Let You Go
Secret Someones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Honey I know you hate goodbyes
And you remember all the good times
You don't want to say but I can see it in your eyes
I gotta let you go

You don't want to hurt me
You're so sweet
And I don't blame you for a thing
I can never say what I really mean
I gotta let you go
Think I gotta let you go

Ooooh
It's so hard to face the end
Ooooh
I don't want to lose a friend
But we've drifted apart and it feels so far from where we used to be
Ooooh
Trapped inside a memory
Think I gotta let you go
Think I gotta let you go

When we're crying broken in half
You find a way to make me laugh
For a moment I doubt all the doubts we had
But I don't want to let you go

Cause losing you feels like losing me too
And I don't know how to live without you
But the pieces don't fit like they used to
I gotta let you go
I – I – I gotta let you go

Ooooh
It's so hard to face the end
Ooooh
I don't want to lose a friend
But we've drifted apart and it feels so far from where we used to be
Ooooh
Trapped inside a memory
I gotta let you go

I gotta let you go-oh

Ooooh
It's so hard to face the end
Ooooh
I don't want to lose a friend
But we've drifted apart and it feels so far from where we used to be
Ooooh
Trapped inside a memory

Think I gotta let you go
(I gotta let you go)
Think I gotta let you go
(I gotta let you go)
Think I gotta let you go




(I gotta let you go)
Think I gotta let you go

Line by Line Meaning

Honey I know you hate goodbyes
I understand that you dislike saying farewell


And you remember all the good times
You fondly recall all of our past experiences together


You don't want to say but I can see it in your eyes
Although you don't want to admit it, it's evident in your expression


I gotta let you go
I must move on without you


You don't want to hurt me
You don't wish to cause me pain


You're so sweet
You have a kind nature


And I don't blame you for a thing
I hold no resentment towards you


I can never say what I really mean
I struggle to express myself honestly


Think I gotta let you go
I believe I must move on without you


It's so hard to face the end
Accepting the conclusion is a difficult task


I don't want to lose a friend
I value our friendship and desire to maintain it


But we've drifted apart and it feels so far from where we used to be
We've grown apart and our connection is different from what it once was


Trapped inside a memory
Stuck recalling the past


When we're crying broken in half
In moments of distress and despair


You find a way to make me laugh
You still have the ability to bring joy to me


For a moment I doubt all the doubts we had
In that instant, my previous uncertainties seem insignificant


But I don't want to let you go
I still desire to hold onto our relationship


Cause losing you feels like losing me too
Your absence would result in me losing a part of myself


And I don't know how to live without you
I'm uncertain of how to carry on without you in my life


But the pieces don't fit like they used to
Our connection is not as strong as it once was


I – I – I gotta let you go
I must move on from our relationship

Yes, I know. That's really too bad. They were excellent and had the potential to really make it.

I saw these guys play in Montclair. They are awesome live and I got to talk to the drummer, Zach and he's pretty rad.
