Let Me Go
Unraveling Heartache: Yearning to Let Go
Lyrics
After all of this time
Reflecting on the passage of time
Can’t get you off my mind
Unable to stop thinking about you
Though I’ve tried, yeah I’ve tried
Despite attempts, still unable to move on
And what hurts me the most
Feeling pained by the inability to let go
Is I can’t give up the ghost
Struggling to release the emotional attachment
For pride, foolish pride
Feeling hindered by one's own pride
Oh, now can’t you see
Desiring acknowledgment of influence
You’ve got your fingerprints all over me
Feeling marked or impacted by the other person
So just let me go
Pleading for freedom from emotional ties
Cause I can’t let go
Unable to release emotions without reciprocity
‘Til you let me go
Conditionally attached until granted release
Maybe what I should say
Considering expressing longing
Is, 'I missed you today'
Expressing genuine feelings of missing the other person
For real, that’s just how I feel
Authentic expression of emotions
But when you keep in touch
Feeling emotionally engaged despite difficulties
Though I love it so much
Enjoying communication despite its effect on healing
My heart doesn’t have time to heal
Lamenting lack of time for emotional recovery
Oh, what can I say
Feeling restricted by the situation
I can’t move on with you here in my way
Unable to progress due to the other's presence
So just let me go
Requesting freedom from emotional entanglement
Cause I can’t let go
Bound until granted release by the other person
‘Til you let me go
Stuck until given permission to move on
Set me free, why don’t you babe
Pleading to be liberated from emotional ties
Let me be, why don’t you babe
Requesting freedom and independence
Don’t keep me hanging on
Asking not to be kept in a state of uncertainty
It’s so hard to do
Expressing the difficulty of the situation
But I think it’s 'bout time I should get over you
Realizing the necessity to move forward
So just let me go
Seeking permission to release emotional ties
Cause I can’t let go
Stuck until granted permission to let go
‘Til you let me go
Conditionally holding on until granted release
Oh, now I understand
Gaining insight into the situation
All of this time I’ve been deep in quicksand
Realizing being trapped in an emotional dilemma
So just let me go
Requesting freedom from emotional ties repeatedly
Just let me go
Urging for release from emotional bondage
Cause I can’t let go
Conditionally attached until granted freedom
‘Til you let me go
Stuck until given permission to move on
