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 they don't come back again then it's meant to be Those words ain't pulling me through 'Cause 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 Chorus This is the 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 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 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 a heart No matter how hard I 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 a heart No matter how hard I 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
