I know they say if you love somebody
|
You should set them free
|
But it sure is hard to do
|
It sure is hard to do
|
I know they say if it don't come back again
|
Then it's meant to be (so they say)
|
Those words don't pull me through
|
Cause I'm still in love with you
|
I spend each day here waiting for a miracle
|
But it's just you and me goin' through the mill
|
climbin' up a hill
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
This is the long goodbye
|
Somebody tell me why
|
Two lovers in love can't make it
|
Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart
|
No matter how hard I try
|
I always make you cry
|
Come on, baby, it's over¡¦let's face it
|
All that's happening here is a long goodbye
|
|
Sometimes I ask my heart did we really
|
Give our love a chance (just one more chance)
|
But I know without a doubt
|
We turned it inside out
|
And if we walked away
|
Would It make more sense
|
But it tears me up inside
|
Just to think we still could try
|
How long must we keep running on a carousel
|
Goin' round and round and never gettin anywhere
|
On a wing and prayer
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
Long goodbye
|
Long goodbye
|
