I ain't losing sleep
But one thing that you should know
I already let you go
Let you go
Let you go
Let you go!

No, don't say you're sorry
Tryin' to tell me you love me
Don't get emotional, I already let you go
Cause you cut me too deep
And I ain't losing sleep
But one thing that you should know
I already let you go

Don't say you're sorry
Tryin' to tell me you love me
Don't get emotional, I already let you go
Cause you cut me too deep
And I ain't losing sleep
But one thing that you should know
I already let you go
