Keating, Ronan - The Long Goodbye Lyrics






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
We 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 a long goodbye

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 a long goodbye

The long goodbye
The long goodbye
This is the long goodbye

Someone please tell me why

Are you ever coming back again...

    I had to let her go recently but it was not easy for me at all. Felt like I was always the one making the effort and she simply didn't care....the most painful part is when I did leave I expected her to show some fight but she didn't even say a word. Live and learn I guess.

  16. T.... S....

    I prefer the duets version with Aussie 🇦🇺 Lee Kernaghan

    I know they say if you love somebody you should set them free
    But it sure is hard to do
    It sure is hard to do
    I know they say if they don't come back again then it's meant to be
    Those words ain't pulling me through
    'Cause I'm still I love with you
    I spend each day here waiting for a miracle
    But it's just you and me going through the mill climbing 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
    I know without a doubt
    That we turned it inside out
    And if we walked away it would make more sense
    But it tears me up inside
    Just to think we still could try
    How long must we keep running 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 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

    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

    The long goodbye
    The long goodbye
    This is the long goodbye
