(Let somebody, let somebody go)

We′ve had that kind of love
I thought that it would never end
Oh, my lover, oh, mother, oh, my friend
We talked around in circles
And we talked around and then
I loved you to the moon and back again

You gave everything this golden glow
Now turn off all the stars 'cause this I know
That it hurts like so
To let somebody go

All the storms we weathered
Everything that we went through
Now without you I don′t know what am I to do?
When they call the mathematicians
And they ask them to explain
They said love is only equal to the pain

And when everything was going wrong
You could turn my sorrow into song
Oh, it hurts like so
To let somebody go
To let somebody go

Oh-oh-ooh
Oh-oh-ooh
(To let somebody, to let somebody go) yeah, yeah

Oh, oh-oh, (oh) when you love somebody (oh)
When you love somebody (oh)
Got to let somebody know
Oh, oh-oh, (oh) when you love somebody (oh)
When you love somebody (oh)
Got to let somebody know
So, when you love somebody
When you love somebody
Then it hurts like so

To let somebody go
It hurts like so
To let somebody go

But you're still with me, now I know
(To let somebody, to let somebody go)
Oh-oh-ooh (to let somebody, to let somebody go)
But you're still with me, now I know
