I know they say if you love somebody
You should set them free 
But it sure is hard to do
But sure is hard to do
I know they say if they [bad word] back again
It's meant to be
But those words ain't pulling me through
Cos I'm still in love with you

I spend each day here waiting for a miracle
But it's just you and me going 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 breaking a heart?
No matter how hard I try
You're gonna make me cry [bad word] on, baby, it's over, let's face it
All that's happening 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
That we turned it inside out
If we walked away
Would it make more sense (it's only self defense)
But it tears me up inside
Just to think we still could try

How long must we keep riding on this carousel
Going round and round and never getting 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 breaking a heart?
No matter how hard we try
You're gonna make me cry [bad word] on, baby, it's over, Let's face it
All that's happening here is the long goodbye

How long must we keep riding on this carousel
Going round and round and never getting 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 breaking a heart?
No matter how hard we try
You're gonna make me cry [bad word] on, baby, it's over, let's face it
All that's happening here is a long goodbye

Too long goodbye, oh
So long goodbye

Someone please tell me why
Are you [bad word] back again
