Let Her Go Lyrics by Birdy

BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge 2013

2013

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[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
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
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
And you let him go
And you let him go
And you let him go
And you let him go
[Chorus]
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
