Here's To Letting Go
The Air I Breathe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm Never Safe From My Mind Racing
Don't Tell Me That This Didn't Mean Everything
Your Words Are All I Have To Hold On To
Some Days I Wish I Could Just Go Back To The Person I Thought I Knew
[Be]cause I've Let Go Of What I Needed The Most
And All I Hope Is You Forget This
I Know I've Made So Many Mistakes, But I Can't Make You Stay
So I'll Go
Just Count Me Out, [Be]cause I Can't Bear Anymore
I'm Far Too Fragile To Be Keeping Score
I'm Told The Truth Will Set You Free,
But All Of This Could Almost Kill Me
I Tried To Ignore The Writing On The Wall
I Wish I Was Wrong
Deep Down I Know You're Not Sleeping Alone
Just Go Away
I'm Not Gonna Play These Fucking Games
Just Go Away
I'm Not Gonna Play These Fucking Games
I Spent All My Days Here Waiting For You
I Always Gave Us A Shot, You Never Saw Us Through
Just Give Me A Second To Look In Your Eyes
So I Can Come To Grips That This Was All A Lie
How Could I Say Goodbye?
It's Not Like I Think About You Constantly
You Always Leave With The Best Of Me
[Be]cause I've Let Go Of What I Needed The Most
I Always Wanted To Be What You Had Wanted From Me
And All I Hope Is You Forget This
I Know I've Made So Many Mistakes, But I Can't Make You Stay
So I'll Go
So You Can Act Like This Wont Mean A Thing,
But We Both Know You Will Never Forget Me
[Be]cause I've Let Go
The Air I Breathe's song "Here's To Letting Go" is a deeply emotional song with lyrics that speak to the pain and confusion of heartbreak. The singer is struggling to find peace, both in their waking life and in their dreams, as they come to terms with the end of a relationship that they had hoped would last. They are haunted by the past and by memories of the person they used to be before everything fell apart, but they know that they can't go back to who they once were. They are torn between their desires to hold on and to let go, and they are struggling to find a way forward.
One of the most powerful aspects of the song is the way that the lyrics capture the sense of desperation and vulnerability that comes with heartbreak. The singer is raw and exposed, laying bare their fears and uncertainties as they try to make sense of what has happened to them. The repetition of the phrase "Just go away / I'm not gonna play these fucking games" underscores the singer's frustration and anger, as well as their sense of powerlessness in the face of the situation.
At the same time, the song also speaks to the idea of hope and resilience in the face of pain. The singer acknowledges that they have made mistakes, but they are also determined to move forward and to find a way to let go. They know that it won't be easy, but they are willing to try.
Overall, "Here's To Letting Go" is a powerful song that captures the complex emotions that come with heartbreak. It is a reminder that even in our darkest moments, we can find the strength to keep moving forward and to let go of the things that are holding us back.
