[Verse 1]
Long ago, just like the hearse you die to get in again
We are so far from you
Burning on, just like the match you strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know

[Pre-Chorus]
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 2]
Came a time when every star fall brought you to tears again
We are the vеry hurt you sold

[Pre-Chorus]
And what's the worst you take
From evеry 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
Well, 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
Well, if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
