Lyrics
Well, you only need the light when it’s burning low
– Well, udinga ukukhanya kuphela uma evutha low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
– Kuphela miss ilanga lapho iqala iqhwa
Only know you love her when you let her go
– Ngiyazi ukuthi uyamthanda kuphela uma umvumela ukuba ahambe
Only know you’ve been high when you’re feeling low
– Yazi kuphela ukuthi ubulokhu uphakeme uma uzizwa uphansi
Only hate the road when you’re missing home
– Ngizonda umgwaqo kuphela uma ulahlekile ekhaya
Only know you love her when you let her go
– Ngiyazi ukuthi uyamthanda kuphela uma umvumela ukuba ahambe
And you let her go
– Futhi wamdedela
Staring at the bottom of your glass
– Ukugqolozela phansi kwengilazi yakho
Hoping one day you’ll make a dream last
– Ngithemba ukuthi ngelinye ilanga uzophupha okokugcina
But dreams come slow, and they go so fast
– Kodwa amaphupho ahamba kancane, futhi ahamba ngokushesha okukhulu
You see her when you close your eyes
– Uyambona lapho uvala amehlo akho
Maybe one day, you’ll understand why
– Mhlawumbe ngolunye usuku, uzoqonda ukuthi kungani
Everything you touch surely dies
– Konke okuthintayo ngokuqinisekile kuyafa
But you only need the light when it’s burning low
– Kodwa udinga ukukhanya kuphela uma kuvutha kancane
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
– Kuphela miss ilanga lapho iqala iqhwa
Only know you love her when you let her go
– Ngiyazi ukuthi uyamthanda kuphela uma umvumela ukuba ahambe
Only know you’ve been high when you’re feeling low
– Yazi kuphela ukuthi ubulokhu uphakeme uma uzizwa uphansi
Only hate the road when you’re missing home
– Ngizonda umgwaqo kuphela uma ulahlekile ekhaya
Only know you love her when you let her go
– Ngiyazi ukuthi uyamthanda kuphela uma umvumela ukuba ahambe
Staring at the ceiling in the dark
– Ukugqolozela ophahleni ebumnyameni
Same old empty feeling in your heart
– Umuzwa ofanayo omdala ongenalutho enhliziyweni yakho
‘Cause love comes slow, and it goes so fast
– Ngoba uthando luhamba kancane, futhi luhamba ngokushesha okukhulu
Well, you see her when you fall asleep
– Uyambona lapho ulala
But never to touch and never to keep
– Kodwa ungalokothi uthinte futhi ungalokothi ugcine
‘Cause you loved her too much, and you dived too deep
– Ngoba wawumthanda kakhulu, futhi wagxumela ekujuleni kakhulu
Well, you only need the light when it’s burning low
– Well, udinga ukukhanya kuphela uma evutha low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
– Kuphela miss ilanga lapho iqala iqhwa
Only know you love her when you let her go
– Ngiyazi ukuthi uyamthanda kuphela uma umvumela ukuba ahambe
Only know you’ve been high when you’re feeling low
– Yazi kuphela ukuthi ubulokhu uphakeme uma uzizwa uphansi
Only hate the road when you’re missing home
– Ngizonda umgwaqo kuphela uma ulahlekile ekhaya
Only know you love her when you let her go
– Ngiyazi ukuthi uyamthanda kuphela uma umvumela ukuba ahambe
And you let her go
– Futhi wamdedela
Oh, oh, mm, oh
– Oh, oh, mm, oh
And you let her go
– Futhi wamdedela
Oh, oh, uh, uh
– Oh, oh, uh, uh
Well, you let her go
– Yebo, uyamdedela ahambe
‘Cause you only need the light when it’s burning low
– Ngoba udinga ukukhanya kuphela uma kushisa kancane
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
– Kuphela miss ilanga lapho iqala iqhwa
Only know you love her when you let her go
– Ngiyazi ukuthi uyamthanda kuphela uma umvumela ukuba ahambe
Only know you’ve been high when you’re feeling low
– Yazi kuphela ukuthi ubulokhu uphakeme uma uzizwa uphansi
Only hate the road when you’re missing home
– Ngizonda umgwaqo kuphela uma ulahlekile ekhaya
Only know you love her when you let her go
– Ngiyazi ukuthi uyamthanda kuphela uma umvumela ukuba ahambe
‘Cause you only need the light when it’s burning low
– Ngoba udinga ukukhanya kuphela uma kushisa kancane
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
– Kuphela miss ilanga lapho iqala iqhwa
Only know you love her when you let her go
– Ngiyazi ukuthi uyamthanda kuphela uma umvumela ukuba ahambe
Only know you’ve been high when you’re feeling low
– Yazi kuphela ukuthi ubulokhu uphakeme uma uzizwa uphansi
Only hate the road when you’re missing home
– Ngizonda umgwaqo kuphela uma ulahlekile ekhaya
Only know you love her when you let her go
– Ngiyazi ukuthi uyamthanda kuphela uma umvumela ukuba ahambe
And you let her go
– Futhi wamdedela
