This is the long goodbye Somebody tell me why Two lovers in love can't make it Just what kinda love keeps breaking a heart No matter how hard I try I always make you cry Come on, baby, it's over let's face it All that's happening here is a long goodbye

Why don't you let her see The feelings that you hide 'Cause she'll never know If you never show The way wayyou feel inside Why don't you kiss her Why don't you tell her We're the best of friends And we share our secrets

Low down leaving sun, I've done Did everything that needs done Woe is me, why can't I see I'D best be leaving well enough alone Them neon light nights, couldn't stay out of fights Them keep a-haunting me in memories There's one in every crowd, for crying

Miss independent That's why I love her She got her own thing Yeah, yeah yeah Won't you come and spend a little time Oh, the way wayshe shine Yeah, yeah yeah yeah Is something about her Oh is something about

Well, you wonder why I always dress in black, Why you never see bright colors on my back, And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone. Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on. I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down,

You are the apple of my eye, Forever you'll stay in my heart You are the sunshine of my life That's why I'll always be around, I feel like this is the beginning, Though I've loved you for a million years, And if I thought our love was ending, I'd find

It wasn't that hard Just to figure you out Now I did, you wonder why I like your pants around your feet And I like the dirt that's on your knees And I like the way wayyou still say please, while you're looking up at me You're like my favorite damn disease

But it's real Those of us who are lost and low We know how you feel We know it's not right but it's real I choose to stay far away from the ones that think Money is money to share Don't ask me why and I'll tell you no lies. Sonny don't come here no more

I don't know what it is She's got a way wayabout her But I know that I can't live without her She's got a smile that heals me I don't know why it is But I have to laugh when she reveals me She comes to me when I'm feelin' down Inspires me without a sound

Now it's a long way waydown Now we're heading up high Where no harm will get in our way wayWill we ever touch ground again? We won't go in, we won't go Why end it? Why end it? See, when you're holding on to all that you can't Be, know that all there is to gain
