[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
