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

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

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

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

And you let him go

And you let him go

And you let him go

And you let him go

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
