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
And I know they say if they don't come back again
Then it's meant to be
Those words ain't pulling me through
Cos I'm still I 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
This is the long goodbye
Somebody tell me why
Two lovers in love can't make it
Just what kind of love keeps breaking our hearts
No matter how hard we try
You're 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 heart did we really
Give our love a chance
And I know without a doubt
That we turned it inside out
And if we walked away it would make more sense
But it tears me up inside
Just to think we still could try
How long must we keep running on this carousel
Going 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 kind of love keeps breaking our hearts
No matter how hard we try
You're gonna make me cry
Come on baby it's over let's face it
All that's happening here is a long goodbye
This is the long goodbye
Somebody tell me why
Two lovers in love can't make it
Just what kind of love keeps breaking our hearts
No matter how hard we try
You're gonna make me cry
Come on baby it's over let's face it
All that's happening here is a long goodbye
The long goodbye
The long goodbye
This is the long goodbye
