The Long Goodbye

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
 So 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 (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 we still could try
 How long must we keep running on a carousel
 Going '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
 (Goodbye)
 Oh, oh, oh-oh
 Long goodbye
 (Goodbye)
 (Goodbye)
 Oh, it's a long goodbye, it's a long goodbye
