Tired but I ain't sleeping Thinking about some sad affair And why I should be leaving 'cause some of these thoughts only seem to take me outta here Yeah, these habits are so hard to break And they're so easy to make Well these habits are so hard to break And they're so easy to make Thinking about tomorrow Tired from all the time I spare On what I still believe in When none of my talk ever seems to get me anywhere Yeah, these habits are so hard to break And they're so easy to make Well these habits are so hard to break And they're so easy to make So easy So long Bye, my friend, so long So long Will it ever happen again? You know that I've been waiting for you I've been created for you So long You know the light ain't fading from you Nothing could save me from you So long Tired but I ain't dreaming Falling into solid air And why I must be leaving Or one of these days I'm gonna pull out all my hair Yeah, these habits are so hard to break And they're so easy to make Well these habits are so hard to make And they're so easy to break So easy So long Bye, my friend, so long So long Will it ever happen again? You know that I've been waiting for you I've been created for you So long You know the light ain't fading from you Nothing could save me from you So long
