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 (so they say)

Those words don't pull me through

Cause i'm still in love with you

I spend each day here waiting for a miracle

But it's just you and me goin' through the mill

Climbin' 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

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 (just one more 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 still could try

How long must we keep running on a carousel

Goin' round and round and never getting anywhere

On a wing and prayer



Chorus



Long goodbye

Long goodbye
