The Long Goodbye

I know they say if you love somebody
You should set them free (so they say)
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 (so they say)
Those words ain't going through,
Cos 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

This is the long goodbye
Somebody tell me why
Two lovers in love can make it
Just what kind of love keeps breaking our hearts
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
(just one more chance)
And I know without a doubt
That would turn it inside out
And if we walked away it would make more sense
(on a self defence)
But it tears me up inside,
Just to think we still could try
How long must we keep riding on this carousel
Going round and round and never getting anywhere
On a wing a prayer

This is the long goodbye
Somebody tell me why
Two lovers in love can make it
Just what kind of love keeps breaking our hearts
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 make it
Just what kind of love keeps breaking our hearts
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, the long goodbye
The long goodbye
(This is the long)
This is the long goodbye
Someone please tell me why?

Are you ever coming back again?
Are you ever coming back again?
Are you ever coming back again?
Guess I'm never coming back again!
