Maybe if my heart stops
Beating it won't hurt this much
And never will I have to
Answer again to anyone

Please don't get me wrong
Because I'll never let this go,
But I can't find the words to tell you
I don't wanna be alone,
But now I feel like I don't know you

One day you'll get sick of saying
That everything's alright
And by then I'm sure I'll be
Pretending just like I am tonight

Please don't get me wrong
Because I'll never let this go,
But I can't find the words to tell you
I don't wanna be alone,
But now I feel like I don't know you

Let this go,
Let this go

I'll never let this go,
But I can't find the words to tell you
I don't wanna be alone,
But now I feel like I don't know you

And I'll never let this go,
But I can't find the words to tell you
That now I feel like I don't know you

    General Comment:Something tells me this is written to God, like she is expressing doubts but she knows deep inside that she will never let go of her relationship with God

    General Comment:I love how in the live version she changes the bridge to:

    Let this go
    I'll never let you go

    Instead of just repeating let this go. Great song.

    The song is definitely about being in a relationship with someone and drifting apart from them, for whatever reason. It's become such a habit that both people just go through the motions of the relationship, pretending like nothing's wrong. You still care about them, but you just can't stand being in the relationship any longer.

    Great song, great album.

    General Comment:i've always imagined this song being associated with teen pregnancy...but that's just me. i mean i seriously doubt that's what it was written for, but i think this goes with it pretty well, like from a perspective of a pregnant teen.

    Memory:It could be about a friendship, or a family member. Not Just love... Simply because I have a friend who keep changing, but my problem is... They are my best friend, and they are constantly changing... It's so painful trying to keep up with it all... My brother is the changing family member. He used to be a huge christain. Used to be a good person. Now, he abuses me when our parents aren't around, and he turned athestist and I choose to respect his religion, unlike the way he doesn't respect mine.
    Although, I've never had a boyfriend with these problems

    she feels that she wants to die because then it would stop hurting her. and everyone keeps asking her about whats going on and she wants it all to stop.

    Please don't get me wrong
    because I'll never let this go,
    but I can't find the words to tell you
    I don't wanna be alone,
    but now I feel like I don't know you

    She’ll never let him go, because he was her first love. But she is too scared to tell him how she feels, and she’s losing him, because she’s scared of talking to him.

    One day you'll get sick of saying
    that everything's alright
    and by then I'm sure I'll be free
    Pretending just like I am tonight
    -
    she hopes that one day he’ll understand that she’s still in love with him and she wont get over him, and she hopes by then that she will be over him, like she’s pretending she is.

    Let this go,
    let this go
    -
    This is as if she’s telling herself to just let him go.

    That’s what I think about it anyway.

    General Comment:i think it could be just about losing a friend and the depression that comes along with it. not all songs are always about boy and girl relationships...it could be that too but i just dont identify wih some of those songs as much.

    General Comment:Yup
    :/
    Fell madly hardly in love with someone that I don't even know.
    The worst part is that he knows he hasn't opened up yet :|

    General Comment:This song describes my now old situation, and my old boyfriend didnt want to have a break, he didnt believe in them, but i couldnt stand being treated the way i was being treated cuz he had changed so much. He tried to get me back, oh so hard. But it would have been a third chance. It was just taking wayyy too much out of me. I had to let him go.
