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
Those words don’t pull me through
Cause I’m still in love with you
I spend each day here waiting for a miracle
It’s just you and me going through the mill
Climbing up a hill
Refrain:
This is a 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?
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
Refrain:
This is a 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
