LET YOU GO is the 8th track on the artist’s 17th studio album and it’s his first try at a guitar ballad
In the song, Josh goes over one of his past relationships and talks about how he essentially messed up leading to the breakup and how he regrets his bad actions
[Chorus]
And it's so hard for me to let you know
That I never should've let you go
But that's just a road I chose
I finally see it, but it's out of my hands now (It's out of my hands now)
And I'm always runnin' away, was scared of showin' emotions
Want you out of my brain, so I've been downin' these potions
But I know it won't change, I couldn't fix it, it's broken
It's always my mistakes
[Verse 1]
You make me anxious
But how could I complain? I did the same shit
Too busy by myself to see you hate this
I never saw the signs, we wouldn't make it
And now I ain't sleepin' much, all in my head too much
Wishin' I gave it up, but I couldn't make it up
So I'll down another one hopin' I get off it
I don't want another love so I'm movin' cautious
[Pre-Chorus]
And we're tryin' to carry on, but we're lyin'
To say our love's not dyin'
But I can't see a world without you now
[Chorus]
And it's so hard for me to let you know
That I never should've let you go
But that's just a road I chose
I finally see it, but it's out of my hands now (It's out of my hands now)
And I'm always runnin' away, was scared of showin' emotions
Want you out of my brain, so I've been downin' these potions
But I know it won't change, I couldn't fix it, it's broken
It's always my mistakes
[Verse 2]
Way too many fights, way too little conversations
Tried to get it right, but I never had the patience
Always on my mind, that's my first love wasted
But do you even care?
'Cause if you really hate me, I don't blame you
I never really gave you enough
But I would kill just to hear you say you love me again
I never meant for the way that everything had to end
And just know I'm sorry now
[Pre-Chorus]
And we're tryin' to carry on but we're lyin'
To say our love's not dyin'
But I can't see a world without you now
[Chorus]
And it's so hard for me to let you know
That I never should've let you go
But this just a road I chose
I finally see it, but it's out of my hands now (It's out of my hands now)
And I'm always runnin' away, was scared of showin' emotions
Want you out of my brain, so I've been downin' these potions
But I know it won't change, I couldn't fix it, it's broken
It's always my mistakes
