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   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      This is the long goodbye, somebody tell me why   Two lovers in love can't make it   Just what kind of love keeps breakin' 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 happenin' 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   Goin' round and round and never gettin' 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 breakin' 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 happenin' here is a long goodbye, long goodbye      Long goodbye   Long goodbye   This is a long goodbye   This is a long goodbye   [Incomprehensible] goodbye   Long goodbye
