Let me go
Schmit Timothy B. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Breaking up and they're breaking down
You and I fight almost all night
Leaves us crying in the morning light
Never knowing where we're going
Is it so hard to live together
Living lonely this sadness on me
Give me a break or let me go
Somewhere it's shining
Out in the night I can hear the song
I've made all I can make of broken dreams
Bad scenes and crying
I give and you take - down so low
Love me or let me go
City streets and the people homeless
Can't come up with another chance
You and I - we had so much going
Music plays but we just can't dance
You go your way - I'll go mine
Let's find out what makes life worth living
Nights of laughter - mornings after
Someone wants what I've been giving
Give me a break or let me go
Somewhere it's shining
Out in the night I can hear the song
I've made all I can make of broken dreams
Bad scenes and crying
I give and you take - down so low
Love me or let me go
