Let You Go
Richie Campbell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause even though you're mine
I never keep you in mind
Need to let you go
I feel like every time that we argue is a sign
Need to let you go
Baby, I don't know how I can explain
Need to let you know, I need to let you go
Before you turn into my enemy
I need to go, I need to set you free
Before I drain up all your energy
I need to do what's best for you and me (oh yeah)
Need to protect you from my selfish ways (baby)
I need you to know that this ain't just a phase
I know you can't take all these games we play
It's best we stay apart, it's best me move away
I need to let you go
'Cause even though you're mine
I never keep you in mind
Need to let you go
I feel like every time that we argue is a sign
Need to let you go
Baby, I don't know how I can explain
Need to let you know, I need to let you go
I really wish that I could make it painless
Girl, I think we should go back to being strangers
See, me and you together feels so dangerous
And it might even work for them but girl it ain't us
That's why this love expire
'Cause you don't have everything I require
You shoulda make me feel inspired, yeah
But girl, me gone, I'm not coming home
I need to let you go
'Cause even though you're mine
I never keep you in mind
Need to let you go
I feel like every time that we argue is a sign
Need to let you go
Baby, I don't know how I can explain
Need to let you know, I need to let you go
'Fore you turn into my enemy
I need to go, I need to set you free
Before I drain up all your energy
I need to do what's best for you and me
Need to protect you from my selfish ways
I need you to know that this ain't just a phase
I know you can't take all these games we play
It's best we stay apart, it's best me move away
I need to let you go
'Cause even though you're mine
I never keep you in mind
Need to let you go
I feel like every time that we argue is a sign
Need to let you go
Baby, there's nothing, just don't feel the same
Let you go (I need to let you go)
In the song "Let You Go" by Richie Campbell, the lyrics describe the singer's realization that he needs to end a relationship, despite still feeling a possessive attachment to the person. The first verse expresses his internal struggle, acknowledging that even though the person belongs to him, he never truly considers their feelings or prioritizes their well-being. This realization leads him to understand that he must let go.
The chorus emphasizes the need to break free before the relationship deteriorates further. The singer understands that if he allows the situation to continue, they will become enemies rather than partners. He wants to protect the other person from his selfish tendencies and ensure that they both have the opportunity to find happiness outside of the toxic dynamic they've created. Recognizing that playing games and arguing constantly is not healthy, he believes it is better for them to separate and move on.
In the second verse, the singer expresses his desire to end the relationship in the least painful way possible. He believes returning to being strangers is the best course of action because being together is too dangerous and incompatible for them. The love they once had has expired because it no longer fulfills his needs and doesn't inspire him. Thus, he is ready to leave the relationship and not return.
The chorus repeats to reinforce the singer's decision to let go. He believes that by doing so, he can protect the other person from his selfish behaviors and the harmful games they play. The singer understands that it's time to accept that things have changed and that staying apart and moving away is the best solution for both of them. The phrase "let you go" is then repeated at the end, emphasizing the singer's resolve to move on and allow the other person to do the same.
