Let Me Go
Mathew V Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't waste time, darling, hold me near
Words might fail where judge makes clear
Don't fear tomorrow, it's coming slow
Just hold me, darling, and let me go
I don't wanna be afraid that when you ask me to stay
You feel I've pushed you aside
My love can cross the divide
You need a moment to breathe
Love grows in spaces between
Let's just remember the point, my love
Please just be here with me now
And if you need me closer, I'm still here
Don't waste time, darling, hold me near
Words might fail where judge makes clear
Don't fear tomorrow, it's coming slow
Just hold me, darling, and let me go
Because
There's a thing that happens when two people decide
They don't need to reassure something so simple and pure
It seems to me we have this moment in time
Why are we talking it through?
I wonder how much can the talking do
And I don't want to hear a sound
Just remember the point, my love
Let's just remember the point, my love
Oh, let's just remember the point, my love
Please just be here with me now oh
And if you need me closer, I'm still here (oh, I'm here)
Don't waste time, darling, hold me near (hold me near)
Words might fail where judge makes clear
Don't fear tomorrow (don't fear tomorrow), it's coming slow
Just hold me, darling, and let me go
Just hold me, darling, and let me go
Mathew V’s song Let Me Go is an emotional and poetic exploration of an interpersonal relationship between two people. The lyrics address the idea of one person needing the comfort and companionship of another person but not wanting to be clingy or possessive. The singer is suggesting that they are available for their partner to hold onto and seek comfort from but also giving them the freedom to live their own life and not feel trapped by the relationship.
The song starts with the singer saying “If you need me closer, I'm still here”. This shows that the singer is open to their partner coming closer to them for emotional support. However, they also suggest not to waste time and just hold them near because “Words might fail where judge makes clear”. This line suggests that words and explanations might not be enough at times and might not be understood by the other person. They then continue to encourage their partner to not fear tomorrow and just hold them, indicating that even though the future might be uncertain, they can always seek comfort in each other.
Furthermore, the singer also addresses the idea of giving their partner space to grow and be independent. They say “Love grows in spaces between” indicating that sometimes distance is needed for love to grow stronger. The song emphasizes the importance of understanding each other's needs and not being afraid to let go if that's what's needed.
In conclusion, Let Me Go is a powerful and introspective song about love, companionship, and understanding. The singer encourages their partner to seek comfort if needed but also gives them the freedom and space to grow and be independent. The lyrics are deep and heartfelt, inviting the listener to reflect on their own relationships and what love means to them.

I've been waiting for this song to come out since I heard you sing it live at The Vogue !!
Me and my girlfriend were on a terrible break in our 10 year relationship and went to the concert together. We both started crying in the crowd.. such an intense moment. Thank you for that.
We decided to not let go and got back together a few weeks later. Relationships are hard. But worth it. Thank you for this beautiful song and the memories. ♡♡
