The long goodbye

I know they say if you love somebody<br>You should set them free (so they say)<br>But it sure is hard to do<br>Yeah, it sure is hard to do<br>And I know they say if they don`t come back again<br>Then it`s meant to be (so they say)<br>But those words ain`t pulling me through<br>Cos I`m still in love with you<br>I spend each day here waiting for a miracle<br>But it`s just you and me going through the mill<br>(climbin` up a hill) <br><br>This is the long goodbye<br>Somebody tell me why<br>Two lovers in love can`t make it<br>Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart?<br>No matter how hard I try<br>You`re gonna make me cry<br>Come on, baby, it`s over, let`s face it<br>All that`s happening here is a long goodbye<br><br>Sometimes I ask my heart did we really<br>Give our love a chance (just one more chance)<br>and I know without a doubt<br>I turned it inside out<br>And if we walked away<br>would make more sense (only self defense)<br>But it tears me up inside<br>Just to think we still could try<br>How long must we keep riding on a carousel<br>Going round and round and never getting anywhere?<br>(on a wing and prayer)<br><br>This is the long goodbye<br>Somebody tell me why<br>Two lovers in love can`t make it<br>Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart?<br>No matter how hard I try<br>You`re gonna make me cry<br>Come on, baby, it`s over, Let`s face it<br>All that`s happening here is the long goodbye<br><br>The long goodbye<br>The long goodbye<br>This is the long goodbye<br><br>Someone please tell me why<br><br>Are you ever coming back again<br>Are you ever coming back again<br>Are you ever coming back again<br>Guess I`m never coming back again
