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 (so they say) Those words don't pull me through So I'm still in love with you I spend each day here waiting 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 still could try How long must we keep running on a carousel Going '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 (Goodbye) Oh, oh, oh-oh Long goodbye (Goodbye) (Goodbye) Oh, it's a long goodbye, it's a long goodbye
