Let me go
Logic Feat. Lykke Li Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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...

Won't you let me go, let me go tonight
Won't you let me go, let me go tonight
Won't you let me go, let me go tonight
Won't you let me go, let me go tonight
Won't you let me go, let me go tonight
Won't you let me go, let me go tonight

Yeah, I know we seen a lot of shit in the time we've been together
Thought we knew it all but 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 when 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

Let me go, let me go tonight
Let me go, let me go tonight
Let me go, let me go tonight
Let me go, let me go tonight
Let me go, let me go tonight
Let me go, let me go tonight

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 I've 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

Overall Meaning

In the first verse of Logic’s “Let Me Go,” he seems to be talking to someone from his past. He asks this person to watch his back and make sure they’re always right behind him, just like they used to be. He then talks about how he’s been trying to hide his pain, so the other person won’t know how much they hurt him. However, despite his attempts to appear unaffected, Logic knows this person is always right behind him. The chorus is a plea for this person to finally let him go, to end their relationship and move on.


The second verse seems to be a direct message to someone who broke Logic’s heart. He speaks about the ups and downs of their relationship and how he had envisioned a future with this person. However, things didn’t work out, and now he’s left to wonder if they’ve found someone else. Although he acknowledges that this person loved him, Logic sees that their actions didn’t align with their words. He assures this person that he’s moving on and letting go of their relationship.


Overall, “Let Me Go” seems to be about the struggle of trying to move on from a past relationship. Despite pain and heartache, Logic is determined to release himself from this situation so he can continue to grow and evolve.

Verse 1: Logic]
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
And 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 playin' games
Fucking around got me feeling like blowin' 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

[Chorus: Lykke Li]
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
