All I Know
Lisa Mitchell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I couldn't let go of the day just yet
These thoughts in my head
Keep me from my bed

And these walls are glaring down at me
All alone
In the dim
My tears
They shed

And my heart leaps out of its bars
Will tomorrow be much worse
Is this love a blessing or a curse?

And all I know
Is that I
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go

Well I couldn't let go of the night just yet
These feelings I share
Circle round in my head
And the time is ticking on the wall
Only seems to get a second silence in this bed

And my heart leaps out of its bars
Will tomorrow be much worse
Is this love a blessing or a curse?

But all I know
Is that I
I'll never let you go




I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go
