Let You Go
YOUNG SHILOH Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let you go. I let it go
Let you go. I let it go

After everything you did to me. I have to let you know
This relationship is killing me. I have to let you go
I been working way too hard just to get to where I'm at
If you try to hold me back. I have to let you go
I Wanted love so bad. Want it so bad
I Made myself look past every red flag
Getting so high, living life too fast
When we crashed, I just knew that we wouldn't last
This relationship is killing me I have to let you go
It Hurts me just to say it but I have to let you know
That I'm tired of the pain So I have to let you go
I have to let you I I have to let you go

Codependent, lets be honest you were my addiction
But you took my loyalty as weakness so I felt resentments
I'm Reminiscing on the person that I used to be
Way Before I picked you off your feet and took you off the streets

I felt unappreciated
My love for you turn to hate when
You always lied to my face and
Manipulate conversations
Im so glad you're gone
I can't believe you played me this long
You said you loved me but did me so wrong
I question everything you've said along
You're ungrateful to your blessings
So pack your shit and exit
You Tried to steal what's mine. I had to intercept it interject it
All The drugs and all the sexin', blinded my perception
And now my hearts so cold. You make me sick. Chloraseptic

I Wanted love so bad. Want it so bad
I Made myself look past every red flag
Getting so high, living life too fast
When we crashed, I just knew that we wouldn't last
This relationship is killing me I have to let you go
It Hurts me just to say it but I have to let you know
That I'm tired of the pain So I have to let you go
I have to let you I I have to let you go

There used to be a time. I was convinced I couldn't live without you
But Now I go a couple days and never think about you
I thought we'd be forever so I never walked away
Even Though you gave a thousand reasons every single day
Guess that's why I let you hurt me
Made me feel like I deserve it
Turned me to a different person
All those lessons never learned em

I was dying slow. I was Suffocating when you held me close
You didn't let me grow, so I let you go
You didn't let me grow, so I let you go
You were Talking bout you that needed me but you treated me so disposable
You would build me up, just to break me down
Everyday I felt so expendable
You betrayed my trust when you cheated on me
Get up out my face. I can't look at you
After everything that you did to me
I still never did that shit to you





Let you go. I let it go
Let you go. I let it go
