let you go
Nick Black Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm yours for the taking.
So sick of waiting here for you.
Now are you broken?
Let's see how you used me.
I'm yours for the breaking.
So sick of hating me for you.
Now are you broken?
You know it consumes me.
I can't take this any further.
You won't let me.
I can take this just like murder.
I can't let you go, I can't let you go.
Unreciprocated.
How long you've waited there for me.
Will you awaken,
Or will you abuse me?
Why? What have I taken?
Just for the sake of loving you.
Now are you beaten?
You know it consumes me.
I can't take this any further.
You won't let me.
I can take this just like murder.
I can't let you go, I can't let you go.
Always a lie.
Something is telling me I don't need you.
I can't take this any further.
You won't let me.
I can't take this any further.
You won't let me.
I can take this just like murder.




I can't let you go, I can't let you go,
I can't let you go, I can't let you go.

Overall Meaning

The song Let You Go by Nick Black is a self-reflective and emotionally charged expression of love, misery, and the realization that the relationship has run its course. The opening lyric "I'm yours for the taking" reflects the singer's willingness to be with his lover, who he has waited for but who has yet to reciprocate his love. The lyrics further delve into the singer's emotional state, describing how he is sick of waiting for his lover and how he feels used and abused by the relationship. The lyrics continue to demand answers from the lover as to whether she is broken or whether she has beaten him down emotionally.


As the song progresses, the singer becomes increasingly frustrated with his unrequited love and his inability to let go. The lyrics express feelings of helplessness and fear as the singer does not know how to move on from the toxic relationship. The line "I can take this just like murder" highlights the agony that comes with heartbreak and the feeling of being trapped in the situation.


Interestingly, the lyrics also touch on the idea that the singer may not need his lover, as he sings "Something is telling me I don't need you." This may reflect the realization that he is better off alone and that the relationship has caused him more harm than good. However, despite this realization, he seems unable to let go completely and is left in a perpetual state of emotional turmoil.
