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 dont come back again

Then its meant to be

Those words dont pull me through

Cause im still in love with you



I spend each day here waiting for a miracle

Its 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 cant 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 its over

Lets face it

All thats 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 cant 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 its over

Lets face it

All thats happening here is a long goodbye



A long goodbye

Whoa
