Q&A
A Long Goodbye Lyrics
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 and style
Maybe we'll never say goodbye
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
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
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
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
I play the game of happiness and harmony
And honesty has no part in it
Funny how you don't seem to notice it
It's all confusion and lies
Why can't we make it short and sweet
It's all manners and style
Maybe we'll never say goodbye
