Let You Go
Since September Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you can die from a broken heart, then you can bury me now
'Cause I let go of the only thing that I can't live without
And I'll do anything just to see you now
How to walk a thousand miles just for you to turn me down
There's no light now, there's no rainbow
And it just rains since I let you go
Ain't no sunshine, ain't no good times
It's just a house now it ain't no home
I lost all meaning, I'm barely breathing
And everywhere now I see your ghost
Since I let you go
I let you go-uh
I let you go-uh
I wish I'd seen your point of view
I should've said that I'd die for you
But I let you go-uh
Even God don't know why I let you go
Does your heart still skip a beat everytime that I'm around
'Cause my body feels incomplete ever since you ripped mine now
But if you say it's too late to turn this around
I'd still walk a thousand miles just for you to turn me down
There's no light now and there's no rainbow
And it just rains since I let you go
Ain't no sunshine and ain't no good times
It's just a house, no, it ain't no home
Lost all meaning, I'm barely breathing
And everywhere now I see your ghost
Since I let you go
I let you go-uh
I let you go-uh
I wish I'd seen your point of view
I should've said that I'd die for you
I let you go-uh
Even God don't know why I let you go
All my scars are bleeding now
But is nothing I can change
You tried giving me the world
But now our stars have rearrenged
I guess it's how the story goes
Teach me lessons I don't know
I just said this to myself
Before I let you go
I let you go-uh
I let you go-uh
I wish I'd seen your point of view
I should've said that I'd die for you
I let you go-uh
'Cause even God don't know why I let you go
Uh, oh, even God don't know I let you go
Uh, even God don't know why I let you go




Uh, oh, even God don't know I let you go
Uh, even God don't know why I let you go

Line by Line Meaning

If you can die from a broken heart, then you can bury me now
I am so consumed by sadness from losing you that death seems preferable


'Cause I let go of the only thing that I can't live without
I made the mistake of letting you go and now I realize you were the only thing I truly needed


And I'll do anything just to see you now
I am desperate for a chance to be near you


How to walk a thousand miles just for you to turn me down
I am willing to go to great lengths to try and win you back, even if I know it may be a futile effort


There's no light now, there's no rainbow
The world feels dark and hopeless without you in it


And it just rains since I let you go
The pain of losing you is like a never-ending storm in my life


Ain't no sunshine, ain't no good times
Life has lost all its brightness and joy without you in it


It's just a house now it ain't no home
The place we shared together now feels empty and hollow without you here


I lost all meaning, I'm barely breathing
The loss of you has left me feeling numb, like life has lost its purpose


And everywhere now I see your ghost
Everywhere I look, I am reminded of you and what I have lost


Since I let you go
Everything has been downhill for me since the day I let you go


I let you go-uh
Reiterating the fact that I was the one who let you go


I wish I'd seen your point of view
I regret not understanding your perspective and how important you were to me


I should've said that I'd die for you
I now realize how much you meant to me and how far I would go to have you back in my life


Even God don't know why I let you go
I am at a loss to explain my own actions, even to a higher power


Does your heart still skip a beat everytime that I'm around
I wonder if you still feel something for me when I am in your presence


'Cause my body feels incomplete ever since you ripped mine now
Without you by my side, I feel like a part of me is missing or has been taken away


But if you say it's too late to turn this around
Even if you tell me that there is no chance for us to be together again, I still want to try


All my scars are bleeding now
The pain of losing you has opened up old wounds and made them feel fresh again


But is nothing I can change
No matter how much I wish things were different, I cannot change what has already happened


You tried giving me the world
You did everything you could to make me happy and provide for me


But now our stars have rearranged
Our paths have diverged and what we once had is no longer within reach


I guess it's how the story goes
Perhaps this is just the way things are meant to happen in life


Teach me lessons I don't know
I am hoping to learn something from this experience, even if it is painful


I just said this to myself
I am reminding myself of the gravity of the situation and how I got here


Before I let you go
Thinking back to the moment when I made the decision to let you go


Uh, oh, even God don't know I let you go
Reiterating the fact that I don't even understand why I made the choice to let you go
