I Know It Will End but I Don't Want to Let Go.
Lucys Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can't help but make you smile
Won't make you stay for a while
I know it hurts
To be yours when you're not even mine
And I fall in love with you
And I fall in love with you with you

You touch the sky and sigh

Cause you're to held up high
And I know
It hurts to be yours when you're not even mine

And I fall in love
And I fall in love with you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lucy's song, "I Know It Will End but I Don't Want to Let Go," narrate a heart-wrenching tale of unrequited love. The singer is aware that the person she is in love with will eventually leave her, but she cannot help but love them. The opening lines of the song, "Can't help but make you smile, won't make you stay for a while," suggest the singer's reluctance to let go of the person they love. They know that their love will not last, but they still find joy in making the other person happy, even if they won't stay for long.

The line "I know it hurts to be yours when you're not even mine" indicates that the person the singer loves is not interested in a committed relationship. This creates an emotional imbalance that makes it difficult for the singer to control their feelings. Furthermore, the line "You touch the sky and sigh cause you're too held up high" refers to the other person's superior position, whether that be a high social status or emotional unavailability, which makes it challenging for the singer to achieve an equal relationship. The final lines of the song, "And I fall in love with you, And I fall in love with you with you," is a potent admission of the singer's willingness to endure the pain of unrequited love.

Overall, Lucy's song "I Know It Will End but I Don't Want to Let Go" is a poignant representation of the pain of unrequited love, which is ultimately unavoidable, but still impossible to resist.
