e to go
But I know that it’s time for me to let you know
That I can’t keep holding on to what we had
It’s time for me to move on and not feel sad
The lyrics of “This Time I Can” express the pain and struggle of letting go of a past love. The songwriter, ED MOK, uses vivid imagery to convey his emotions, such as the fear of being lonely and the memories of his past love being everywhere. The comparison of their love to a rose blooming in spring and then fading away adds a bittersweet tone to the song.
The chorus, “This time I can. Let you go,” shows the singer’s determination to move on and not hold onto the past. The line, “I don’t want to be the one to tell you where to go,” displays the respect and consideration he has for his former partner, even though he knows it’s time to move on.
The overall message of the song is that sometimes, letting go is the best thing for both parties. The pain of separation is inevitable, but it’s better to face it head-on and move forward. The melody, composed by Wang Jie and arranged by Ricky Ho, adds to the emotional impact of the lyrics, making “This Time I Can” a touching and relatable song for anyone who has struggled with letting go of a past love.
