Lover
String Orchestra Lyrics

Oh, let me go
Please release me from this relationship

Let me go
I am asking you to let me leave and end this connection

Let me go, lover
I am speaking to my partner and addressing them as a lover who has been holding me back

Let me be
Allow me to live my life on my own terms

Set me free
I am asking to be liberated from the constraints of this relationship

From your spell
I feel trapped and powerless due to the influence of my partner

You made me weep
Your actions have caused me emotional pain and distress

Cut me deep
Your words or actions have caused me significant harm or damage

I can't sleep, lover
My distress is causing me sleeplessness at night, and I am addressing my partner as a lover once again

I was cursed
I feel as if I am under a curse or spell that prevents me from escaping this relationship

From the first
This feeling has been with me since the beginning of our relationship

Day I fell
This refers to the day we began our romantic involvement

You don't want me
I am aware that you do not truly desire me or want to be with me

But you want me
However, you still want to keep me around for your own reasons

To go on wanting you
I am being forced to continue desiring you, even though it is hurting me

Now I pray that
I am appealing to a higher power or just making a genuine hope that

You will say that
You will finally tell me

We're through
That our relationship is over and that we have no further connection or attachment to one another

Please turn me loose
Another plea to be released or allowed to go

What's the use?
I am asking why there is any point in continuing our relationship when it is making me so unhappy

Let me go, lover
Closing out the song's chorus with a final plea to be relieved of this connection

Let me go
I am again requesting that I am allowed to leave

Let me go
Final repetition of my wish to be free

Go
The song's final word, echoing my desire to leave this unhappy relationship behind
