[Verse 1]
I know we've been together a long, long time
I know I said it was forever that you'd be mine
We knew there always was a danger
Our love would die
So now we're living here like strangers
An end that's nice

[Pre-Chorus]
Heaven and hell were mood
Trying to make it happen
Hoping that things were being true
Heaven and hell

[Chorus]
No one can ask the reason why
The long goodbye, and
No one can say we didn't try
So here's a long goodbye

[Pre-Chorus]
Let's try and stay together and be as friends
You know that in the end forever
Like all things, end

[Pre-Chorus]
Heaven and hell were mood
Trying to make it happen
Hoping that things were being true
Heaven and hell

[Chorus]
No one can ask the reason why
The long goodbye, and
No one can say we didn't try
So here's a long goodbye

[Chorus]
Please don't ask the reason why
The long goodbye, 'cause
No one can say we didn't try
So here's a long goodbye

[Chorus]
No one can ask the reason why
The long goodbye, and
No one can say we didn't try
So here's a long goodbye

[Chorus]
Please don't ask the reason why
The long goodbye, 'cause
No one can say we didn't try
So here's a long goodbye
