Let You Go
OT Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here we are again picking a fight
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
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, 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
