Analysis ‘Tonight I let you go’

Your empty promisesStop filling up my mind while my loves’ away

Temptation calls meTo this And loveless fools believe

Their guilty hearts still bleedBut their cold lifeless heart beats wear them out

Suggests broken heart

Cant live without her even though he knows that she wont be good to him

This sentence refers to the person who is been unfaithful, ‘loveless fools and ‘cold lifeless heart’ shows that she is not capable of loving him truly portraying her as a in human

[Chorus] Cause you’re the heart break that I couldn’t deal with

You were the mistakeThat no-one could save me from

But I know I’m better off leaving nowYou are the only reason I want it more

You know I want to be on my own tonightI just keep on running

You know I want to be on my own tonightTonight I let you go

Regrets loving her

Suggests that she has done something that he can never forgive i.e. cheating on him,

‘Cause you’re’ emphasizing that she is the heart breaker

Leaving his past memories of her behind

Loved her truly, no one couldn't come between him and his love for her

Metaphorically running away from his pain/problems

Want to be left alone to think about everything

My insecuritiesPlaying on my mind, colours never change

You should come back, come back, come back(And look for more)But love that runs too deep

Stolen moments we couldn’t keepYou should go before the night time lets you down

‘insecurities’ suggesting he always thought that she will cheat on him or leave him one day

‘colours’ could refer to her, suggesting she will never change her attitude,Even if she comes back to him, she will cheat again

Moments that they have missedoutSuggest he might change his opinion

When night comes
