Lyrics Long Goodbye - Dwight Yoakam, Michelle Branch

Long Goodbye

Empty cup, broken plate
All those things you never say
Don’t you know by now I can take it like it is?
The sky is dark
Full of rain, it ain’t ever gonna change
The words are are written on your face
Go on and say it
Go on and say it
Go on and say it
Don’t you give me that long goodbye
Don’t stick around and make it worse
Don’t leave me hanging on all night
To every pretty little word
Yeah, don’t you drag me down that road
Of miles and miles and miles of hurt
Don’t you give me that long goodbye
Make it fast, make it sweet
Pull the world out from under my feet
Don’t you worry a thing about me, 'cause I’ll make it
Give me the truth to understand
Since things don’t work out like you planned
When my heart is in your hands, go on and break it
Oh, I can take it
Yeah, I can take it
Don’t you give me that long goodbye
Don’t stick around and make it worse
Don’t leave me hanging on all night
To every pretty little word
Don’t you drag me down that road
Of miles and miles and miles of hurt
Don’t you give me that long goodbye
Yeah, I promise I won’t cry
You won’t see one teardrop fall
I’m a big girl after all
I can take it
I can take it
I can take it
Don’t you give me that long goodbye
Don’t stick around and make it worse
Don’t leave me hanging on all night
To every pretty little word
Yeah, don’t you give me that long goodbye
Don’t stick around and make it worse
Don’t leave me hanging on all night
To every pretty little word
Yeah, don’t you drag me down that road
Of miles and miles and miles of hurt
Don’t you give me that long goodbye
Don’t you give me that long goodbye
Oh, oh
Long goodbye
Long goodbye
Long goodbye
