Let Me Let Go

I listened to this song a lot when I first bought the CD way back when. It's calming.

This is a really good song. My boyfriend and I are having problems and no matter what happens. He's always in my heart.

i love this song, i wish my ex would let me let go.. because i still love him so much, but he keeps stringing me along

Michael. Long story.

This is always the song I go back to when I'm trying to figure out how I feel about my ex. Every single line is just dead on. I love it.

I love this Song - Faith sounds great on it. Off topic, which movie was this song in?

When I heard this song a little while after it’s release, I found a new and interesting perspective on what it could be.

I know it is obviously about a break up and trying to get over it. But listen to the song after reading my theory.

Anyone who’s gone through drug or alcohol addiction knows how hard it is to beat. Listen to the lyrics carefully:

“I thought it was over, baby We said our goodbyes But I can't go a day without your face Goin' through my mind”

She’s trying to quit her habit but she can’t help but remember and crave the escape it provides

“In fact, not a single minute Passes without you in it Your voice, your touch, memories of your love Are with me all of the time”

She desperately wants to quit but the drug won’t let her forget the pleasure it always provided her.

“Let me let go, baby Let me let go If this is for the best, why are you still in my heart Are you still in my soul, let me let go”

She is begging the drug to just let her go and stop controlling her life and mind. She knows quitting is the right thing but she can’t help but yearn for the love and companionship it gives her. She is pleading to please just let go of her and let her heal.

“I talked to you the other day Looks like you made your escape You put us behind, no matter how I try I can't do the same”

She can’t quit no matter what and the only thing she can think of is how easy it is for the addiction to control people and she begs and prays that just let her go and she’ll be fine. She wants so bad to quit but she can’t because the drug won’t let her. In a nutshell, she is the drug when she’s on it and she’s trying to reason with her addict self to just let her go and leave her be. She can’t quit with the drug constantly nagging her to feed it.

“Let me let go, baby Let me let go It just isn't right, I've been two thousand miles Down a dead-end road

Let me let go, darlin', won't you I just gotta know, yeah If this is for the best, why are you still in my heart Are you still in my soul, let me let go”

How can something that feels so good be so bad? She doesn’t understand why she’s so in love with the drug.

“The lights of this strange city are shinin' But they don't hold no fascination for me I try to find the bright side, baby But everywhere I look, everywhere I turn, you're all I see”

She cannot stop thinking about the drug and wants to quit but she can’t. Please god let this thing leave me alone so I can recover!

“Let me, let me let go baby, won't you Let me let go It just isn't right, I've been two thousand miles Down a dead-end road

Oh, let me let go, darlin', won't you I just gotta know If this is for the best, why are you still in my heart Yeah, you're still in my soul, let me let go Let me let go, let me let go”

She’s gonna find a way to get this shit under control if she dies trying.

This is my favorite song of all time. Everytime me and my boyfriend fight, I play this song because I am so into him and I love him very much. I guess this is MY song.

this is an awesome song i love it so much! faith hill is such a great singer, the song is so sweet:D

this song is soooo about me and my ex ... i dont think its about an ex stringing anyone along ... he doesnt want her back ... thats how it is with me and yet i cannot let go of our relationship ... i wish he was stringing me along, but "he put me behind now matter how i try, i cant do the same"
