India.Arie - Long Goodbye Lyrics

India.Arie Lyrics

"Long Goodbye"

I say, "I love you," you say, "That's kind."
You don't wanna get too close
You loved me crazy, I lost my mind
You're everything I've ever wanted
And all the things I didn't need
This ain't who I wanna be

You don't have to stay forever
I'll take passion over pride
Full moon, high tide
Let's make it a long goodbye
Tomorrow we'll pick up the pieces
Try to mend our broken lives
Soft kiss, sweet lies
Let's make it a long goodbye

I cried in silence, I lived through you
I've given everything away
And maybe I can learn to fall for someone who
Can give me all the things I'm not afraid to lose

You don't have to stay forever
I'll take passion over pride
Full moon, high tide
Let's make it a long goodbye
Tomorrow we'll pick up the pieces
Try to mend our broken lives
Soft kiss, sweet lies
Let's make it a long goodbye

Wherever you see lonely faces, that's where I'll be
Don't cry for me, no, no, no
Don't cry for me. Ah
Hey, don't cry for me, no no no
I'm gonna be okay

You don't have to stay forever
I'll take passion over pride
Full moon, high tide
Let's make it a long goodbye
Tomorrow we'll pick up the pieces
Try to mend our broken lives
Sweet lies
Let's make it a long goodbye

You don't have to stay forever
I'll take passion over pride
Full moon, high tide
Let's make it a long goodbye
Tomorrow we'll pick up the pieces
Try to mend our broken lives
Soft kiss, sweet lies
Let's make it a long goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
