![]() ![]() 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 It's an anthem for anyone who misses their significant other when they are separated for any reason.Well you only need the light when it's burning low So while this song was inspired by a break up it's much larger than that. I played it and he wanted to hear it again and without him saying so, I could tell how much this song made him miss his own lovely lady. Once when was on a 2 week R&R I had put this song on my iPod and my middle son who is also on Bagram Airbase with me and I we were just hanging out one night and I was playing the new songs I had down loaded. I've had a lot of time away from my wife, and for me this song describes the loneliness I feel when I am away from my wife. A LOT ! And once I retired from the Army I went right back to the war working for a command in in the Department of the Army. In my case I have been married - happily married I add, to the same lady for over 30 years and I was career military with 3 combat tours of duty in the war against terrorism, but in the almost 25 years that I was in the Army I was gone a lot. But I think this song transcends a break-up it's larger than that. Mark Grant from Natchitoches, LaYeah, I read all the above comments about Mike Rosenberg writing Let Her Go after a break-up and that's great and all I mean it's sad, and the song is great and now they are sort of friends again - that's great.Making me see this song in another way round. Sandra from NigeriaWow, Mark, your comment is so beautiful.Olumide from NigeriaI've never seen a comment about a song this real.And this song ache my heart each time I listened to it,it has been on replay for weeks now the worlds and the lines are just too powerful Labet from NigeriaThis song vis really killing me inside,I have a girl here whom I loved so much we have been together for 4years now she has been misbehaving and becoming to difficult for me to handle,now I'm considering letting her go.And everytime I hear of it I think of my grandma. This song for me has a whole other meaning. And when she passed away in 2016 all we could play was this song and we played it for her before she passed. Jennifer Malinowski from Cohoes My grandmother really love this song and she shared it with us all.Kjsgad from NigeriaThis is indeed a very touching song I first heard this song from the movie entitled "The Blacklist" this song makes me sad whenever I play it. ![]()
