After she goes,

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 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 

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 her when you close your eyes 

Maybe one day you'll understand why 

Everything you touch surely dies 

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 

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 

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 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
