A Long Goodbye

It's hard to be cruel to someone kind And I still haven't made up my mind about you It's just that I have no more to say Keep lining up empty phrases As an excuse for breathing

A long goodbye It's all confusion and lies Why can't we make it short A long goodbye It's all manners and style Maybe we'll never say goodbye

Communication's breaking down You turn away so I can't hear you Memories melting to a stain Who's gonna tell our story? Gone in the flashback ashes

A long goodbye It's all confusion and lies Why can't we make it short A long goodbye It's all manners and style Maybe we'll always stay

We plan our anniversary I play the game of happiness and harmony And honesty has no part in it Funny how you don't seem to notice it

A long goodbye It's all confusion and lies Why can't we make it short and sweet It's all manners & style Maybe we'll never say goodbye
