This is Chris Martin being paranioid and it has a double meaning. I think its written to fans and Gwyneth Paltrow worrying about the fans not wanting Chris in their life and Gwyneth not wanting Chris by her side. If you listen to all of the lyrics, suddenly they all fit in to this idea.
"What if I got it wrong
And no poem or song
Could put right what I got wrong"
What if Chris made a mistake with Gwyneth and no poem of song could make it right again...
What if Chris made a mistake with the fans and again, no other song or poem could put it back to how it was....
I might be wrong but it seems to make sense to me.
Also, the chorus is:
oooo, thats right
lets take a breath, try and pull it aside
oooo, thats right
how can you know it if you dont even try?
