Long Goodbye

[Verse 1: Michelle Branch]

Empty cup, broken plate

All those things you never say

Don't you know by now I can take it like it is?

The sky is dark

Full of rain, it ain't ever gonna change

The words are are written on your face

Go on and say it

Go on and say it

Go on and say it

[Chorus: Dwight Yoakam & Michelle Branch]

Don't you give me that long goodbye

Don't stick around and make it worse

Don't leave me hanging on all night

To every pretty little word

Yeah, don't you drag me down that road

Of miles and miles and miles of hurt

Don't you give me that long goodbye

[Verse 2: Dwight Yoakam with Michelle Branch]

Make it fast, make it sweet

Pull the world out from under my feet

Don't you worry a thing about me, 'cause I'll make it

Give me the truth to understand

Since things don't work out like you planned

When my heart is in your hands, go on and break it

Oh, I can take it

Yeah, I can take it

[Chorus: Dwight Yoakam & Michelle Branch]

Don't you give me that long goodbye

Don't stick around and make it worse

Don't leave me hanging on all night

To every pretty little word

Don't you drag me down that road

Of miles and miles and miles of hurt

Don't you give me that long goodbye

[Bridge: Michelle Branch with Dwight Yoakam]

Yeah, I promise I won't cry

You won't see one teardrop fall

I'm a big girl after all

I can take it

I can take it

I can take it

[Chorus: Dwight Yoakam, Michelle Branch, Both]

Don't you give me that long goodbye

Don't stick around and make it worse

Don't leave me hanging on all night

To every pretty little word

Yeah, don't you give me that long goodbye

Don't stick around and make it worse

Don't leave me hanging on all night

To every pretty little word

Yeah, don't you drag me down that road

Of miles and miles and miles of hurt

Don't you give me that long goodbye

Don't you give me that long goodbye

Oh, oh

Long goodbye

Long goodbye

Long goodbye
