Within Temptation — Let Her Go

Let Her Go

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 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 missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And 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
 
´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 missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
 
And you let her go, no
And you let her go, no
Well you let her go, no
Oh, you let her go, no
 
That 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 missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
 
And you let her go, no
And you let her go, no
When you let her go
