Let me go
Logic Lyrics

Lykke Li
Watch my back, so I make sure
You're right behind me as before
Yesterday, the night before tomorrow
Dry my eyes so you won't know
Dry my eyes so I won't show
I know you're right behind me...
Don't you let me go, let me go tonight
Don't you let me go, let me go tonight
Don't you let me go, let me go tonight
Don't you let me go, let me go tonight
Don't you let me go, let me go tonight
Don't you let me go, let me go tonight

Yeah, I know we seen a lot of shit whole time we've been together
Thought we knew it all but just couldn't predict the weather
I think about you and imagine a house and some kids
I wonder if you found another and it's all his
See baby girl, I know you love me even through the lies
Cause honesty and truth is always found within your eyes
Sometimes I see you when you love it but you fear it cause you try your hardest to run but still feel me in your spirit baby girl I know you hear it
My heart is calling for you tonight
And even though the time is wrong I know the love is right
That's why there's so much emotion whenever I recite
Anything about this angel that lost its sight
Baby you were my everything, but you playing games
Fucking around got me feeling like blowing my brains
But you ain't worth the satisfaction cause all you do is speak of love but never lead to action
I used to count the days with you but now I just subtract them

Lykke Li
Watch my back, so I make sure
You're right behind me as before
Yesterday, the night before tomorrow
Dry my eyes so you won't know
Dry my eyes so I won't show
I know you're right behind me...

You were my best friend but then you out me
I never gave you a reason not to trust me but then you doubt me
So in the end it only shows that you don't give a fuck about me
I know you hearing the emotion that's deep in this letter but I don't give a shit about what you think
I write it so that the people can feel better
That have gone through what I've gone through
Memories of a perfect love that's broken and haunt you
And if you think I write this song to taunt you
I don't want you, I want the memory of who you were and what it was to wake up everyday
And have an endless love with an angel from up above
But now it would seem my baby girl has fallen
And another path within my life is calling
Cause I put everything below you, (everything below you)
Even my music, and when you left me I didn't lose it
I channeled deep within emotions and used it
My heart you broke it and bruised it
So now I address this microphone and just ooze it

Lykke Li
Watch my back, so I make sure
You're right behind me as before
Yesterday, the night before tomorrow
Dry my eyes so you won't know
Dry my eyes so I won't show
I know you're right behind me...

Watch my back, so I make sure
You're right behind me as before
Yesterday, the night before tomorrow
Dry my eyes so you won't know




Dry my eyes so I won't show
I know you're right behind me...

Overall Meaning

In Logic's song "Let Me Go," the lyrics tell a story about a relationship that has ended but the emotions still run deep. Lykke Li starts off the song with the words "Watch my back, so I make sure, You're right behind me as before" which could be interpreted as someone seeking reassurance that they are not alone after a breakup. The lines "Dry my eyes so you won't know, Dry my eyes so I won't show" imply that the person doesn't want the ex-partner to see how much they are hurting from the separation.


Logic's verses give us insight into the emotional turmoil of the relationship. He talks about how he and his partner have been through a lot together, but couldn't predict the end of their relationship. He thinks about what could have been and wonders if she has found someone new. Despite the hurt and pain caused by the breakup, he contemplates reconciling with her, but acknowledges that she may not be worth it. He then goes on to express how he put everything, including his music, below her and how he channeled his emotions into his music after the breakup. The repeating chorus, "Don't you let me go, let me go tonight," expresses the desperation of wanting to hold on to something that is slipping away.
