Let Me Love You
Stephan Jacobs & Love and Light Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I used to believe
We were burning on the edge of
Something beautiful (so beautiful)
Something beautiful (so beautiful)
Selling a dream
Smoke and mirrors keep us waiting
On a miracle (on a miracle)
On a miracle (on a miracle)

Say, go through the darkest of days
Heaven's a heartbreak away
Never let you go, never let me down
Oh, it's been a hell of a ride
Driving the edge of a knife
Never let you go, never let me down

Don't you give up, nah, nah, nah
I won't give up, nah, nah, nah
Let me love you
Let me love you
Don't you give up, nah, nah, nah
I won't give up, nah, nah, nah
Let me love you
Let me love you

Don't fall asleep
At the wheel, we've got a million
Miles ahead of us
Miles ahead of us
And all that we need
Is a rude awakening to
Know we're good enough
Know we're good enough

Say, go through the darkest of days
Heaven's a heartbreak away
Never let you go, never let me down
Oh, it's been a hell of a ride
Driving the edge of a knife
Never let you go, never let me down

Don't you give up, nah, nah, nah
I won't give up, nah, nah, nah
Let me love you
Let me love you
Don't you give up, nah, nah, nah
I won't give up, nah, nah, nah
Let me love you
Let me love you

I won't give up
Don't you give up
I won't give up
Don't you give up
I won't give up
Don't you give up
I won't give up

Don't you give up, nah, nah, nah
I won't give up, nah, nah, nah
Let me love you
Let me love you
Don't you give up, nah, nah, nah
I won't give up, nah, nah, nah
Let me love you
Let me love you

Don't you give up, nah, nah, nah
I won't give up, nah, nah, nah
Let me love you (let me love you)
Let me love you (let me love you)
Don't you give up, nah, nah, nah
I won't give up, nah, nah, nah
Let me love you
Let me love you

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh




(Let me love you)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Overall Meaning

The song "Let Me Love You" by Stephan Jacobs & Love and Light is an energetic and inspiring call to never give up on love and the pursuit of happiness, no matter how hard things may get. The lyrics express a desire for something beautiful, for a dream that is worth pursuing, but acknowledge the difficulties and challenges that stand in the way. The first verse contrasts the beauty of the dream with the reality of smoke and mirrors selling a false promise, leading us to wait for a miracle that may never come.


However, the chorus presents a different perspective, urging the listener to keep going even in the darkest times, never losing faith in the power of love. The line "Heaven's a heartbreak away" suggests that we are only one step away from finding true happiness, and that every struggle we face can bring us closer to it. The repetition of "Let me love you" reinforces this message, emphasizing the importance of giving and receiving love even when it's hard.


The second verse adds another layer to the song, urging us to stay awake and aware, to keep moving forward and never settle for less than what we deserve. The line "all that we need is a rude awakening to know we're good enough" implies that we may be holding ourselves back, that we may not see our own worth clearly enough, and that we need to see ourselves in a different light. Once again, the chorus offers hope and encouragement: "Never let you go, never let me down," reminding us that love is worth fighting for.


Overall, "Let Me Love You" is a powerful and uplifting song that encourages us to keep pursuing our dreams, never giving up hope, and always believing in the power of love to guide us through even the toughest times.
