Let Me Go lyrics:
Say you wanna be just friends, just friends
But I plan to make it more
See you and I can't stop staring, I miss us
Say you wanna be just friends, but I can't, no, oh, oh
Either love me
Or I gotta leave
Slide, slide through
Decide if I am worth the time I caused you
Let me know or let me go
Try, try to
To find if I am worth the time I caused you
Let me know or let me go
Let me go
Back and forth, I'm exhausted
Girl, you know I got options
But I miss it too much to stop it
Too much to stop
'Causе when I see you
The memoriеs of
The time that we touched
So I gotta leave, unless you want me
Slide, slide through
Decide if I am worth the time I caused you
Let me know or let me go
Try, try to
To find if I am worth the time I caused you
Let me know or let me go
Written by Ronald "Cardo" LaTour Jr. / Laurène "Eye" Exposito

Giveon official bio:
Giveon has always used his raw, evocative songwriting to mine a confusing world for answers, and that approach has connected to the tune of over 2 billion global streams and nearly 1 billion TH-cam views thus far. But, lately, he's been fixed on a problem he can't solve. As he puts it, “Sometimes the truth is rewarded, and sometimes it’s frowned upon. Do we want truth, or a little deception to make us feel better?” This sort of tension is at the heart of Giveon's work. 2022’s “Lie Again” shows off the emotional curiosity and deep warmth of his songs over cinematic R&B arrangements. This sensitivity and love for storytelling traces back to his upbringing in Long Beach, CA, where his mother shielded him and his brothers from the area’s gang culture, and encouraged him to sing. After years of hustle, he bonded with producer Sevn Thomas (Drake, Rihanna) in 2019 and placed “Chicago Freestyle” on Drake’s 2020 mixtape Dark Lane Demo Tapes. Giveon's March 2020 debut EP Take Time held his first top 40 Hot 100 hit, “Heartbreak Anniversary,” and by March 2021, his When It’s All Said and Done… Take Time compilation debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200. (It’s since gone Platinum, and highlight “All to Me” went Gold-his 10th RIAA certification). The seven-time Grammy nominee has been hard at work on a follow-up, figuring out how to best share himself with all eyes on him.

I appreciate this comment--I always want to get the band members right in the video description--but I thought Dre Pinckney was on keyboards. 😕
