Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Long ago

Just like the hearse you die to get in again

We are

So far from you

[Verse 2]

Burning on

Just like the match you strike to incinerate

The lives of everyone you know

[PreChorus]

And what's the worst you take

From every heart you break?

And like the blade you stain

Well, I've been holding on tonight

[Chorus]

What's the worst that I can say?

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long and goodnight

[Verse 3]

Came a time

When every star fall

Brought you to tears again

We are the very hurt you sold

[PreChorus]

And what's the worst you take

From every heart you break?

And like the blade you stain

Well, I've been holding on tonight

[Chorus]

What's the worst that I can say?

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long and goodnight

[Chorus]

And if you carry on this way

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long and goodnight

[Bridge]

Can you hear me?

Are you near me?

Can we pretend

To leave, and then

We'll meet again

When both our cars collide

[Chorus]

What's the worst that I can say?

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long and goodnight

[Chorus]

And if you carry on this way

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long and goodnight
