In the morning
Nao Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh oh
Oh oh

He can't bear to leave me, in the morning
I'm too blind to see him, in the morning
Buried all my feelings
I'm withholding, it's not fair to let him fall
I tried to leave him signs
Give him warning
Are they hard to recognize?
You're still falling
Away 'cause I can't tell him
I don't love him anymore

I've got to let him go
I've got to let him go
I've got to let him go
I've got to let him go
I've got to let him go

He's falling even deeper, didn't see it coming
His heart belongs to me, but I'm still running
Away 'cause I can't tell him
I don't love him anymore

I can't be who he wants me to be, in the morning
I can't see whom he wants me to see, in the morning
But I can't wait to tell him
I don't love him anymore

I've got to let him go
I've got to let him go
I've got to let him go
I've got to let him go, no
I've got to let him

I need him in the evening
I need him more and more
But when I wake to see him
He's not even on my mind oh no no no

I've got to let him go, no no no
I've got to let him go, no no no no




I've got to let him go, no no no
I've got to let him go, go

Overall Meaning

The song "In the Morning" by NAO talks about a complicated relationship where the singer cannot reciprocate love to her partner anymore. The first stanza starts with the singer's partner not wanting to leave her in the morning while she is too blind to see him. She buried all her feelings and is withholding, not wanting to let him fall. In the second stanza, she has been trying to leave signs and warnings for him, but he cannot recognize them, and he keeps falling for her. The singer knows she has to let him go, but it's not easy. The last stanza describes how she needs him in the evening, but he is not in her mind when she wakes up.


The song is a reminder that relationships are complicated and involve emotions that cannot be controlled or predicted. Sometimes, someone can be in love, and the other person cannot reciprocate anymore. It is natural to change emotions, and it's not fair to withhold them, as it can hurt both parties involved. Moreover, the song reminds us that letting go of people we care about is not easy, but it may be necessary for their own good.

He can't bear to leave me, in the morning
I'm too blind to see him, in the morning
Buried all my feelings, I'm withholding
It's not fair to let him fall

I tried to leave him signs
Give him warning
Are they hard to recognize?
You're still falling away cause I can't tell him
I don't love him anymore

I've got to let him go [x4]

He's falling even deeper, didn't see it coming
His heart belongs to me, but I'm still running
Away cause I can't tell him
I don't love him anymore

I can't be who he wants me to be, in the morning
I can't see whom he wants me to see, in the morning
But I can't wait to tell him
I don't love him anymore

I've got to let him go [x4]

I need him in the evening
I need him more at night
But when I wake to see him
He's not even on my mind

I've got to let him go [x4]
