Birdy - Let Her Go Lyrics






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

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

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

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

And you let him go
And you let him go
And you let him go
And you let him go

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

    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

    '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…

    H.... Z....

    Staring at the ceiling in the dark
    Same old empty feeling in your heart
    Love comes slow and it goes so fast

    '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

    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 dived 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
    Ohhh, oh no
    And you let her go
    Ohhh, oh no
    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 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

    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
    And you let her go
