I Let You Go
Yearning Echoes: I Let You Go
Lyrics
I let you go
I made the decision to release you
And hoped you'd come back
With the expectation or desire that you would return
Hoped you'd come back to me
Expressing the hope for your eventual return to me
Oh I let you go
A repetition of the decision to let you go
And hoped you'd come back
Reiterating the desire for your comeback
Hoped you'd come back to me
Repeating the hope for your return
I let you go
Again stating the action of releasing you
And hoped you'd come back
Expressing the expectation of your return
Hoped you'd come back to me
Reiterating the desire for you to come back
Oh I let you go
Repeat of the decision to let you go
And hoped you'd come back
Reiterating the hope for your return
Hoped you'd come back to me
Restating the desire for you to come back
Cause leaving ain't as easy as it used to be
Indicating that the act of leaving has become more challenging
You wear my heart on your sleeve
Describing vulnerability, as emotions are openly displayed
Oh I let you go
Reiteration of the decision to let you go
Hoped you'd come back to me
Expressing the continued hope for your return
Letters that I write
Referring to written communication, possibly expressing feelings
You won't find you lonely
Suggesting that the letters won't alleviate loneliness
Won't find you thinking about me
Anticipating that you won't be thinking about the writer
Oh I let you go
Repetition of the decision to let you go
And hoped you'd come to me
Reiterating the hope for your return
