LET HER GO
Eternal Love's Plea: Embracing Imperfection in 'Let Her Go'
Lyrics
I love my space
I value my personal space.
And I love my routine
I appreciate my daily routine.
For me to break that for somebody
I would only disrupt my routine for a truly special person.
It would just have to be a really special person
The person must be exceptionally significant for me to make such a change.
That I get along with so much to the point
We must connect deeply for me to consider such a sacrifice.
That when we're separate, I'm feeling like
Separation should make me feel incomplete without them.
I can't function properly without their presence
Their absence should affect my functioning.
She's a little too perfect for me
She seems almost too perfect for me.
She deserves the world but that ain't me
I acknowledge her deserving the best, but I might not be that person.
And I know you're hurting your past
Acknowledging the pain from her past.
And I know that we will last for real
Confident that their relationship will endure.
Just don't let me go
A plea not to be let go.
I can't let her go
Expressing difficulty in letting her go.
I can't let her go no
Reiterating the difficulty of letting her go.
I can't let her go
Continued struggle with letting her go.
I can't let her go
Continued difficulty in letting her go.
All your imperfections I can't mention
Not mentioning her imperfections due to her purity.
Cause you're so pure
She is pure and brings enduring qualities.
I endure in you
Expressing enduring feelings for her.
I want more of you
Desire for more of her.
I need more of you
Expressing a need for more of her.
I want all of you
Expressing a desire for all of her.
Just hold me close
A request to be held close and not let go.
And don't let go
Emphasizing the importance of not letting go.
Until we're gray and old
Desiring a lasting relationship until old age.
I just wanted you to know
A desire for the partner to know something important.
Want you to know
Reiteration of the desire for the partner to know something.
You're the light to my darkness
Comparing the partner to light in darkness.
You're the paint to my artist
Comparing the partner to the paint in an artist's work.
In a world so ugly
Highlighting the partner's ability to make the world seem beautiful.
You make it seem so beautiful
Emphasizing the partner's positive impact on the world.
Hopefully I can find somebody that, you know
Hoping for a supportive partner in life's journey.
Can just stand beside me at the wheel
Desiring a partner to stand by during life's challenges.
And help me steer while we keep the journey going
Seeking a companion to navigate life's journey together.
As opposed to me having to pull over and stop
Expressing a preference for a smooth journey without interruptions.
Cause that person is getting seasick
Avoiding disruptions caused by someone not handling challenges well.
Just don't let me go
A plea not to be let go, repeated.
I can't let her go
Reiteration of the difficulty in letting her go.
I can't let her go no
Continued struggle with letting her go, repeated.
I can't let her go
Continued difficulty in letting her go, repeated.
I can't let her
