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.
