Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love him when you let him 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 him when you let him go
And you let him go
Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
Dreams come slow and they go so fast
You see him when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies
Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love him when you let him 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 him when you let him go
And you let him 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 him when you fall asleep
Never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved him too much
And you dived 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 him when you let him 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 him when you let him go
And you let him go (oh)
And you let him go (oh)
And you let him go (oh)
And you let him go (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 him when you let him 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 him when you let him go
'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love him when you let him go
And you let her go
