08. The Long Goodbye Lyrics

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
Yeah, it sure is hard to do
And I know they say if they dont come back again
Then its meant to be ( so they say)
But those words dont pull me through
Cos Im still in love with you
I spend each day here waiting for a miracle
But its 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 cant make it
Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart?
No matter how hard we try
Youre gonna make me cry
Come on, baby, its over.. lets face it
All thats happening here is a long goodbye

Sometimes I ask my heart did we really
Give our love a chance ( just one more chance)
And I know without a doubt
Its turning me inside out
And if we walked away
Would make more sense ( only self defense)
But it tears me up inside
Just to think we still could try
How long must we keep riding on a carousel
Going round and round and never getting anywhere?
(on a wing and prayer)

Are you ever coming back again (x3)
I guess Im coming back again
