If I Let You Go Lyrics

Day after day, time passed away And I just can't get you off my mind Nobody knows, I hide it inside I keep on searching but I can't find The courage to show, to letting you know I've never felt so much love before And once again I'm thinking about Taking the easy way out But if I let you go I will never know What my life would be Holding you close to me Will I ever see You smiling back at me? (Oh yeah) How will I know If I let you go? Night after night I hear myself say Why can't this feeling just fade away? There's no one like you (no one like you) You speak to my heart (speak to my heart) It's such a shame we're worlds apart I'm too shy to ask, I'm too proud to lose But sooner or later I gotta choose And once again I'm thinking about Taking the easy way out But if I let you go I will never know What my life would be Holding you close to me Will I ever see You smiling back at me? (Oh yeah) How will I know If I let you go? If I let you go... ooh baby Ooohh Once again I'm thinking about Taking the easy way out But if I let you go (oooooh) I will never know What my life would be Holding you close to me (close to me yeah) Will I ever see You smiling back at me? (Oh yeah) How will I know if I let you go? But if I let you go I will never know (oh baby) Will I ever see you smiling back at me? (oh yeah) How will I know If I let you go?

Meaning of If I Let You Go

“If I Let You Go” is a poignant ballad exploring the agonizing fear of losing love and the uncertainty that accompanies taking a leap of faith. The lyrics reveal a deeply vulnerable individual consumed by an overwhelming affection for someone they feel is impossibly distant, highlighting the internal struggle between courage and crippling shyness. They’re trapped in a cycle of contemplation, repeatedly considering the “easy way out” – letting this person go – because the thought of potential rejection and never experiencing that profound connection terrifies them. The repeated question "How will I know?" encapsulates the core emotion: a desperate yearning for reciprocation coupled with agonizing doubt. Westlife’s message is one of heartfelt longing, showcasing the bittersweet pain of unrequited love and the terrifying prospect of losing something truly precious before it's even fully realized.
