Title: Helena

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 you take (worst you 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 and 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 you take (worst you 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 and goodnight 


Well, 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 and goodnight 


Well, if you carry on this way 


Things are better if I stay 


So long and goodnight 


So long and goodnight
