we had a good ride

we almost made it didn't we

sometimes an ever after ending

is just out of reach

 

so I'll let you go

but I loved you so

when we ruled the world

 

it's the long goodbye

it's a lonely dive

it's the dying light

in your eyes

in your eyes

down goes love

it's a broken life

it's the dream denied

but we tried

and we tried

down goes love

 

we fought a good fight

we never dreamed of giving up

you still got that smile that makes it better

it isn't enough

 

and no one's to blame

it's just not the same

as it used to be

 

it's the long goodbye

it's a lonely dive

it's the dying light

in your eyes

in your eyes

down goes love

it's a broken life

it's the dream denied

but we tried

and we tried

down goes love

 

we'll love again

you to her

me to him

that's not the way we planned it at all

 

it's the long goodbye

it's a lonely dive

it's the dying light

in your eyes

in your eyes

down goes love

it's a broken life

it's the dream denied

but we tried

and we tried

down goes love

 

we almost made it

we almost made it didn't we
