Let Her Go (Commentary)

Well, 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 goOnly 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 goStaring at the bottom of your glass

Hoping one day you'll make a dream last

But dreams come slow, and they go so fastYou see her when you close your eyes

Maybe one day you'll understand why

Everything you touch surely diesBut 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 goStaring at the ceiling in the dark

Same old empty feeling in your heart

'Cause love comes slow, and it goes so fastWell, you see her when you fall asleep

But never to touch and never to keep

'Cause you loved her too much, and you dived too deepWell, 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 goOnly 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 goAnd you let her go

And you let her go

Well, you let her 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 her when you let her goOnly 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'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 goOnly 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
