I know they say if you love somebody You should set them free (so they say) But it sure is hard to do, But 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 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, Your gonna make me cry Come on baby, it's over... let's face it All that's happenin' here is a long goodbye Sometimes I ask my heart did we really ... ...give our love a chance (Just the one more chance) But I know without a doubt, that we turned it inside out And if we walked away would it make more sense (only self defense) 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 Repeat oh, long goodbye
