OT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't even listen when I cry (oh yeah)
This time I made up my mind
But everything changes when you smile
Even if it's too much for me to hold ya, hold ya
Still want you to stay with me
Need to cry on your shoulder, shoulder
Go, go, I don't wanna let you go, no
Go, go, I don't wanna let you go, no
Need to cry on your shoulder, shoulder
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't want to let you go
I don't want to let you go, no, yeah
Never felt so hurt, only for you
You don't even care that's nothing new, oh yeah
Do you even feel it when we kiss?
It's your touch that I can't resist
Even if it's too much for me to hold ya, hold ya
Still want you to stay with me
Need to cry on your shoulder, shoulder
I want you to hold me
Go, go, I don't wanna let you go, no
Go, go, I don't wanna let you go, no
Need to cry on your shoulder, shoulder
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't want to let you go
I don't want to let you go, no, no
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't want to let you go
Let you go, let you go
Ah, yeah
Oh, oh
I don't want to let you go
The lyrics of "Let You Go" by OT express the complex emotions and struggles within a relationship. The singer begins by acknowledging that they and their partner are constantly engaging in arguments, and the partner fails to pay attention or listen to the singer's cries for understanding and resolution. Despite the difficulties, the singer has finally made up their mind about something, possibly a decision to end the relationship. However, the dynamics change when their partner smiles, suggesting that the partner's charm and affection have a profound effect on the singer, making it harder for them to let go.

But everything changes when you smile
However, my resolve weakens and everything seems different when you flash that smile.
