Christopher Martin - Let Her Go

[Intro]
Some point in time a man just have to be a man, you nah mean?
Face up to your emotions
And really check fi a woman, mek she know you check fi her
Nuh matter if your friend dem a go laugh
Or dem a go say you're whipped or whatever
At the end of the day
You're the only one who's gonna be lonely, yah understand?
Cha...

[Chorus]
'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
Wo-oh-oh-oh-ooh
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
Wo-oh-oh-oh-ooh
And you let her go
How could you, how could you let her go...
Why did you let her go?
How could you, how could you let her go...

[Verse 1]
Staring at an empty 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
Oh, oh

[Chorus]
But you only need the light when it's burning low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go-oh-oh-ooh
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go-oh-oh-ooh

[Verse 2]
Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
Love comes slow and it goes so fast, oh baby
Yeah, you see her when you go to sleep
Never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you miss her so much
And you dived too deep
Oh yes

[Chorus]
'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
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
You let her go

And you let her go, oh, oh, ooh, oh oh
How could you, how could you let her go...
And you let her go, oh, oh, ooh, oh oh
How could you, how could you let her go...
And you let her go...
How could you, how could you let her go...
Why did you
How could you, how could you let her go...
You let her go, you let her go, you let her go...

[Chorus]
Oh, 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, oh yeah

Oh, you only need the light when it's burning low
You only miss the sun when it starts to snow
You 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, you love her, you love her
When you let her go

[Outro]
Only know you've been high when you're feeling 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
Oh, yeah
And you let her go...
