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
