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 only 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 dive 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 And you let her go Well you let her go 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 And you let her go Well you let her go

The note was short, but Lord so strong It simply said, 'I can't go on And live a lie with someone I don't love' She couldn't tell me face to face Oh, but how my world was changed By the hand that held the pen That wrote the words that broke the heart Of the one, the only one that really loves her My tears fell down like fallin' rain But they can't wash away the pain How will I go to sleep without her in my arms She never meant to break my heart But how my world was torn apart By the, hand that held the pen That wrote the words that broke the heart Of the one the only one that really loves her With one stoke of the pen She wrote off all my dreams Erasing all those plans we made together There's no one that I can blame Oh, but how my world was changed By the hand that held the pen That wrote the words that broke the heart Of the one the only one that really loves her I am the one, the only one that really loves her
