Lyrics
Been so long since I've seen you smile
Expressing the absence of the person's smile for a long time
The way you used to do
Recalling how the person used to smile in a specific way
Something's changed but it's hard to tell
Noticing a change but unsure if it's a personal or mutual change
If it's me or if it's you
Questioning whether the change is in the speaker or the other person
Words come hard after all this time
Struggling to find words after a long period of silence
You see there's nothing left to say
Acknowledging a lack of words and a sense of closure
Let's face it, baby, though we really tried
Admitting that despite efforts, the relationship is not sustainable
You know we can't go on this way
Recognizing the impossibility of continuing in the current manner
Let me go
Directly requesting to be released from the relationship
Let me go
Repeating the plea to be let go, emphasizing the urgency
All I want from you
Stating a simple desire for freedom
Is just to let me go
Reiterating the request for release
Once lovers now we don't touch
Describing the current state where intimacy is lost
Making love don't mean a thing
Emphasizing that physical intimacy has lost its significance
Even close we're so far away
Feeling emotionally distant even in close physical proximity
Only time will ease the pain
Believing that only time can heal the emotional pain
Ain't no use in your hangin' on
Advising the other person to let go and move on
Why don't you just let it be
Suggesting acceptance of the situation
Hate to say it but there ain't no way
Regretfully acknowledging the necessity of ending the relationship
But time for you to set me free, yes
Stating that it's time for the other person to grant freedom
Let me go
Repeating the plea for release with emphasis
Let me go
Continuing to express the urgency of being set free
Oh, all I want from you
Reiterating the simple desire to be let go
Is just to let me go
Emphasizing the importance of granting freedom
Let me go
Repeatedly requesting to be released from the relationship
Let me go
Continuing the urgent plea to let go
Oh, all I want from you
Reiterating the simple desire for freedom
Is just to let me go
Stressing the importance of being released
Let me go
Continuing to request freedom
Let me go
Persistently expressing the need to be let go
Oh, all I want from you
Reiterating the simple desire to be released
Is just to let me go
Stressing the importance of being set free
Let me go
Continuing to urgently request to be let go
Let me go
Repeating the plea for release with emphasis
Oh, all I want from you
Stressing the simple desire for freedom
You got to let me go
Underlining the necessity for the other person to let go
Oh, all I want from you
Reiterating the plea for freedom
Is just to let me go
Emphasizing the importance of being let go
Oh, all I want from you
Stressing the simplicity of the desire for release
All I want from you
Repeating the request for freedom
Oh please, turn me loose
Final plea to be set free
