Letting Go
You're Pretty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Alone I sit and count sad days they all amount
I don't think that you'll understand just hear me out
Or let me let me be
Do you believe that time will wait for you?
Can you tell me there's something I can do
I've had too much to drink and now its making me think
That I'm too strong to fake it so I'll move on
And turn away
Do you believe that time will wait for you?
Can you tell me there's something I can do
I stand here looking down to afraid to turn around
And face what lies behind me and to afraid of letting go




I'm letting go and falling in
I don't care I'm finally jumping

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of You're Pretty's song "Letting Go" describe the singer's struggle to move on from a difficult situation or relationship. The opening lines of "Alone I sit and count sad days they all amount" suggest a sense of loneliness and despair, underscored by the notion that the person they are addressing ("I don't think that you'll understand just hear me out") may not be able to fully empathize with their predicament. The repetition of the lines "Do you believe that time will wait for you?/Can you tell me there's something I can do" underscores a sense of urgency or anxiety, as the singer grapples with whether or not to hold onto the past or move forward.


The second verse ("I've had too much to drink and now its making me think/That I'm too strong to fake it so I'll move on/And turn away") suggests that the singer has reached a breaking point, perhaps fueled by alcohol or some other form of self-medication. This moment of clarity leads them to decide that they can no longer pretend that everything is okay and that it's time to cut ties and move on. However, the final verse ("I stand here looking down too afraid to turn around/And face what lies behind me and to afraid of letting go/I'm letting go and falling in/I don't care I'm finally jumping") reveals that even as they make this decision, the singer is still scared and unsure of what the future holds. They know they need to let go, but the prospect of doing so is terrifying. In the end, they decide to take the plunge and let go, embracing the uncertainty and risk that comes with moving on.


Overall, "Letting Go" encapsulates the difficult process of making peace with the past and moving forward. The lyrics capture a sense of frustration, anxiety, and fear, but also the glimmer of hope that comes with the decision to let go and move on.


Line by Line Meaning

Alone I sit and count sad days they all amount
I am by myself and tally each day that passes in sorrow, realizing they add up


I don't think that you'll understand just hear me out
I doubt you'll comprehend, so listen to me for a bit


Or let me let me be
Either give me space or let me be myself


Do you believe that time will wait for you?
Do you have faith that time will pause for you?


Can you tell me there's something I can do
Is there anything you could suggest to me?


I've had too much to drink and now its making me think
Due to excessive alcohol consumption, I'm currently pondering


That I'm too strong to fake it so I'll move on
I'm too strong to pretend, thus I'll progress forward


And turn away
I'll pivot and travel the opposite direction


I stand here looking down too afraid to turn around
I stand here gazing down, too petrified to face behind me


And face what lies behind me and too afraid of letting go
I'm frightened of confronting my past and letting go


I'm letting go and falling in
I'm freely releasing my hold and descending


I don't care I'm finally jumping
I couldn't care less, I'm at last leaping

Lyrics : ur pretty - I'll Never Let You Go
You light a candle just to see in the dark
You're only running on a fuse, and it's been falling apart again
I'm by your side, I hope at least that helps
And life sucks sometimes, it's feeling more like hell

And all the walls around you are turning to ashes
And the flames surround you when everything crashes
Don't hold your head, 'cause it'll all work out
And don't let go of my hand, I won't let you down

The silence is deafening
Keep fighting, you're trembling
But it's fine, it'll be alright
See the pain in your eyes, but we still survive

Just don't forget about me
When you feel like you're drowning
I know it's hard to try
If it gets rough, I'm by your side

When everything
Is falling apart, put your head on my shoulder
Don't cry, just another bad night
You'll make it out alive

When everything is taking its toll, I'll pull you a little closer
If you slip, I'm falling too
And I'll never let you go (never let you go)

If your clouds are grey then so are mine
Your smile faded but still you shine
Got my path again into your soul
It's a place that I call home

I can feel your fingertips, they're burnin' my skin again
But I still take your hand
And we'll run away from this mess
I'll bury my heart in the hole in your chest

Just don't forget about me
When you feel like you're drowning
I know it's hard to try
If it gets rough, I'm by your side

When everything
Is falling apart, put your head on my shoulder
Don't cry, just another bad night
You'll make it out alive

When everything is taking its toll, I'll pull you a little closer
If you slip, I'm falling too
And I'll never let you go again

You don't have to cry alone
And I'll hold this weight above you
If you slip, I'm falling too
And I'll never let you go

And the flames surround you when everything crashes
Don't hold your head, 'cause it'll all work out
And don't let go of my hand, I won't let you down
The silence is deafening
Keep fighting, you're trembling
But it's fine, it'll be alright
See the pain in your eyes, but we still survive
Just don't forget about me
When you feel like you're drowning
I know it's hard to try
If it gets rough, I'm by your side
When everything

Don't cry, just another bad night

You don't have to cry alone
And I'll hold this weight above you
If you slip, I'm falling too
And I'll never let you go
