Let You Go Lyrics

I met you where nobody knew my name
and our spark quickly turned into a flame
winter nights are feeling hot like summer inside
I can’t get you off my mind

I don’t want to know
why I can’t let you go
say you need this

I remember the first words that you said
and I can’t get that night out of my head
complicated but I’m not frustrated
'cause I know that you’re out there
patiently waiting

I don’t want to know
why I can’t let you go
say you need this
I don’t want to know
why I can’t let you go
you go...

when the sun burns up
and the ocean dries out
I’ll be all you need
all you need to breathe
when the moon falls down
from the black night sky
I will light the way
promise me you’ll stay

I know that you feel it
still you won’t believe in me
my heart pounds like thunder
I don’t need to wonder

I don’t want to know
why I can’t let you go
say you need this
I don’t want to know
why I can’t let you go

I don't wanna know (wanna know)
I don't wanna know (wanna know)
I don't wanna know (x2)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
