"Let Her Go" lyrics

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 missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
You let her go

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 oh
You let her go oh

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
