“Let You Go” is the 4th release off MGK’s Bloom. The song finds MGK reminiscing the night he met a girl and the memories of their relationship that he had to “let go” as the spark between him and his girl has gone and she can no longer get “high off [him] like [a] drug”
MGK gave some background on...
[Intro]
Since you left, I've been holding on to a memory
Since you walked out that door (Yeah)
And you said I changed and you're so damn sick of me
You're not mine anymore, two, three, four
[Chorus]
Woah, woah
She said, "You need to let me go"
Woah, woah
She said, "I'd die for you"
"You're like my drug but, I can't get high off you"
You're not mine anymore
[Verse 1]
Ayy, I still remember what you wore on the first night
Still remember how that black dress had your curves right
Still remember smokin' just to calm my nerves
'Til you had to leave and grabbed your purse, I grabbed first
Uh, it's no words, yeah, it's just her
Body against mine, makeup on my shirt
Lipstick on my neck, whiskey on my breath
Takin' pictures in the moment so we don't forget, yeah
[Chorus]
Woah, woah
She said, "You need to let me go"
Woah, woah
She said, "I'd die for you"
"You're like my drug but, I can't get high off you"
You're not mine anymore
[Verse 2]
And I can't be myself without you
I am not well
Okay, I said that before but
I need you now, yeah
[Chorus]
Woah, woah
She said, "You need to let me go"
Woah, woah
She said, "I'd die for you"
"You're like my drug but, I can't get high off you"
You're not mine anymore
[Bridge]
Since you left, I've been holding on to a memory
Since you walked out that door, hm
And you said I changed and you're so damn sick of me
You're not mine anymore (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
Woah, woah
She said, "You need to let me go" (She said, "Let me go")
Woah, woah
She said, "I'd die for you" (I'd die for you)
"You're like my drug but, I can't get high off you" (But, I can't get high off you)
You're not mine anymore
