I know they say if you love somebody You should set them free (so they say) But it is hard to do Yeah, it sure is hard to do And I know they say if they don't come back again it's meant to be (so they say) But those words ain't pulling me through Cos I'm still in love with you I spend day here waiting for a miracle But it's just you and me going through the mill (climbin' up a hill)
[Chorus] This is the long goodbye Somebody tell me why Two in love can't make it Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart? No matter how hard I try gonna make me cry Come on, baby, it's over, let's face it All that's happening here is a long goodbye
Sometimes I ask my did we really Give our love a chance (just one more chance) and I know without a doubt I turned it inside out And if we walked away make more sense (only self defense) But it tears me up inside Just to think we still could try How long must keep riding on a carousel Going round and and never getting anywhere? (on a wing and prayer)
[Chorus]x2
The long goodbye The long goodbye This is the long goodbye Someone please tell me why Are you ever coming back again Are you ever coming back again Are ever coming back again Guess I'm never coming back again
