The Long Goodbye

[Verse 1] 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 you 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 [Pre-Chorus] I spend each day here waitin' 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 breakin' 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 happenin' here is a long goodbye [Verse 2] 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 could still try [Pre-Chorus] How long must we keep runnin' on a carousel? Goin' 'round and 'round and never gettin' anywhere, on a wing and prayer [Chorus] This is the long goodbye Somebody tell me why Two lovers in love can't make it Just what kind of love keeps breakin' 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 happenin' here is a long goodbye [Outro] Long goodbye Oh-oh, oh Long goodbye Oh, it's a long goodbye, it's a long goodbye
