It is not untill he does not have her anymore he realises he really love her "Only know you love her, when you let her go"īut after I listned to the song for about a million times, I got a new interpretation. He does not appreciate what he has untill she one day cannot stand it anymore and she leaves him alone with nothing. My first interpretation of this song, was about a couple, where one takes the other for granted. People have a tendency to idealize the past. It's fresh because he has an attitude that paints the relationship as better than perhaps it really was. The song alludes to the fact the protagonist is still reeling from the breakup. Sometimes it's even more telling than the relationship itself. It seems you learn a lot about someone during the breakup period too. I thought he was singing "You only know your lover when you let her go" which also makes some sense. You don't truly know happiness until you've seen the pits of despair. He is taking responsibility for the relationship ending with lines like: Sometimes in relationships, people take significant things for granted until it's too late to go back. There is a lot of truth to this song, since a lot of people don't realize they were really in love until after it is over. He realizes he loved her, while he was maybe unsure or didn't realize it while they were still a couple. He is remembering her now that they are no longer together. And of course, by the time he realises this, it will have been too late to get her back - she will have moved on to someone who can reciprocate her love. But ultimately, this song is about the regret of only realising after breaking things off that he truly loved her. It may be that his ideals of love are actually unrealistic ("Hoping one day you'll make a dream last"), and he keeps choosing to let love go because he doesn't understand that love can be a messy and difficult thing worth fighting for. The line, "Maybe one day you'll understand why everything you touch, surely dies" speaks to this guy's chronic inability to return love and form a deep bond with someone else. So he lets her go, because he feels incapable of giving himself over to what has actually become real love. I like to think of the backstory like this - it's about a guy who breaks up with his lover because he doesn't have the ability to recognize that he has something special with her, and he doesn't have the courage to stay in the relationship when she starts asking for a commitment from him. I heard this song on the radio for the first time today. 'Cause you loved her too much and dive too deep 'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast Only hate the road when you're missing homeīut you only need the light when it's burning low Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only know you love her when you let her go Well you only need the light when it's burning low
