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
But 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 kinda 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
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
Runnin' on a carousel
Goin' 'round and 'round
And never getting 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 kinda 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 oh oh oh
Oh long goodbye
