Description
There's a special stage of calm in the world - when the pain no longer tears, but still tugs slightly at your hem. It feels like you can breathe, but you still remember how you used to struggle for air. It's like taking off tight shoes after a long day: both a relief and a shame that you endured it for so long. The song sounds exactly like a sigh pouring out of the speakers. Without a breakdown, without shouting, just a clear "let go." And not out of resentment, but out of tired love that had become too cramped in one body for two. In every chord, there's a little farewell and a little care: leaving not as an escape, but as an attempt to allow each other the right to become better, even if separately.
Lyrics and translation
Original
If you want, you can tell everyone I'm the problem
But I won't sit and watch while you sink to the bottom
And it kills me
Knowin' what it was and what it will be
Maybe we'll be better as a memory
Even if it means that you'll forget me
I think I need to let you go, to let you go (ah-ah, ah-ah)
I think I need to let you go, to let you go (ah-ah, ah-ah)
It doesn't have to be forever, but it has to be right now, right now, ooh
I think I need to let you go, to let you go (ah-ah, ah-ah)
I'll be there if you get sick of playin' the victim
And I swear we can talk when you're ready to listen (ooh, ooh)
And it kills me
Knowin' what it was and what it will be (ah-ah-ah)
Maybe we'll be better as a memory
Even if it means that you'll forget me
I think I need to let you go, to let you go (ah-ah, ah-ah)
I think (I think) I need (I need) to let you go, to let you go (ooh, ah-ah, ah-ah)
It doesn't have to be forever, but it has to be right now, right now, ooh
I think I need to let you go, to let you go (ah-ah, ah-ah)
Go (ah-ah, ah-ah)
Go (ah-ah, ah-ah)
Go
