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
Waiting for a miracle
But it's just you and me
Going through the mill
Climbing up a hill

[CHORUS]
This is the long goodbye
Somebody tell me why
Two lovers in love can't make it
Just what kind of love
Keeps breaking 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 happening 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 getting anywhere
On a wing and prayer

[repeat CHORUS]

Long goodbye

Long goodbye
