Passenger - let her go

Well, you only need the light when it’s burning low

Only miss the sun when it’s 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’ve let her go

And you let her go

Staring at the bottom of your glass

Hoping one day you'll make a dream last

'Cuz 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, it dies

But you only need the light when it’s burning low

Only miss the sun, when it’s starts to snow

Only know you love her when you’ve 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’ve let her go

Staring at the ceiling in the dark

Same ol’ empty feeling in your heart

'Cuz love comes slow and it goes so fast

Well you see her when you fall asleep

But to never to touch and never to keep

'Cuz you loved her to much

And you dive too deep

Well, you only need the light when it’s burning low

Only miss the sun, when it’s starts to snow

Only know you love her when you’ve 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’ve let her go

And you let her go

Ooooo ooooo oooooo

And you let her go

Ooooooo ooooo ooooo

Well you let her go

'Cuz you only need the light when it’s burning low

Only miss the sun, when it’s starts to snow

Only know you love her when you’ve 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've let her go

'Cuz you only need the light when it’s burning low

Only miss the sun, when it’s starts to snow

Only know you love her when you’ve 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’ve let her go

And you let her go

Wow. This song. It's amazing. I get chills every time I hear this song. I can relate to this song in a few different ways, and I just love it how it speaks to me. First off, when I first came to the US, I really didn't care of what I was "letting go of" in Brazil, which were my parents, my home, my family, my comfort zone. I just simply let go of everything very easily. But then, it only took my first tribulation for me to miss my family, to understand the actual value that they had in my heart. I am not saying I didn't love my parents, but I surely didn't appreciate them the way I should have. This is truly something I regret, but I am glad I have realized how much they mean to me before it was too late. 

Secondly, when it says "everything you touch, it surely dies"... I feel that this has been the truth for my life. I will always have this thought in the back of my head... that I can't keep my dreams alive, I can't keep love alive, I can't keep people around for long. Well, I mean, besides a few long term friendships here and there, my life has proven me that this is true. I don't know if it's me or something I do, or that I have high expectations, but I feel like people eventually get bored of the same old, and when I can't give anything new, they leave. Work, friendships, relationships. I don't like having this mindset, but it always creeps up in the back of my head every now and then. And this sentiment kind of ties with my last post, that I give too much. "I love too much and I dive too deep" ... Maybe the reason that I feel this way is because I don't feel needed at times, and I feel replacable. I know I shouldn't need that feeling from people, but I do. I pray that I can become less dependent on people and more dependent on God, because He is the one who loves me the most.
