The Long Goodbye

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

I spend each day here waitin' for a miracle

But it's just you and me goin' through the mill, climbin' up a hill

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

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

How long must we keep runnin' on a carousel?

Goin' 'round and 'round and never gettin' anywhere, on a wing and prayer

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

Long goodbye

Oh-oh, oh

Long goodbye

Oh, it's a long goodbye, it's a long goodbye
