I know they say if you love somebody
You should set them free
But it sure is hard to do
Sure is hard to do
I know they say, if it don't come back again
Then it's meant to be
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 a 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?
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 gettin' anywhere
On a wing and prayer
This is a 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
Long, whoa
Long goodbye
