I know we've been together
long long time
I know I said it was forever
That you'd be mine

We knew there always was a danger
Our love would die
So now we're living here like strangers
In endless night

Heaven and [bad word] were moved
Trying to make it happen
Hoping that things would be improved
Heaven and [bad word] 
No one can ask the reason why
The long goodbye
And no one can say we didn't try
So here's the long goodbye

Let's try and stay together
At least as friends
You know that in the end forever
Like all things end

Heaven and [bad word] were moved
Trying to make it happen
Hoping that things would be improved
Heaven and [bad word] 
No one can ask the reason why
The long goodbye
And no one can say we didn't try
So here's the long goodbye

Please don't ask the reason why 
The long goodbye
'Cos no one can say we didn't try
So here's the long goodbye
