Wickermoss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To keep me from being left all alone
I want you to sing me a sweet lullabye
I want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand, hold my hand
These are the times I've longed for you
I asked if you feel the same way too
I wondered how could you treat me so cold
I gave up everything just to be there for you but
You held me up and you let these feelings go
Please give me a chance to say what's inside
Please promise me you'll never say goodbye
Say goodbye
I've always wanted to sing my sweet lullabye
I want you to hold my hand, hold my hand
Hold my hand
(Repeat Chorus)
(Adlib)
I gave up everything just to be there for you but
You held me up and you let these feelings go
Just give me a chance to say what's inside
And promise me you'll never say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
The lyrics of Wickermoss's song "Letters" tell a story of a person longing for the love and attention of someone they care deeply about. The singer wants to know what they can do to make the other person feel more at home and not leave them alone. They ask for a comforting gesture, such as singing a sweet lullaby or holding their hand, to feel closer to their love interest. The singer has already expressed their feelings to the other person, but they have been left hanging, wondering if their feelings are reciprocated. Despite having given up everything for this love interest, the other person has been distant and cold, leaving the singer hurt and confused. The song ends with the singer pleading for a chance to express their feelings and a promise that they won't be left behind.
The lyrics of "Letters" have a poignant quality that speaks to the feeling of heartbreak and longing. The singer is trying to understand the distance between themselves and the other person, and is asking for something small to bridge the gap. The line, "I gave up everything just to be there for you but, you held me up and you let these feelings go", speaks to the feeling of being vulnerable and exposed in a relationship, only to be rejected by the other person. The use of repetition in the chorus underscores the desperation of the singer as they plead for the other person to stay, to not say goodbye.
