Let Me Go
Yearning Paths: Ashley Barron's Plea for Liberation in 'Let Me Go'
Lyrics
You once told me you'd do anything and everything for me
You once promised unwavering support and commitment.
Baby I believe
Expressing belief in the sincerity of the promise.
That you love me enough to be a man of your words (so)
Belief that love is strong enough to uphold promises.
Soul to soul
Emphasizing a deep connection between souls.
You should know how much I want you want you
Expressing desire and passion for the person.
Need you need you
Reiterating the strong emotional need for the person.
Love's not fair
Love is portrayed as not always fair or reciprocated.
You can plead with your heart but it just won't listen
Emphasizing the inability of the heart to follow reason.
Lord knows I care
Expressing care despite challenges in the relationship.
(But) I can't carry on when there's something missing
Struggling to continue when something vital is missing.
Baby please
Pleading for understanding due to personal weakness.
I'm too damn weak
Acknowledging emotional vulnerability.
So I want you want you
Repeating the strong desire for the person.
Need you need you
Reiterating the intense emotional need for the person.
I need you right now more than you'll ever know
Expressing an urgent need for the person's presence.
I'm not strong enough to face it
Admitting a lack of strength to confront a situation.
But this path we're taking
Describing a diverging path in the relationship.
Is taking us right down two different roads
Highlighting the separation of paths.
So I want you want you
Reiterating the desire for the person.
(I) Need you to let me go
Expressing a need for the person to let go.
I need you right now more than you'll ever know
Repeating the urgent need for the person's presence.
I'm not strong enough to face it
Admitting a lack of strength to confront a situation.
But this path we're taking (add but in lyric video)
Reiterating the diverging path in the relationship.
Is taking us right down two different roads
Highlighting the separation of paths.
So I want you want you
Reiterating the desire for the person.
(I) Need you to let me go
Expressing a need for the person to let go.
Let me go let me go
Explicitly requesting the person to let go.
Cuz I don't have the strength to
Admitting a lack of strength to endure the situation.
Watch your heart tear apart I know it ain't fair to you
Anticipating the emotional impact on the person.
(So) I want you want you
Reiterating the strong desire for the person.
Need you need you
Reiterating the intense emotional need for the person.
(I) Want you want you
Further expressing the strong desire for the person.
(I) Need you need you
Further expressing the intense emotional need for the person.
I need you right now more than you'll ever know
Repeating the urgent need for the person's presence.
I'm not strong enough to face it but this path we're taking
Admitting a lack of strength to confront a situation.
Is taking us right down two different roads
Reiterating the diverging path in the relationship.
(So) I want you want you
Reiterating the desire for the person.
(I)Need you to let me go
Expressing a need for the person to let go.
You once told me you'd do anything and everything for me baby
Recalling the initial promise of doing anything for love.
