Staring at the bottom of your glass

Hoping one day you'll make a dream last

Dreams come slow and they go so fast

And you see her when you close your eyes

Maybe one day you will understand why

Everything you touch surely dies

You only need the light when it's burning low

You only miss the sun when it starts to snow

You 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 her when you fall asleep

Never to touch, never to keep

Cause you loved her to much

And you dive too deep

And you only need the light when it's burning low

You 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

You only hate the road when you're missin' home

You only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go

Oo oo oo

And you only need the light when it's burning low

You 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

You only hate the road when you're missin' home

You only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go
