about

I wrote "Let You Go" while reflecting on a friendship that had become unhealthy. It was written during a period where both my friend and I took time away from each other to evaluate keeping our friendship or letting it go. The song was written before the breakup of the friendship and captures the thoughts going on in my head during that time.

"Let You Go" is a cry of desperation that was written in the (very) small and humid bathroom of a cruise ship state room at 11pm, with my sister sleeping a few feet away from me. It's a story of how sometimes we need to let go of friendships that become toxic and unhealthy, and how, whether we're ready or not, those friendships need to go, and we need to learn to be okay with it.

"Let You Go" is by far one of the most heartbreaking, honest songs I've ever written.

lyrics

LET YOU GO

It’s been fifteen days since we talked last
I’ve been stuck thinking about our past
You helped me to feel safe inside my skin
Now I want to flip it outside in

You’re still in my head, I can’t move on
We’ve got to leave the bed, it’s almost dawn
How much longer can our friendship last
You’ve used me, I feel like an outcast

Yeah I see guys who’ve had best friends since they were six
It hurts to think I’ve lost all mine by trying to get my fix
When you move from coast to coast to learn what you were meant to do

Fresh starts don’t mean you’ll find your soul
I don’t want to give you up
But I have to let you go

Yeah I see guys who’ve had best friends since they were six
It hurts to think I’ve lost all mine by trying to get my fix
When you move from coast to coast to learn what you were meant to do

Best friends don’t mean you’ll find your soul
I don’t want to give you up
But I have to let you go


So I watch the lights turn down,
turn around, and don’t look back, cuz I’m all alone

So I watch the lights turn down,
turn around, and don’t look back, cuz I’m all alone

I gotta let you…
