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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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
