longest goodbye - hiatus lyrics

[verse 1]
they were soul-mates, said she’d wait for him
she miss the old days, always faithful to him
running out to the postman, always waiting on his letters
says it’s her strength, a piece of love he sent her
since they sent him overseas all she can do is count the days
till he returns home, all the while he does the same
staring out the window each night, she trying not to cry
taking comfort knowing that he’s looking to the same sky
counting their blessings, as many as there are stars
no amount of distance could ever tear them apart
it was meant to be, he could plainly see
this is the one sent down from heaven for me
but suddenly one day the letters just stop
and she struggles to understand what she did wrong
could it be that the strain just got too hard
suddenly maybe the distance got too far
now her hope for the future become tears of torture
feeling lost in love with a soldier of misfortune
so she drags herself through a daily routine
that soured ever since her every dream
became a nightmare to through
still check the mail hoping something will come through
and every night she lies awake and cries
cuz she knows it’s time for a long goodbye

[bridge]
oh this is a long goodbye
somebody tell me why
two lovers in love can’t make it
just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart
no matter how hard i try
i always make you cry
c’mon baby it’s over let’s face it
all that’s happening here is a long goodbye

[verse 2]
then one day there’s a ringing at the door
soldier in dress blues says “we regret to inform you
that he was k!lled in the line of duty
he was a great soldier and a man of true virtue
here’s his medals, and the last of his letters
and the picture from his pocket, he really loved you”
she sits down and deadly pain for the doubt she threw on him
a rush of tears as she sees his medal of honor
his actions saved the lives of twenty-two men
and now this is all she has left of him
vows to love him until the day she dies
as he did, now she has to face this long goodbye

[outro]
i know they say if you love somebody…
you should set them free
