Pete Murray - Let You Go Lyrics

It's been four long years gone by now
Can see the shape I'm in
Rest assured I'm on my way
How'd you get me to the place I been
Only you know it's always faith
Now all my faith's in a spin
As I'm almost on my way
Now please take me right in

Because every word has been a moment in time
You're like a poem that's caught in my head
I curse the day when I'll see that lonely smile
But it's better than playin' pretend
And I know, yes I know
That I have to let you go
Let you go,
Let you go, just like I want you to stay
Let you go, let you go
Let you go, just like I want you to stay

It's the time now, it's all there
It's way out, that's been wearin' me thin
I stop right now and say bye to all this
And take it right on the chin
Only you know that when your faith's out
A new faith will begin
As the darkness slowly fades now
Come let the light in

Because every word has been a moment in time
You're like a poem that's caught in my head
I curse the day when I'll see that lonely smile
But it's better than playin' pretend
And I know, yes I know
That I have to let you go
Let you go,
Let you go, just like I want you to stay
Let you go, let you go
Let you go, just like I want you to stay

Because every word has been a moment in time
You're like a poem that's caught in my head
I curse the day when I'll see that lonely smile
But it's better than playin' pretend
And I know, yes I know
That I have to let you go
Let you go,
Let you go, just like I want you to stay
Let you go, let you go
Let you go, just like I want you to stay

It's been four long years gone by now
Can see the shape i'm in
Rest assured i'm on my way
How'd you get me to the place i been
Only you know it's always faith
Now all my faith's in a spin
As i'm almost on my way
Now please take me right in
Because every word has been a moment in time
You're like a poem that's caught in my head
I curse the day when i'll see that lonely smile
But it's better than playin' pretend
And i know, yes i know
That i have to let you go
Let you go,
Let you go, just like i want you to stay
Let you go, let you go
Let you go, just like i want you to stay
It's the time now, it's all there
It's way out, that's been wearin' me thin
I stop right now and say bye to all this
And take it right on the chin
Only you know that when your faith's out
A new faith will begin
As the darkness slowly fades now
Come let the light in
Because every word has been a moment in time
You're like a poem that's caught in my head
I curse the day when i'll see that lonely smile
But it's better than playin' pretend
And i know, yes i know
That i have to let you go
Let you go,
Let you go, just like i want you to stay
Let you go, let you go
Let you go, just like i want you to stay
Because every word has been a moment in time
You're like a poem that's caught in my head
I curse the day when i'll see that lonely smile
But it's better than playin' pretend
And i know, yes i know
That i have to let you go
Let you go,
Let you go, just like i want you to stay
Let you go, let you go

Very romantic, but you know -you actually don't have to. I'm here. x

Pete Murray your music and words just soothes me

I have been lucky to have been on stage with him and he is a gent

Who is the lady in the background? She has a nice voice

I was wondering that too

I was wondering that too

I was wondering that too

Bic Runga

this guy deserves so much more recognition for the honest music he puts out. Onya Pete!

I absolutely love this song

Hits hard. Recently ended it with a long term girlfriend as I was pretending to feel things that weren't there; because of how great she was. Working through it is hard, but a song like that makes me feel less alone. Shows me it isn't just me in this situation. It can happen, and it's going to be okay.

I found this song helped me too. After a my first heart ache.

Yeah I feel you guys I let my first love go and it hurt so hard but I knew it was the right thing to do to be happy again no matter how much I loved her and this was back in September 2016 but I now hope I fall in love again as I miss having that someone but I'm glad I know I'm happy myself.
Only just found this song I can relate to it too such a good song but Let her go by Passenger was my breakup song that I cried to.

Love this song so much

"...'cause every word has been a moment time..."
Great, like all other Pete's song !!!

sad song..love this and better days

My film maker side .. loves this film clip.. the music lover in me adores this song.  the person lover in me loves Pete in this..handsome as ever.. beautifully written this one

Dark road 
in the night 
winding
doesnt bring me to you
only brings the black

I agree with some of the other comments, Pete deserves a lot more credits than he gets.

Amazing singer/song writer.

beautiful.

omg i know... WTF literally. this is one of the best songs ... and for an aussie artist its just so beautifully written....really crazy! needs more of this sound...

It's a song that the world would love, if they had the opportunity to hear it. I wish it could get more exposure.

Did you not read the comment? At no point did they claim that it was true, they simply said they heard it on the radio. Get your understanding of the English language straight.

Calm down?

Wish he had more credit, for wonderful music.

Beautiful!

So hauntingly beautiful! Especially love the change at 1:03. Gives you a deep sadness but you just can't stop listening to it. Great song Pete

really?? what a bloke!!

I love your music, can't get enough.

Best Australian artist. I don't give a fuck.

Nawwhh!! :'(
Those dislikes must be because they dislike to cry..
Pete, oh, Pete.. Why don't people see..
Music would be nothing if it weren't for thee.

Hauntingly beautiful, exquisitely photographed

Você era da sala do CamFrog Amigos para sempre não era?
A sala ainda existe?

Hey Pete Murray is a great artist, I've loved his music for years!! But yeah he doesn't get as much credit as he deserves!! Just looked up what this songs about and this is what i found;
Singer Pete Murray this month will release songs written by two cancer patients from The Royal Melbourne Hospital, with his third single 'Let You Go'on his Benefit EP on iTunes, as part of a promise he made to them seven years ago.
Sadly Kate and Caroline died within six months of each other in 2005
pretty sad

I heard on the radio it was about him splitting with his wife

Wow this is beautiful! Thanks for your great music mr. Pete :)

Im from Canada and he is probably one of my favorite musicians. He was here on his first tour last month opening for a local act and i missed it! Was SO choked! Awesome artist Australia!

this guy needs alot more credit

what an amazing guy pete is :)

I LOVE HIS VOICE

pete and john mayer should sing together again...

I know right, wtf ayy!

Beautiful...smooth, soothing, sweet...thoughtful...nice work Pete! Reflects your soul...

How can this have 2000 views and people like nicky minaj have 250 million hits
