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 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

You only need the sun when it starts to snow

You only know you love him when 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

And you see him when you fall asleep

But never to touch and never to keep

'Cause you loved him too much

And you dived too deep

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 missing home

You only know you love him when you let him go

And you let him go (oh, oh, ooh, oh oh)

And you let him go (oh, oh, ooh, oh oh)

And you let him go (oh, oh, ooh, oh oh)

And you let him go (oh, oh, ooh, oh oh)

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 missing home

You only know you love him when you let him go

And you let him go..
