Never Let You Go
Pdt. Dr. Ir. Niko Njotorahardjo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, havin' been by that old bank tower
I'm inclined to wonder why you feel so strong?
You can't have really seen the hour
If you think she's trying to do you wrong
I see you got that lump in your throat
I hear you mumblin', that's all she wrote
Love is in the next room drinkin' antidote
You ought to know that girl by now
She'll never settle down anyhow
You let your heart go too fast
You let your heart go too fast

Broken glass turns back to flint and sand
I only cease to love as love demands
As you know it takes a while to clap those
Fragments from your idle hands
Couple months could dry a sea of tears
Leave only salt beneath our dried up piers
We won't believe we cared, I swear, in a couple years

You ought to know that girl by now
She'll never settle down anyhow
You let your heart go too fast
You let your heart go too fast

If time heals all wounds, don't you know that
Time also deals them?
The days go by, and now everybody feels them
We struggle with our fates but our action only seals them

They say that murder ain't the fault of the weapon
I'm smokin' sad to be the gun
I want to blow you all away but I don't want to put
No bullets into anyone

I see the feathers that infringe your heart
I see the blood ooze from around the dart
Cupid spites the sense that keeps two
Mismatched souls apart

You ought to know that girl by now
She'll never settle down anyhow
You let your heart go too fast
You let your heart go too fast

You ought to know that girl by now
She'll never settle down anyhow
You let your heart go too fast
You let your heart go too fast

You let your heart go too fast
You let your heart go too fast




You let your heart go too fast
You let your heart go too fast

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Never Let You Go" suggest a situation where the singer's friend or acquaintance is going through a heartbreak, caused by a girl who is not committed to a long-term relationship. The singer questions why the friend is so attached to someone who is not invested in them and suggests that they ought to have known better by now. The tone of the lyrics appears to be one of concern and regret. The chorus line "You let your heart go too fast" is repeated multiple times, emphasizing that the heartbreak was partly caused by the friend's own actions, in terms of being too trusting and not being careful with their feelings.


The second verse of the song sees the singer reflecting on the passing of time and how it can heal but also inflict wounds. He talks about how it takes time to recover from a heartbreak, but also implies that eventually, the pain will fade away. The tone of the verse appears to be one of resignation to the natural course of things. The final verse takes a darker turn as the singer seems to contemplate death and violence. He uses the metaphor of a gun to describe himself and suggests that he wants to harm others, but does not want to actually hurt anyone. This implies that the singer is going through some internal turmoil or struggles and is looking for an outlet.
