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 don't come back again Then it's meant to be (so they say) 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 Come 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) and I know without a doubt I turned it 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) 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 Come on, baby, it's over, Let's face it All that's happening here is the long goodbye The long goodbye The long goodbye This is the long goodbye Someone please tell me why Are you ever coming back again Are you ever coming back again Are you ever coming back again Guess I'm never coming back again
