Let Me Go
Rachel Goodrich Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you told me our love was through
But I didn't want to let you go, go
I didn't want to let you go
And you said we were looking good for a long-term time
I gotta write this out now
Still I gotta let you know, know
How do you think I feel?
Well, how does it feel?
How do you think I feel?
And how many times, how many times does it take to bring me down?
Oh, break my heart, let me go and
How many times, how many times does it take to bring me down?
Oh, break my heart, let me go
Hard to tell you how I'm feeling on the inside
Yeah, I get emotional too
But you just want to let things go, go
Yeah, you just want to let things go
And anger says I'm bringing you down
Oh, I think you're bringing me down too
But I didn't want to let you know, know
No, I didn't want to let you know
How do you think I feel?
Well, how does it feel?
How do you think I feel?
And how many times, how many times does it take to bring me down?
Oh, break my heart, let me go and
How many times, how many times does it take to bring me down?
Oh, break my heart, let me go
Oh honey, it's just easier to dream for two
Than to dream alone, dream alone
And I can't deny you when I'm not with you
I feel all alone, all alone, all alone, all alone
And how many times, how many times does it take to bring me down?
Oh, break my heart, let me go and
How many times, how many times does it take to bring me down?
Oh, break my heart, let me go
And how many times does it take to bring me down?
Oh, break my heart, let me go and
How many times, how many times
Let me go, let me go, let me go
