Only need the light when it's burning low

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

You only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go.

And now you staring at the bottom of your glass

Hoping one day you'll make a dream last

The dreams come slow and they go so fast.

And you see you 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

You 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

'cause love comes slow and it goes so fast.

Well you see you when you fall asleep

But never to touch no never to keep

'cause you loved her too much

And you dived too deep.

But you only need the light when it's burning low

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

You 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 ohhh...

You let her go ohhh...

You only need the light when it's burning low

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

You 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.

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.
