Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
[Verse 3]
And you let her go
You let her go
[Verse 4]
Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping that one day, you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and you go so fast
[Verse 5]
You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day, you'll understand why
Everything you touch, it surely dies
[Verse 6]
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 let her go
[Verse 7]
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
[Verse 8]
Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
Love comes slow and it goes so fast
[Verse 9]
You see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much and you dived in too deep
[Verse 10]
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 let her go
[Verse 11]
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go, oh
[Verse 12]
But you let her go
You let her go
[Verse 13]
'Cause 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
[Verse 14]
Mmm, you only know you're high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
[Verse 15]
But you let her
Go
