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
Now, you're staring at the bottom of your glass
Hopin' one day you'll make a dream last
The dreams come slow and they go so fast
And 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
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 her 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
Ooh
You let her go, ooh
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
And you let her go
