Let You Go
Ryan Hamilton & The Harlequin Ghosts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Disrespected in my own home
And I deserve so much more
Than you can give me
Sometimes you gotta stand up tall
What a fool I must have been to fall
As someone who's loved and lost
You can't escape love with a cape
I'm gonna love you like a superhero
Whatever it takes, a love for always
I loved you but I let you go
I got a love and a feelin'
I'm breakin' down walls and bustin' through ceilings
I got a love and a feelin'
I'm breakin' down walls and bustin' through ceilings
I gotta love
I loved you but I let you go
Because I would rather be alone
Than waste my love on someone
Who just gives it away
You can't escape love with a cape
I'm gonna love you like a superhero
Whatever it takes, a love for always
I loved you but I let you go
I got a love and a feelin'
I'm breakin' down walls and bustin' through ceilings
I got a love and a feelin'
I'm breakin' down walls and bustin' through ceilings
I gotta love
L.O.V.E. you ain't got nothin' on me (repeat)
I got a love and a feelin'
I'm breakin' down walls and bustin' through ceilings
I got a love and a feelin'
I'm breakin' down walls and bustin' through ceilings
I gotta love
