Let Me Go Lyrics

You made plans and I, I made problems
We were sleeping back to back
You know this thing wasn't built to last and
Good on paper, picture perfect
Chased the high too far too fast,
Picket white fence but we paint it black
Ooooooooh
And I...

    The song should be about a girl who truly does love the boy who also loves her very much. Yet, she knows she cannot give him the love he deserves. She probably had problems in the past and cannot move past it. She loves the boy but she knows it's selfish to keep him by her side but he deserves more. She wants him to find his own happiness and forget about her. She will continue with her life and wants him to be happy.

    I think the song is about a girl who is all about self-destruction and self-sabotage. She's in a loving relationship with a man but she doesn't think she deserves him. She thinks she hurts him too much and is constantly trying to fix herself for him. She doesn't see that he loves her and this is why she wants him to let her go. She wants him to move on because she thinks he deserves better than her. She thinks that he deserves happiness and she deserves to be alone or be with someone who will hurt her as equally as she hurts them. Self-destruction and self-sabotage suck.

    I think this song portraits two person who love each other immensely ... but somehow there came a gap between them and both of them thought the other half don't love them as they used to therefore she said him to go and love someone else who will love him more but she doesn't know that no one can love him more than her. ... he don't want anyone else .... he just want her

    I think it’s about someone who truly loves her in ways she doesn’t understand because she just wants to move on, chase the feeling of butterflies that she misguidedly mistakes for love, and hook up with other guys. So, to appease her guilty conscience and because she thinks she can do better, she is telling him to let go and find someone who loves him in the same way. She’s incredibly superficial and doesn’t understand yet that having someone who loves you and doesn’t give up on you is rare in this world. And most people just look for instant gratification and take the easy route of giving up rather than working through problems and building something that actually shows you’re capable of love and willing to work hard to make it last. Love isn’t effortless, relationships actually take work and are built on mutual respect and value- butterflies don’t last for anyone. She says she wishes he would hurt her more so she can feel better about herself? So he was good to her. She is right then- someone would love him better than her. She’s a selfish, self-important child and he can take comfort in the fact that she will someday be on the receiving end of her own song.

    i think it is saying the girl wants her boyfriend to break up with her so she wont feel more guilt than she already has.
