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 dont come back again
Then its meant to be
Those words dont pull me through
Cause im still in love with you

I spend each day here waiting for a miracle
Its just you and me going through the mill
Climbing up a hill

Refrain:
This is a long goodbye
Somebody tell me why
Two lovers in love cant 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 its over
Lets face it
All thats happening 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?
Going round and round and never getting anywhere
On a wing and prayer

Refrain:
This is a long goodbye
Somebody tell me why
Two lovers in love cant 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 its over
Lets face it
All thats happening here is a long goodbye

A long goodbye
Whoa
