Not Like I Need You
Letting Go Easy: Sylvie Cox's Reflection on Love and Closure
Lyrics
By the way I'm gonna let it go easy
Expressing a willingness to release something without difficulty.
Fill the place with someone I love
Planning to replace a void with the presence of someone deeply cared for.
You and me were never ones for the long time
Highlighting a lack of inclination for long-term commitments between the speaker and someone else.
By the way I could quit it in a moment
Claiming the ability to end a situation abruptly if desired.
Never miss what never was
Indicating the absence of attachment to something that never came into existence.
You and I were never ones for the long ride
Reiterating a preference for short-lived connections.
And it's not like this is the last time I'll see you
Acknowledging that the current meeting won't be the final encounter.
It's not like this is the last time I'll need you
Recognizing that future instances of needing the person will occur.
It's not like this is this is what
Emphasizing the situation is not the crucial aspect of the speaker's life.
I've barely lived without
Stating a lack of significant life experience without the mentioned situation.
And it's not like this is the end of an era
Dismissing the idea that it marks the conclusion of a notable period.
It's not like I was someone that you cared for
Acknowledging the speaker's lack of importance to the other person.
It's not like this is is the one that I'll take to my grave
Dismissing the notion that this particular experience will be memorable.
By the way I'm gonna let it go easy
Repeating the readiness to move on without difficulty.
Fill the place with someone I trust
Intending to replace the void with someone reliable.
You and me were never ones for a goodbye
Reinforcing an aversion to farewells.
And it's not like this is the last time I'll see you
Acknowledging the likelihood of future encounters.
It's not like this is the last time I'll need you
Recognizing the persistence of needing the person in the future.
It's not like that was the one I've been dreaming about And it's not like this is the end of an era
Clarifying that the past experience wasn't a significant dream.
It's not like I was someone you were there for
Affirming the lack of emotional support from the other person.
It's not like this is the one that I'll take to my grave
Rejecting the idea that this will be a memorable experience.
Oh and look at me and tell me it's the real thing Don't pretend and baby don't do it now
Challenging the other person to confirm the authenticity of their feelings.
Gotta good feeling about you now you know
Expressing a positive intuition about the other person.
You don't trust me, love is such a big game
Highlighting a lack of trust and the complexity of love as a game.
I know you know that, really want the real thing, You know life gets pretty lonely
Acknowledging mutual awareness of the challenges in seeking genuine love.
Gotta good feeling that I trust you
Expressing trust in the other person.
Gotta good feeling about you now you know
Reiterating a positive feeling about the other person.
And it's not like those were the days I had wasted Not like that was the feeling I was chasing
Rejecting the idea that past days were wasted.
Not like that was the one I barely lived without
Emphasizing that a particular experience was not indispensable.
And it's not like I'll be a whole different person
Asserting that the speaker won't undergo a significant transformation.
Not like I need a reason to resort to
Rejecting the need for a specific reason.
Not like this is the last thing I'll wish upon I got a new one
Dismissing the gravity of a certain wish, expressing a new perspective.
I got a good feeling about you love
Expressing confidence and positivity regarding love with the other person.
Oh baby babys not foolish
Affirming that the speaker is not naive in matters of love.
Love is a big game and
Acknowledging that love is a complex and challenging game.
I want it with you
Expressing a desire for love with the addressed person.
