Let Her Go

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 missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go
You let her go

Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
Dreams come slow, and you go so fast

You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day, you'll understand why
Everything you touch should surely die

But you only need the light when it's burnin' 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 missin' 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
Love comes slow and it goes so fast

You see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch, never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much
And you dived in too deep

But you only need the light when it's burnin' 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 missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go, oh

But you let her go
You let her go

'Cause you only need the light when it's burnin' low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

You only know you're high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
But you let her go
