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.

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've let her go

And you let her go.

Staring at the bottom of your glass

Hoping one day you will make a dream last

The dreams come slow and goes so fast.

You see her when you close your eyes

Maybe one day you will understand why

Everything you touch all it 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've 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've let her go.

Staring at the ceiling in the dark

Same ol' empty feeling in your heart

Love comes slow and it goes so fast.

Well you see her when you fall asleep

But never to touch and never to keep

Because you loved her to much

And you dive too deep.

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've 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've let her go.

And you let her go

Ooooo ooooo oooooo...

And you let her go

Ooooooo ooooo ooooo...

And will you let her go.

Because 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've 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've let her go.

And you let her go...
