Let Her Go

Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day, you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and they go so fast
You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day, you'll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies

But you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go, yeah-yeah
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go

Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast
You see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much and you dived too deep

Oh, well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go, yeah-yeah
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go

Oh, when you let her go
Oh, you let her go
Mmm, yeah-yeah

But you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go
Oh, yeah-yeah, yeah
And you let her go
