Let Her Go

[Verse 1] Staring at the bottom of your glass Hoping one day you'll make a dream last But dreams come slow and they go so fast You see him as you close your eyes Maybe one day you'll understand why Everything you touch oh it dies [Chorus] You only need the light when it's burning low You only need the sun when it starts to snow Only know you love him when you let him go [Verse 2] Staring at the ceiling in the dark Same old empty feeling in your heart 'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast And you see him as you fall asleep Never to touch, never to keep 'Cause you loved him too much But you dived too deep [Chorus] And you only need the light when it's burning low You only need the sun when it starts to snow You only know you love him when you let him go Only know you've been high when you're feeling low You only hate the road when you're missin' home You only know you love him when you let him go [Post-Chorus] And you let him go And you let him go And you let him go And you let him go [Chorus] You only need the light when it's burning low You only need the sun when it starts to snow You only know you love him when you let him go Only know you've been high when you're feeling low You only hate the road when you're missin' home You only know you love him when you let him go And you let him go
