«Let Her Go» [Lyrics]
Well you only need the light when its burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know youve been high when youre feeling low
Only hate the road when youre missin home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go
Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day youll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and they go so fast
You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day youll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies
But you only need the light when its burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know youve been high when youre feeling low
Only hate the road when youre missin home
Only know you love her when you let her go
Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast
Well you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
Cause you loved her too much
And you dived too deep
Well you only need the light when its burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know youve been high when youre feeling low
Only hate the road when youre missin home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go
And you let her go
Well you let her go
Cause you only need the light when its burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know youve been high when youre feeling low
Only hate the road when youre missin home
Only know you love her when you let her go
Cause you only need the light when its burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know youve been high when youre feeling low
Only hate the road when youre missin home
Only know you love her when you let her go
— Lyrics:
I met you in the dark, you lit me up
You made me feel as though I was enough
We danced the night away, we drank too much
I held your hair back when
You were throwing up
Then you smiled over your shoulder
For a minute, I was stone-cold sober
I pulled you closer to my chest
And you asked me to stay over
I said, I already told ya
I think that you should get some rest
I knew I loved you then
But youd never know
Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go
I know I needed you
But I never showed
But I wanna stay with you until were grey and old
Just say you wont let go
Just say you wont let go
Ill wake you up with some breakfast in bed
Ill bring you coffee with a kiss on your head
And Ill take the kids to school
Wave them goodbye
And Ill thank my lucky stars for that night
When you looked over your shoulder
For a minute, I forget that Im older
I wanna dance with you right now
Oh, and you look as beautiful as ever
And I swear that everydayll get better
You make me feel this way somehow
Im so in love with you
And I hope you know
Darling your love is more than worth its weight in gold
Weve come so far my dear
Look how weve grown
And I wanna stay with you until were grey and old
Just say you wont let go
Just say you wont let go
I wanna live with you
Even when were ghosts
Cause you were always there for me when I needed you most
Im gonna love you till
My lungs give out
I promise till death we part like in our vows
So I wrote this song for you, now everybody knows
Finally its just you and me till were grey and old
Just say you wont let go
Just say you wont let go
Just say you wont let go
Oh, just say you wont let go
There’s an infestation in my mind’s imagination,
I hope they choke on smoke ‘cause I’m smoking them out the basement,
This is not rap, this is not hip hop,
Just another attempt to make the voices stop,
Rapping to prove nothing, just writing to say something,
‘Cause I wasnt the only one who wasnt rushing to say nothing,
This doesnt mean I lost my dream,
It’s just right now I’ve got a really crazy mind to clean.
Gangsters don’t cry,
Therefore, therefore I’m,
Mr. Misty-eyed, therefore I’m.
Can you save, can you save my,
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
For me, for me,
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
Nah, I didnt understand a thing you said,
If I didnt know better I’d guess you’re all already dead,
Mindless zombies walking around with a limp and a hunch,
Saying stuff like, “you only live once.”
You’ve got one time to figure it out,
One time to twist and one time to shout,
One time to think and I say we start now,
Sing it with me if you know what I’m talking about.
From Gagas brilliant Chromatica album, «911» is a look at mental health issues and perceptions of reality. When the video dropped, the singer hit Instagram to candidly inform her fans of its subject matter, ultimately deeming it «the poetry of pain.» In this Footnotes, director Tarsem Singh explains that the idea for the visuals for a long time and Gagas message fit perfectly. Learn about the fashion director and stylists, the Alexander McQueen dress, the mural on the wall, and other essential tidbits.
