Let Somebody Go Lyrics
[Intro: Chris Martin]
(Let somebody, let somebody go)
[Verse 1: Chris Martin]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Chris Martin]
You gave everything, this golden glow
Now, turn off all the stars 'cause this, I know
[Chorus: Chris Martin]
That it hurts like so
To let somebody go
[Verse 2: Selena Gomez]
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"
[Pre-Chorus: Chris Martin & Selena Gomez]
And when everything was going wrong
You could turn my sorrow into song
[Chorus: Chris Martin & Selena Gomez]
Oh, it hurts like so
To let somebody go
To let somebody go
[Post-Chorus: Chris Martin, Selena Gomez]
Oh-oh, oh (Oh)
Oh-oh, oh (Let somebody, let somebody go, yeah)
[Bridge: Chris Martin & Selena Gomez]
Oh, oh-oh, (Oh) when you love somebody (Oh)
When you love somebody (Oh)
Got to let somebody know (Oh)
Oh, oh-oh, (Oh) when you love somebody (Oh)
When you love somebody (Oh)
Got to let somebody know (Oh)
(Oh) when you love somebody (Oh)
When you love somebody (Oh)
[Chorus: Chris Martin, Christ Martin & Selena Gomez]
Then it hurts like so
To let somebody go
It hurts like so
To let somebody go
[Outro: Chris Martin]
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

What did Coldplay & Selena Gomez say about "Let Somebody Go"?
It’s just a really lovely ballad. And quite early on we realised it needed a female counterpart to the vocal. And we were very grateful that when we asked Selena to sing on it, she loved the song and was happy to do so. Collaborations in general are something that we’ve done more of recently. We nev...
What have the artists said about each other?
