A Long Goodbye Songtext
von Jann Arden

I′ve lost count of all the days
I've been watching you forget
I felt tangled up and hopeless
But it hasn′t killed me yet

I've been trying to remember all your memories
But I can't pretend

That it′s hard to be a mother to my mother
But it′s like you always said
That it's hard to be a mother to my mother
But it′s like you always said

It's a long goodbye
It ain′t so bad
A long goodbye
Is like a breath

You've got to wrap yourself inside
All the goodness that you′ve had
Wrap yourself inside
All the goodness that you've had


A long goodbye
It ain't the end

I′ve seen you standing in a room
Wondering what′s inside your head
In a moment that existed in a time
That's long been spent

I′m gonna wrap my arms around the days
That you and I have left

'Cause it′s hard to be a mother to my mother
But it's like you always said
That it′s hard to be a mother to my mother
But it's like you always said

It's a long goodbye
It ain′t so bad
A long goodbye
Is like a breath

You′ve got to wrap yourself inside
All the goodness that you've had
Wrap yourself inside
All the goodness that you′ve had


A long goodbye
It ain't the end

A long goodbye
It ain′t so bad
A long goodbye
Is like a breath

You've got to wrap yourself inside
All the goodness that you′ve had
Wrap yourself inside
All the goodness that you've had

A long goodbye
It ain't the end
A long goodbye
It ain′t the end
