LYRICS:
Verse
I'm watching myself
Drifting away
A vision so darkened
I cannot stay
I'm reaching out wide
Trying to catch myself before I fall
Too little too late
Can you save me
Pre Chorus
Where do we go when we walk on light
Who do we call at the edge of night
Carry me close like the tear drops in your eyes
All I can give you is memories
Carry them with you and I'll never leave
I'll lay my head down
But when I lay my head down
Chorus
Don't let me go
Hold me in your beating heart
I won't let go
Forever is not enough
Let me lay my head down on the shadow by your side
Don't let me go
Hold me in your beating heart
Verse 2
So let me freeze time
Before it turns cold
The moments go by
And life goes on
The torturous stars
Are taking every breath I wish I held
The love in my heart
Is never ending
Pre
Chorus
Bridge
You can't see me
But you still feel me
I only live in your memories
I mean something
Your everything
You lay me down
Take me there
Chorus
Song by RAIGN and Mysto and Pizzi

Saw her audition for Xfactor and she’s grown into herself artistically and it’s nice to see her become this

[@katrielanderson3808]

It inspires me

[@KattVaughan98]

They were so mean to her on X Factor. They only seemed to care about looks back then! She's come so far!

[@timthompson5821]

@@KattVaughan98 they was so narrow minded and she didn't fit there pop singers they wanted

[@dj198228]

I only discovered Raign through watching videos of the worst x factor auditions. I think she has an amazing voice and IMO Cheryl was a real a-hole to her for no good reason. Glad shes done well for herself

[@kieron20069]

*Cheryl cole does not like this*

[@luciep09]

The Vampire Diaries always chooses awesome songs!!! I totally love this song and Raign's totally unique voice. The drums she uses give her music real emotive depth. Cheryl was just jealous. Whenever she feels threatened, she instantly takes a dislike to someone for no reason. Don't Let Me Go is one of the most moving songs (melodically and vocally) I've heard for ages.

[@tripsix263]

not that unique go listen to florence and the machine very similar voices

[@delena-nl4zg]

yesss the zcene when stephan died

[@lioness5813]

That is fate. Stefan from TVD died twice on two of her songs (another song is 'When It's All Over')

[@ml8184]

After so many years, I am back to listening to this and it hits so so differently. Many has passed away in my life due to Covid, and this brought me to tears. This song is a masterpiece on it's own and Raign's voice brought out the feelings no one else can in this.

[@FrancescoPerrone207]

And Stefan dies. This makes me cry.

[@jouyb6216]

yes😢

[@MikitkaN]

+Francesco Perrone Funny...I was about to comment that when Stefan was dying there was Raign's "When it's all over" playing and not "Don't let me go".... But then I found out that this song was playing in season 5 episode 21 when Stefan was killed by Jullian (in Tylers body)... And now in s07e16 Stefan dies again while Raign's "When its all over" is playing.... I guess when Stefan dies he dies with style and great music playing along :D.. They will find a way to bring him back for sure and then (I hate to say it but.) hopefully Stefan will die a few more times on TVD so we could hear more amazing Raign's songs on TV :D

[@alexs2415]

Like if you've come here after X Factor

[@EmmaLightwing]

Yes I had heard it on the vampire diaries but just seen her on the x factor too. I didn't think she had actually written the song and was the original singer. Not sure why she needed to audition seems she's already doing very well.But love this song yes.

[@hazeldavenhall2267]

I didn't think she'd actually written this song as she'd claimed on X Factor, but it seems I was proved wrong! Many artists if they haven't hit the big time by a certain age, go on X Factor to get the exposure they need, if it's not happened for them so far for whatever reason... I absolutely love the song though!!

[@kierenwoodvevo.9221]

yes is did and I actually liked her x factor audition

[@Kronikwookie]

Emma Lightwing So that's where I heard this song before! It was eating at my brain cause I knew I heard it somewhere. As for why she is auditioning despite already having some success in the industry, it was probably not enough. Kitty and the Hip had a full on record deal and made a few music videos but they just couldn't break out into the big lights.

[@faithoffaith]

Hazel Davenhall believe me she did

[@humphreysrevenge7096]

Raign blows me away! Her voice and music touches the soul!

[@belenvallejos7720]

this song gives me strong vibes of TVD, and it was used for such a sad scene. It's so nice to see this song got so far. 💓

I came across this artist recently on you tube and I'm amazed I love this song so much she is so talented! I am disgusted at Cheryl, she was victimizing Reign. Who the hell is Cheryl anyway i never heard of her in my life. Please Reign keep producing more great music like this I am now a big fan of yours much love all the way from Trinidad and Tobago.

ANYONE HERE BECAUSE OF THE VAMPIRE DIARIES?!? I MISS STEFAN SMMM 😭😭😭 I can like hear Caroline’s screams/ cries when I’m listening to this song

[@elvisfarias685]

That actually is a really good song. She's got the image, the style, the voice. She lacks charisma though. I'm sad she acts like that.

[@ItsJustJakieG]

You are really basing 5 mins from the X factor like 2 years ago on her real life?

[@elvisfarias685]

Jacob Gonzalez Nah... I guess you should see her nowadays too.

[@kayasawyer8765]

I don't think her attitude should have anything to do with her as an artist. She's an amazing artist. If we judged everyone by who they are as a person then we wouldn't have any movies to watch, tv shows, or music to listen to.

[@kimcapri9178]

unfortunately the money machine doesn't care about originality as the unique expression, b/c it's the "total package" contingent on if the person is marketable, manageable, and memorable. She drew the exposure of x factor as a boost and judging by the hits of this video alone, she could grow her music by word of mouth, and be an indie artist

[@ShayaraMusic]

I think this was meant to be! Hahaha. Well, I uploaded a cover of this song too! Would love for you to check it out!

Fantastic song, love it. Play over and over. The lyrics are as strong as her personality.

[@LiftLikeATigress]

Most self made/natural/unique born artists out there was/are controversial (Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, Marilyn Manson ecs) they have more to say and want to be heard... unlike some artists like Cheryl Cole who just follows their managers orders hard on a leash, Raign was controversial, her own brand and wrote her own songs and certainly was unique.

[@campoulton7843]

Yea raign please go back on x factor too prove them all wrong and u can win this thing

[@albertclark1407]

Top 10 covers Best That would be great if she did maybe next year

[@jyunus07]

totally agree i was just like cheryl dont be a hypocrite just because you didnt like her as a person you shouldnt use that to judge their singing this is why the voice is way better as they dont judge people they just hear their voice

[@Sunnybias]

Cheryl is such an attitude bitch!!! "Anything else? Vodka, Jin and tonic?". That wasn't professional at all!!! Even if you don't like her personality or look, there's no need to act that immature. The song is so popular and amazing - her voice is ON POINT when she hits those low powerful tones. Never heard a voice like hers. And she just needs training, then her voice is unstoppable!!!

[@velvetluna5503]

Raign was so rude and immature to her though. She's really unlikeable.

[@Sage.....]

That's such a deep and powerful song, anyone that's ever lost someone close to them can relate.

Amazing. I don't care what kind of attitude she has, all I care about is that she carry on writing songs and sing them because she has a beautiful talent. Sadly people these days look past the voice and concentrate on appearances and personalities. Does it matter? Is it more important than the song? Is that what music is about? I hope she gets far on Xfactor, song choice is key for her brilliant voice.
