Adam Lambert - Can't Let You Go Lyrics

Artist: Adam Lambert

Album: For Your Entertainment

Genre: Pop

  • Songwriters: Claude Kelly, Greg Wells

Oh yeah

Guess it was not meant to be
But it's not as bad as it seems
It only burns when I breathe, yeah

You saw the way that I fell
But I'm better off by myself
That's the tale I like to tell, yeah

But it's not that easy for me to say goodbye
And everything in me wants you back in my life

Can't let you go
Can't let you go, oh

It feels like the dawn of the dead
Like bombs goin' off in my head
Never a moment of rest, yeah

Nothing kills more than to know
That this is the end of the road
And I know I gotta let go, oh

But it's not that easy for me to say goodbye
And everything in me wants you back in my life

Can't let you go
Can't let you go
Can't let you go
Can't let you go, oh

Wish I could just find a way
To have all your memories erased
'Cause constantly they're haunting me

But it's not that easy for me to say goodbye!
And everything in me wants you back in my life!

Can't let you go
Can't let you go
Can't let you go
Can't let you go, oh

I can't let you go, oh
I can't let you go, oh

    The lyrics and how Adam sings the song breakes my heart everytime I listen to it. Adam is unigue his sound is beatifull his voice is angel like. I wish I could meet him one day and tell him that. I wonder if Adam ever had this heartbreaking tale of romance he sings about. I hope not. Adam I wish you all the happiness in the world! love ya x

    This is such a hauntingly beautiful song. The high notes are incredible, and and even when the song mellows out, it still has that sing that makes it perfect. Another great son from Adam Lambert. I think it means something about heartbreak. "Guess it was not meant to be, It's not as bad as it seems." it sounds like he's suffering from losing his love, and he can't stand the pain "It only burns when I breathe, you saw the way that I fell." It sounds like he's in love but he has to let that person go because he doesn't want to hurt them, but no matter what he does, he can't stop hurting them. He's making excuses to try and let them go, but they can't because they love him too. "But I'm better off by myself, that's the tale I like to tell." It seems like it's hard for him to let go. "But it's not that easy for me to say goodbye, everything in me wants you back in my life, can't let you go, can't let you go." He starts to have doubts about the decisions he's going to make, and he's hurting, and it all feels hopeless to him "It feels like the dawn of the dead, like bombs going off in my head" He just wants to forget about that someone because it's making him not be able to sleep "Never a moment of rest, nothing kills more than to know, this is the end of the road, and now I gotta let go." The person he's trying to let go doesn't want to let go, so he wants them to forget "Wish I could find a way, to have all your memories erased, 'coz constantly they're haunting me." All in all, this is a deep emotional song, and it's about not wanting to let go of the one you love even though you know you have to. Nice one, Adam. This song makes me like and love you even more as an artist. This is your deepest song so far by far.
