Never Let You Go
The Ambers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No surprise
Can almost read your mind
You look so tired, worn down
Takes strength to hold your ground

When you see it crumbling without a fight
Nothing good can happen when the time's not right
We're small
Back against the wall
I felt the ancient stones
In the songs I wrote

Sun is coming up, what can we do but try
Go around the corner, care about what you find

Want to tell you, kill the doubt
You could never let me down

I see you
Do the things you do
Without a second thought
It's gotta be enough

Sun is going down into another night
Someone's gotta tell them it'll be alright

Want to tell you, kill the doubt
You could never let me down




Bite my tongue, I drown it out
You could never bring it down
