Your empty promises
Stop filling up my mind while my loves’ away
Temptation calls me
To this and loveless fools believe
Their guilty hearts still bleed
But their cold lifeless heart beats wear them out
'Your empty promises' This means that whoever he is singing about promises things but never mean them, they are constantly being lied to about whether they love them or not. 'Stop filling up my mind while my loves away' The person singing this is asking them to stop making them drift, or giving them the choice to drift from one relationship to another just because there partner isn't with them at the moment. 'Temptation calls me To this and loveless fools believe Their guilty hearts still bleed But their cold lifeless heart beats wear them out' Being given the choice to go back to the person they loved first is a bad thing when they already have someone new, and this could be saying that people who are single wouldn't think twice but they feel like their heart is still damaged from how they left the relationship, and each time their heart beats it makes them feel more and more tired and more more confused each day as they maybe thinking it through trying to figure out what went wrong and this makes them feel more tired.
[Chorus] Cause you’re the heart break that I couldn’t deal with
You were the mistake
That no-one could save me from
But I know I’m better off leaving now
You are the only reason I want it more
You know I want to be on my own tonight
I just keep on running
You know I want to be on my own tonight
Tonight I let you go
'Cause your the heart break i couldn't deal with' This could be saying that he loved her so much but when they broke up it was one of the headrest things he has ever had to deal with because of how much he loved her and thought they were fine together. 'You were the mistakes That no-one could save me from' This means that although his friends may have been saying how bad she was for him he wouldn't listen because he loved her, but at the end of the day it was his choice with what he was doing and no-one can tell him what to do. 'But i know better off leaving now You are the only reason i want it more' Saying that he is leaving is one of the strongest things he could do as the mistakes that were made could have been missed and the fact that she still wants him makes him need to leave more as he needs to be alone and think things through. 'You know i want to be on my own tonight I just keep on running' He wants to run away from what has gone wrong in the relationship and she knows that but she still wants him to stay but he feels like running away and forgetting about it. 'You know i want to be on my own tonight Tonight i let you go' When he sings tonight i let you go he is saying that he doesn't want the relationship anymore and he doesn't know what else to do apart from be on his own and not have anyone to think or worry about.
My insecurities
Playing 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 keep
You should go before the night time lets you down
'My insecurities Playing on my mind, colours never change' His insecurities could be all the things wrong in the relationship and all the things he worries about on a day to day bases about himself, he is having to think about them more than ever and they feel true, nothing in life is changing and that is also affecting him. 'You should come back, come back, come back, and look for more' This could be him saying that although he left the relationship he wishes that he hadn't and that she hadn't of just walked away and maybe fought for him. 'But love that runs too deep Stolen moments we couldn't keep' The love that had felt so real and true but all the things that went wrong were stronger than what they had. 'You should go before the night lets you down' The man singing is saying that if she thinks the night is going to be like normal when they were a couple she would be thinking wrong because what they had is now gone and he inst going to pretend anymore.
The chorus is then repeated[Chorus] Cause you’re the heart break that I couldn't deal with
You were the mistake
That no-one could save me from
But I know I’m better off leaving now
You are the only reason I want it more
You know I want to be on my own tonight
I just keep on running
You know I want to be on my own tonight
Tonight I let you go
With the same meaning as the first time it is sung, the point of the chorus is to help make the listeners remember it as it is meant to be the most memorable part of the song so you know the name.
Tonight I let you go
Heart break, heart break
Heart break (tonight I let you go)
Heart, heart break
Heart break, heart break, heart heart break
Tonight, heart break
Heart break, heart break, heart break, heart break, heart break
I just keep on running
You’re the heart break
I couldn't deal with
You were the mistake that no-one could save me from
But I know I’m better off leaving now
You 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 tonight
Tonight I let you go
Tonight I let you go
Tonight I let you go
'Heart break, heart break Heart break (tonight i let you go)' Here he is saying that his heart is now broken but he is still going to let the girl go because what they have at the moment isn't working so there is no point lying in the relationship, he repeats this three times. He then goes back to sing the chorus, and then back to talking about breaking up with her because it isn't working between them and there is no point holding on to something that isn't there.
The Colours say that 'Tonight I let you go' is a song about the movement from one relationship to another. But it isn't a soppy love song. Putting a brave face on the inner discomfort exposed within the lyrics, this upbeat song puts a lighter spin on a darker matter.
