I wanna let you go

"I wanna let you go" is a song by LorD and Master. It was, in fact, the first song he wrote as a solo artist following his breakup from Tommy Bailey-Graham. Originally, it was sung by Gemma Carter, but after five years, Dan decided to record the track himself and have Gemma reprise her vocal ad-libs on the track.

Lyrics

I wanna let you go but my hands won't loosen their grips
If I see you falling, I can reach out with my fingertips
I wanna let you go, but I can't let you pack your case
I can't let you leave me, delete me from your database

I know I should move on now
Just imagine you've gone now
I wanna let you go, I wanna, wanna let you go

I wanna let you go, but I can't let you walk out the door
I guess I can't take that I won't see you for ever more
I wanna let you go, but I know I am hopelessly yours
I know you'll never ask me why, 'cause I know you know you are the cause

I know I should move on now
Just imagine you've gone now
I wanna let you go, I wanna, wanna let you go

I wanna let you go, I wanna, wanna let you go
Pack your case
I wanna let you go, I wanna, wanna let you go
Walk out the door
I wanna let you go, I wanna, wanna let you go
Hopelessly yours
I wanna let you go, I wanna, wanna let you go
You know you are the cause

I wanna let you go, I wanna, wanna let you go
I can't take this any more
I wanna let you go, I wanna, wanna let you go
Hopelessly yours, hopelessly yours
I wanna let you go, I wanna, wanna let you go
You're the one that's letting go
I wanna let you go, I wanna, wanna let you go
Losing my grip, so pack your things
I wanna let you go, I wanna, wanna let you go
