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

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

Fade Away
