Let Go
Oval Opus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I guess the end finally came.
Truth is, I'm the one to blame, and I'm sorry.
See I never thought it would end this way.
Silent with nothing left to say, I'm so sorry.

Now the hardiest part is here.
Hanging up the phone and wishing you were here.
Chorus

I've gotta let go.
I've gotta let go.
I've gotta let go it's over.

I thought that we were a sure thing
God knows we've been through everything, and I still miss you
See I thought that I could somehow change
Love you more than anything.
I know I failed you.

Now I sit here in the dark.
I still wonder; how did we fall apart?

Chorus

You deserve much more that me
You deserve much more that me
You deserve so much more than I can give.
You deserve much more that me




You deserve much more that me
You deserve so much more than I can give

Do you have the audio for this on Youtube? I got the CD at Denison University but misplaced it while moving across the country. This song is radio worthy. It sticks in my head. I sing this tune around the house!
