Long ago 00:02

Just like the hearse you die to get in again 00:04

We are so far from you 00:10

Burning on 00:16

Just like the match you strike to incinerate 00:19

The lives of everyone you know 00:25

And what's the worst you take (Worst you take) 00:31

From every heart you break (Heart you break) 00:35

And like the blade you stain (Blade you stain) 00:39

Well, I've been holding on tonight 00:43

What's the worst that I can say? 00:48

Things are better if I stay 00:52

So long and goodnight 00:55

So long and goodnight 00:59

Came a time 01:04

When every star fall 01:07

Brought you to tears again 01:09

We are the very hurt you sold 01:13

And what's the worst you take (Worst you take) 01:18

From every heart you break (Heart you break) 01:22

And like the blade you stain (Blade you stain) 01:26

Well, I've been holding on tonight 01:30

What's the worst that I can say? 01:36

Things are better if I stay 01:40

So long and goodnight 01:43

So long and goodnight 01:47

Well, if you carry on this way 01:51

Things are better if I stay 01:54

So long and goodnight 01:58

So long and goodnight 02:02

Can you hear me? 02:09

Are you near me? 02:16

Can we pretend to leave and then 02:23

We'll meet again 02:31

When both our cars collide 02:35

What's the worst that I can say? 02:40

Things are better if I stay 02:44

So long and goodnight 02:47

So long and goodnight 02:51

Well, if you carry on this way 02:56

Things are better if I stay 02:59

So long and goodnight 03:03

Lyrics:

[English]

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

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 stay

So long and 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 stay

So long and goodnight

Well, if you carry on this way

Things are better if I stay

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

What's the worst that I can say?

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

Well, if you carry on this way

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight
