I Won't Let You Go Lyrics
Take a little time to hold yourself
Take a little time to feel around before it's gone
You won't let go but still keep from falling down
Remember how you save me now from all of my wrongs
Yeah
And if there's life will see it
This ain't no time to be alone, alone yeah
I won't let you go
Say those words like there's nothing else
Close your eyes and you might believe
That there is some way out
Open up your heart to me now
Let it all come pouring out
There's nothing I can't take
And if there's life will see it
This ain't no time to be alone, alone yeah
I won't let you go
(Won't let you go)
(Won't let you go)
Just take my hand and hold it
You don't have to be alone, alone yeah
I won't let you go
(Won't let you go)
(Won't let you go)
And you're too weak to carry on the fight
And all your friends that you care for have disappeared
I'll be here not gone, forever holding on
And if there's life will see it
This ain't no time to be alone, alone yeah
I won't let you go
(Won't let you go)
(Won't let you go)
Just take my hand and hold it
You don't have to be alone, alone yeah
I won't let you go
(Won't let you go)
(Won't let you go)
I won't let
I won't let you go
No, I won't let
I won't let you go
I won't let you go

Nobody has anything to say about this song? It's a sweet well intentioned song. About a love affair either ended and he isn't wanting to let it go,or he is trying to get his female friend to become a friend with benefits? But ya once it's gone,it's gone and its' healthier to let go and move on then to hang onto something that was never really there. James Morrison is a great artist. :)
And he has no say in the matter because he has dictated the outcome and I have outgrown his inabilties.

I have an inkling that there is more to this song than meets the eye. Sure it is also a love song, perhaps his previous love who he is no longer with but still cares about to some degree...? If the sky is really falling, and this life is really ending then why be alone .. perhaps this means to stop causing pain (to himself, and or his past loves) and just enjoy right now, today, because that is all we really have, ever. The final part of the music clip shows that everyone lays down on the road - so why are all those people in the clip at all? Maybe we should all lay down our guns and just be at peace. The album is called "Awakening", I personally get the message loud and clear.

I believe this song is about suicide, at least someone thinking of suicide. The reason I feel this way is I have been on the other side of a suicide attempt, and the words in this song echo what a dear dear friend said to me and what I said to him as the crisis was happening. I was fortunate enough to have some training on the signs of suicide, but in most cases the signs are very subtle and go unnoticed, Do yourself a favor and learn the signs, it could save the life of a loved one.
I can see where some believe this song is about love and/or the heartache of being in love with someone who doesn't want to be with you anymore. I'm sure this song has many different meanings to different people, according to what they have experienced in their life.
But when I hear the song I see a someone who is in a dark place and feels there is nothing worth living for. But this one person is telling him that even though all of your friends and family have abandoned you, I won't let you go, no matter what, just give me your hand...I won't let you go.
