Let Her Go by Passenger

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

I never realized what I got before it's too late. I never realized that my life wasn't so bad, until I threw it all away and almost OD back in New York, before I met Yn. And now here I am realizing what I had with Yn, was better than anything I was ever going to get. I don't know why I I let this girl lead me up here, then kiss me, and then kiss back. I'd like to blame it on the booze, but I can't this is all on me. I let her walk out of my life. I didn't even try to stop her.
Now I'm sat here with an envelop, that I'm too scared to open, and a small velvet box I've been scared to open for a month. I was going to propose to her tonight but I had to go screw It all up. I finally got the balls to open the envelope. There was a folded paper in it. I took it out and a few pictures fell out on to my lap face down. I picked them and inhaled sharply. They were ultrasounds. Shit. I read the letter. It was the most heartfelt thing I've ever read. She went on about how she knew it was early but how we'd manage and how we'd be nothing like our parents. I really began to warm up to the idea before the reality of the events of tonight crept back into my thoughts. I 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

I went downstairs to get me drink. Everyone had left, except Buck and the ones passed out in different places. I walked over to the bar and poured a glass of whiskey. I sat on the bar stool and drank it. My mind kept wandering to the letter. She had a dream of what our little family could be but before I could even see this dream it was already gone. I downed the rest of my whiskey and went out to my truck. I couldn't sleep in that bed right now. I settled into the back seat of the truck and closed my eyes. I was quickly greeted with the sight of her crying as she packed her stuff. It repeated over and over. I decided sleep wasn't going to come anytime soon so I just lied there trying to figure out how I manage to screw up everything in my life.

'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

As I lied in bed, well Pony's bed technically, I began to realize how much I loved my relationship with Dallas before we moved to Tulsa. We were a crazy power couple back up there. We ruled the roost, and we did as we pleased. Once we got to Tulsa though, it all changed. Dallas ruled the roost and I sat quietly beside him. I tried to tell him but he wouldn't listen, he was usually too drunk to even understand. He let it all go.

Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
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

I lied there looking up at the dark ceiling feeling the same way I had long before I met Dallas. Me and Dally had worked on our friendship for a year and half then we were together for three years today, and all of that has gone down the drain in a matter of a few seconds. I tried to sleep but every time I closed my eyes I saw us the way we used to be. But that's all gone now. He let me go.

I know this one is was shorter and I didn't use the whole song, but the next one will be longer.
