Long ago
Just like a 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 to take)
From every heart you break (heart you break)
And like a blade you stain (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 not goodnight

Came a time
When every starfall 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 break (heart you break)
And like the blade you stain (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 not goodnight

And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and 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 can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight

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