[Verse] I sit beside you as the world turns gray Your eyes are open but you're far away Your words are whispers A fading light I'm holding on in the endless night [Chorus] This is a long goodbye A love that won't let go A heart that's breaking slow Like a river's gentle flow You're here but you're not And I'm lost in the in-between In this long goodbye Where life feels like a dream [Verse 2] I trace the lines of the man I knew Your face still holds the pieces of you But time's a thief And it takes its toll Stealing away the depths of your soul [Chorus] This is a long goodbye A love that won't let go A heart that's breaking slow Like a river's gentle flow You're here but you're not And I'm lost in the in-between In this long goodbye Where life feels like a dream [Bridge] Memories linger like ghosts in the room Your laughter echoes but fades too soon I'm here to hold you To keep you near But the silence whispers what I fear [Chorus] This is a long goodbye A love that won't let go A heart that's breaking slow Like a river's gentle flow You're here but you're not And I'm lost in the in-between In this long goodbye Where life feels like a dream
