We had a kind of love, I thought that it would never end

Oh my lover, oh my other, 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, what on earth am I to do?

When I called the mathematicians and I asked 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-oh (oh-oh)

 

Oh-oh-oh

(Let somebody, let somebody go) yeah

 

Oh, oh-oh, when you love somebody

When you love somebody

Got to let somebody know

Oh, oh-oh, when you love somebody

When you love somebody

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

(Let somebody, let somebody go)

Oh-oh-oh

(Let somebody, let somebody go)

But you're still with me now, I know
