Let Me Go
St. Thomas Boys Academy Lyrics

Why do you stay if you’re unhappy?
Questioning why the person remains in the relationship if they are unhappy.

Why do you stay if you can’t stand me?
Questioning why the person remains in the relationship if they cannot stand the singer.

Why can’t you pack up and go?
Questioning why the person cannot just leave the relationship.

Cause this died a long time before
Acknowledging that the relationship has been over for a while.

Gonna have to say goodbye
The singer is finally ready to end the relationship.

We just don’t see eye to eye
The two people in the relationship cannot agree on things.

I don’t wanna live a lie, no
The singer does not want to pretend as if everything is okay.

Stay because you love me but I know you don’t
The person is staying in the relationship out of obligation, but the singer knows their love for them is not genuine.

I’ve made up my mind, now I’ll let you make the call
The singer has already decided to end the relationship, but is allowing the other person to have a say as well.

Let me go
The singer wants to be let go from the relationship.

You gotta let me go
A repeated plea for the other person to let the singer go.

Stay because you love me, not because you’re scared
Encouraging the person to stay in the relationship because of their love, rather than fear of being alone.

Settling is easy, you could find love again
The singer believes that staying in an unhappy relationship is settling, and that the person could find love again.

Been a while since we’ve been apart
Acknowledging that it has been a while since the two were not together.

You just don’t want to break my heart
The other person may be staying in the relationship to avoid hurting the singer.

I can feel when you hold me
The singer can sense that there is no true connection when the two are physically intimate.

Scared to be there without me
The other person may be afraid of being alone without the singer.

That’s no excuse just to lead me on
The singer does not believe that fear of being alone is a valid reason to stay in an unhappy relationship and lead them on.

You’re gonna miss me
The singer believes that the other person will miss them when they are gone.

And everything I do
The other person will miss everything about the singer and their relationship.

It’s just our history
The relationship is only being continued because of their shared past.

But don’t let that fool you
The other person should not be fooled into thinking that their shared history is a reason to stay in an unhappy relationship.
