Love That Lets Go
Miley Cyrus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a gold frame
That sits by the window
And my heart breaks
A little more each time I try
To picture the memory inside

There's a notebook,
That's too hard to read it
But if you look
You'd see how you look through my eyes
But now one more chapter's gone by
And I know

It's time to move on
Even though I'm not ready
You've got to be strong
And trust where you're heading
Even though it's not easy (not easy)
Right now the right kind of love
Doesn't wanna miss the future
Or stand in the past
It will always hold on
Never hold you back
And even though it's not easy (not easy),
I know the right kind of love




Is love that lets go (It's time to say hey)
It's love that let's go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Love That Lets Go by Miley Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus revolve around the idea of letting go of someone you truly love, despite how difficult it may be. The first verse describes a gold frame that contains a memory that only causes heartbreak upon revisiting. The memory, like the frame, cannot be changed or erased. The second verse mentions a notebook that is too hard to read, most likely containing the writer's raw and honest emotions towards their loved one. The writer claims that now that "one more chapter's gone by," it's time to move on.


The chorus emphasizes how the right kind of love is one that allows people to grow and move on in life without holding each other back. Although it might not be easy to let go, it is necessary for the future. The phrase "love that lets go" becomes both the title of the song and the overall message it conveys.


The song can be interpreted in a variety of ways, but one of the most significant themes is the idea of life's constant change. As much as people may wish to hold on to what they know and love, it is essential to let go and allow life to move forward. The poignant lyrics and emotional melody of Love That Lets Go make it a powerful reminder of the importance of embracing change, even when it's not easy.
