Never Let You Go
rick x & omar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I said I tried to use what I know
But you wanted better
I used fire to manipulate growth
But you wanted better
After all I did it was never that
I never wanted you to let go
I never wanted to let you go
I gave the flower its crusading rose
I said it was clever
You made the golden run from us both
And I said whatever
After all you said it was never that
I never wanted to let you go
I never wanted to let you go
Oh Oh
I never wanted to let you go
With regard to what I did to you
I never wanted you to let go
But you liberated my daunting past
It wasn't easy
To make something last
When all I did was stay true to you
I finally let you go
I finally let you go
After everything I did for you
I never wanted to let you go
You paved the road with your dark gray hue
I never wanted you to let go
I took the darkness like the way you knew
I thought it was easy
After all those things you made me do
I finally let you go
I finally let you go




I never wanted you to let go
But I finally let you go
