• Long ago
    Just like the hearse you died 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 you take (worst you 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

    What's the worst that I can say?
    Things are better if I say
    So long and goodnight
    So long not goodnight

    Came a time
    When every star fall brought you to tears again
    We are the very hurt you sold
    And what's the worst you take (worst you 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

    What's the worst that I can say?
    Things are better if I say
    So long and goodnight
    So long and goodnight
    And 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?

    What's the worst that I can say?
    Things are better if I say
    So long and goodnight
    So long and not goodnight
    And if you carry on this way
    Things are better if I stay
    So long and goodnight
    So long not goodnight
