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,
 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 chorus
 oh, long goodbye
