Let It Fall Lyrics

Let it fall, let it fall,
Let it fall, let it fall.

So I weep
So I weep
So I weep
So I weep

In my weakest moments I weep,
'Cause I like the way, tears fit my cheek,
In my darkest moments I cry,
Oh how I love the way, tears suit my face.

I like it salt,
I like it wet,
Like my makeup in a mess,
So I cry hard,
Let it fall,
And I won't stop until my tears are all shed,

So I weep,
So I weep,
So I weep,
So I weep...
And i wont stop until my tears are all shed..
Let it fall, let it fall...

In my joyous moments I moan,
'Cause it feels so good when I let my water flow
Drip drop, and I cannot stop,
Can't stop, no I said no,
Drip drop, and I cannot stop,
Can't stop,
I cry for you, cry for you,
I cry because I cannot help it,
So it runs, yes it falls,
And ain't no stopping at all.

I like it salt,
I like it wet,
Like my makeup in a mess,
So I cry hard,
Let it fall,
And I won't stop until my tears are all shed.

So I weep
So I weep
So I weep
So I weep
So I weep...
And i wont stop til my tears are all shed.
Let it fall
Let it fall...
So I weep
So I weep
So I weep,
Let it fall...

Let it fall.

I don't know if she's a brilliant lyricist or just didn't conjugate her verb correctly, but this is amazing...

In my weakest moments I weep, 'Cause I like the way tears fit my cheek, In my darkest moments I cry, Oh how I love the way tears suits my face.

The 4th line there is definitely "tears SUITS my face", which is what gets me. With that conjugation, she makes "tears" from a plural (as it is in the second line) to a singular state as if to say "oh how I love the way [being in] tears suits my face".

I'm pretty sure she did that intentionally, too. It would be oddly tautologous to use both the 2nd and 4th lines there unless this exact subtlety is what she was going for.

It's so beautiful how she can write a song about loving crying (over someone or just because) and not sounding 'emo' or depressive at all.

I wonder if it's on purpose that she sings "so I weep" like "so happy." Maybe it's just my hearing. This is a very upbeat song, though, and I agree with zito.

Um, maybe it's just me, but I think this song is one big innuendo.

"In my joyous moments I moan, 'cause it feels so good when I let my water flow" "I like it salt, I like it wet, like my makeup in a mess"

And as people have already mentioned, she certainly doesn't SOUND sad, and "so I weep" sounds so much like "so happy."

am i the only one who thinks this song has nothing to do with crying? "i like it salt, i like it wet"? "In my joyous moments I moan, 'Cause it feels so good when I let my water flow. Drip drop, and I cannot stop" Common guys! ElectraInstead is right. its pretty blatant innuendo. to say the absolute frigging least.

teimwelli is right....... inuendo...... do we need to say what it is..... is it not that obvious?

love this song

Cover art for Let It Fall lyrics by Lykke Li

i believe this song is basically saying how it feels good for her to cry.

Cover art for Let It Fall lyrics by Lykke Li

this song is self explanatory

correction in the lyrics:

enjoy this moment should be "in joyous moments I moan"

Cover art for Let It Fall lyrics by Lykke Li

I agree , she makes it sound like "so happy" . Before I looked up the lyrics , I had been singing that so I don't really know what she meant to do . I think it's about a light break up , not one that really hurt her .

Cover art for Let It Fall lyrics by Lykke Li

She's not saying "drip drop" I'm pretty sure she's saying "teardrop".

Anyway I love this song. Ironically, it always makes me happy.
