Somebody gave you a gun
Looked just like the sun
Shot so bright with its blinding light
And you never saw it coming

Now you're just like a fallen angel, crying in the rain
Trying to hold the tears back, oh, but you can't stop the pain

Oh, c'est la vie, sometimes you gotta let things be
You can fight it if you want to
There's nothing you can do
Let it go, and love will set you free
Oh, let it go, and love will set you free
Oh, let it go, and love will set you free

Somebody gave you a gun
You're not the only one
Love can lift you up, and bring you down, down, down

Now you're wondering why it hurts

Oh, c'est la vie, sometimes you gotta let things be
You can fight it if you want to
There's nothing you can do
Let it go, and love will set you free
Oh, let it go, and love will set you free
Oh, let go, and love will set you free

I'm not the best to give advice
'Cause I've been hurting, hurt, yeah
I know what it's like
I know, whoa

Oh, c'est la vie, sometimes you gotta let things be
You can fight it if you want to
There's nothing you can do
Let it go, and love will set you free
Yeah, let it go, and love will set you free
Oh, let it go, and love will set you free
Yeah, let it go, and love will set you free
Let it go, and love will set you free
