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 the long goodbye
somebody tell me why,
two lovers in love can't make it,
just what kinda love keeps breakin' a heart
no matter how hard I try, I'll always make you cry
come on baby, it's over...let's face it
all that's happenin' here is the 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
