[Verse 1]
Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
Dreams come slow, and they go so fast
You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch, all it dies

[Chorus]
But you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her 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
Well, you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much and you dive too deep

[Chorus]
'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go

[Bridge]
And you let her go, oh no
And you let her go, oh no
Well, you let her go, oh no
Well, you let her go, oh no

[Chorus]
But you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go

[Outro]
And you let her go, oh no
And you let her go, oh no
When you let her go
