We been together forever, it seems
He knows everything about me
All my secrets, my hopes, and my dreams
I can't imagine him without me
He had doubts, he couldn't walk out
And leavin' was his last resort
He left me a note
"Goodbye," was all he wrote
He's making a long story short
Making a long story short
Just a few lines I'm sure he's leavin'
He must have been in a hurry
And my tears would smear the ink
I read the end of the story
Said, he didn't believe in long goodbyes
He couldn't return no more
The only thing he could say
To make it easy on me
Was making a long story short
Making a long story short
I know it hasn't been heaven
But, he knows how hard I tried
He couldn't bear to see that look on my face
Or the tears in my eyes
When he told me goodbye
How can two loves together
In love forevermore
But, he left me a note
"Goodbye", was all he wrote
He's making a long story short
Making a long story short
Yeah, making a long story short
Oh, making a long story short
