Long Goodbye
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Empty cup, broken plate
All those things you never say
Don't you know by now i can take it like it is
The sky is dark
Full of rain, it ain't ever gonna change
The words are written on your face
Go on and say it
Go on and say it
Go on and say it
Don't you give me that long goodbye
Don't stick around and make it worse
Don't leave me hanging on all night
To every pretty little word yeah
Don't you drag me down that road
Of miles and miles and miles of hurt
Don't you give me that long goodbye
Make it fast, make it sweet
Pull the world out from under my feet
Don't you worry a thing about me, cause i'll make it
Give me the truth, i'll understand
Cause things don't work out like you planned
Well my heart is in your hands, go on and break it
Oh i can take it
I can take it
Don't you give me that long goodbye
Don't stick around and make it worse
Don't leave me hanging on all night
To every pretty little word yeah
Don't you drag me down that road
Of miles and miles and miles of hurt
Don't you give me that long goodbye
I promise i won't cry
You won't see one teardrop fall
I'm a big girl after all
I can take it
I can take it
I can take it
Don't you give me that long goodbye
Don't stick around and make it worse
Don't leave me hanging on all night
To every pretty little word yeah
Don't you give me that long goodbye
Don't stick around and make it worse
Don't leave me hanging on all night
To every pretty little word yeah
Don't you drag me down that road
Of miles and miles and miles of hurt
Don't you give me that long goodbye
Don't you give me that long goodbye
Long goodbye
Long goodbye
