Long ago
Just like the hearse, you die to get in again
We are so far from you

Burning on, just like a match you strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know
And what’s the worst to take (worst you take)
From every heart you hurt (heart you hurt)
And like a blade you stained (blade you stained)
Well, I've been holding on tonight


[chorus]
What’s the worst that I could say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight


Came a time
When every star falls
Brought you to tears again
We are the very hurt you sold
And what’s the worst to take (worst to take)
From every heart you hurt (heart you hurt)
And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well, I've been holding on tonight

[chorus]
What’s the worst that I could say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight

Well, if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight

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 could say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight

Well, if you carry out this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight
