Artist: Lesley Roy

Album: Unbeautiful

Genre: Pop

  • Songwriters: Per Henrik Aldeheim, Camela Leierth, Max Martin, Lesley Teresa Roy, Martin Karl Sandberg

Well, it finally had to end this bitter way
We had no more left to give no matter what we said
'Cause I worried every night and slept all day
I was lying to myself pretending to be someone else

You love me so but it's over
Just let me go, we're going nowhere
I feel like I'm dead but breathin'
I know because my heart is beatin'
Just let me go 'cause it's over

So you try to work it out and get some help
You've been fooling everyone but I know what's going on
I can't hold your hand through this again
We keep lying to ourselves pretending to be something else

You love me so but it's over
Just let me go, we're going nowhere
I feel like I'm dead but breathin'
I know because my heart is beatin'
Just let me go

I'm sorry that I couldn't stay to fill your empty space
It's alright, you'll be fine
I know that you'll be better off in a different place
It's alright, you'll be fine

You love me so but it's over
Just let me go
I feel like I'm dead but breathin'
I know because my heart is beatin'

You love me so but it's over
Just let me go, we're going under
I feel like I'm dead but breathin'
I know because my heart is beatin'
Just let me go 'cause it's over

    I think there could be 2 meanings to this song.

    1- She realized that the relationship wasn't working for her, and she had to end it because it was too rocky and unstable. She knows she hurt him.. but she had to do what was right for her. He is saying he wants to work things out and make it okay but she knows its just not going to happen.
    -or-
    2- She doesn't think she's worth the guy so she ends it. He tries to convince her it would work but she just can't see it. She feels bad about hurting him but she thinks he'll be better off without her.

    Take your pick its just my opinion. I personally am relating to the 1st..but I hate when ppl tell their sob stories on comments so I won't do that :]..
